The friendliness yet professionalism of the staff was exceptional. Customer service is at the forefront and they looked after their guests so well from arrival to departure. The breakfast was thoughtfully prepared offering a variety of food and catering for food intolerances. The front of house staff (Elisabetta I do believe) went over and above to make our stay comfortable and memorable. She greeted us, helped with luggage as did other lovely staff, and assisted us with finding a street parking spot (very difficult to find in Ragusa). Our suite was more than comfortable and we thought the dedication to the owner’s grandfather was a very special touch. What a lovely acknowledgment of his dedication and love of his family. There was a large and thoughtfully decorated living room for guests. The hotel was close to the lower Ragusa with plenty of restaurants. Thank you AD1768 for a memorable stay.

An ancient historic house that has been stylishly and elegantly renovated (think Milan comes to Sicily) by the feisty Sicilian owner, Josefina. Simply gorgeous rooms and shared spaces. Comfortable and clean rooms/beds/bathrooms. The Ibla is small, and the hotel is ideally situated for walking, which is all you really want to do here, as driving is not advised. If you are driving, pay attention to the detailed instructions they send regarding ZTL and parking. If you can schlep your bags instead of driving up to the hotel, I would recommend it. I do not recommend driving up. Very lovely and attentive staff. The owner was also present during our stay, overseeing service of the delicious (if somewhat fussy) breakfast. Must have the eggs Josefina! The space and the staff make you feel elegant!

Don't drive up to the hotel if you can at all avoid it. Park first if possible.

We had an exceptional stay at this hotel. The staff is absolutely the friendliest I've met in a long time. The breakfast was delicious and they had well thought out options, lots of local and organic foods. I was impressed how well organized everything was, for example when we returned from breakfast our room was already cleaned, that was consistent throughout our stay. We've stayed in several more expensive brand hotels around the world and never experienced anything like this. I would stay at this hotel again.

Parking is a bit tricky, would be awesome to have dedicated parking spaces near the hotel.

The location is ideal, youre in the heart of the charmin old town - staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms are bright with huge bathroom, super clean and quiet during the night - the church in front you’ll obviously hear in the morning :D Á la carte breakfast is very nice and also the design of the entrance - all very lovely

Be sure to arrive before 5pm as parking is difficult - there are public spaces close by but its a tiny old town with narrow streets and you will be stressed out parking the car

If you go to Ragusa (highly recommended), stay at A.D. 1768. The hotel, recently renovated, is beautiful, artistic, clean and innovative. Staff (including the owner) was super friendly and went above and beyond to give us recommendations, not just for Ragusa, but for the rest of our stay in Sicily. Breakfast was amazing; we chose three items off the menu and received eggs, four types of biscuits (cookies/pastries) and a fruit cup. And the location - right on the central plaza, cannot be beat. The price was incredibly reasonable - especially because of the quality of the breakfast.

Nothing to improve.

Everything was amazing, the place is a gem. We stayed just for one night but we wished we could spend more days there. Every little detail of the hotel, both in the rooms and in the common spaces (the living room is not to be missed!) is carefully thought with exquisite taste. The breakfast was a culinary experience , not a buffet but authentic Sicilian recipes prepared and served in the style of a fine dining restaurant . Last but not least all the staff was very professional and at the same time friendly and open . We will definitely return to this place when we get the chance.

Nothing to mention here really.

Picked it for the location and a balcony with view of the cathedral. Very large room and very large bed and gorgeous bedlinen. Little smeg fridge .Coffee machine. Very nice large shower .Breakfast was all to order and was excellent. Great atmosphere in the surrounding area in the evening with lots of good quality bars and restaurants. A lovely place to stroll and see the sun set.

Parking , we booked as it mentioned parking but Ragusa Ilba has no parking in the historic old town . Plenty of parking on the lower area but a 15/20 min walk from where we parked. So travel light.

I had the pleasure of staying at a stunning hotel located right in the heart of the old town, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, capturing the charm and history of the area while offering all the modern comforts one could wish for. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. Every member of the team went out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect, making me feel right at home. If you're looking for a place with character, comfort, and unparalleled service, this hotel is a must-visit.

The hotel is impeccable – beautifully decorated, perfectly clean everywhere, and offers maximum comfort. It was more luxurious than anticipated and located ideally, but even so the staff is probably the best part! They are brilliant and went out of their way to be hospitable and helpful at all times. Also, their breakfast is amazing.

Nothing really, but two small suggestions could be to place bathrobes in the rooms for convenience and perhaps a full-length mirror, which would be useful. These are very minor though, and managed just fine without.

Beautifully restored XVIII century palace, with great taste and the right dose of personality, converted into a 9-bedrooms boutique hotel, with rooms and common areas in very generous dimensions. Managed by its owner Josephine, with utmost attention to detail and style. Best possible location a few meters away from the cathedral. Exquisite breakfast made with top quality local products. Staff very kind, attentive and professional.
