Wonderful stay in the heart of Ragusa Ibla. The location was excellent—within easy walking distance of the main sights, restaurants, and beautiful piazzas that make the town so special. The hotel was charming, impeccably clean, and blended perfectly with the historic character of the area. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the room was comfortable and well appointed. We only stayed one night, but it was the perfect base for exploring Ragusa Ibla. We would happily stay here again on a future visit.

We had a lovely stay at the Relais Antica Badia. The team were just fantastic in keeping us comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast was amazing and the little daily cakes and evening chocolates made it special. They even did a small breakfast birthday cake for my wife. The hotel location is good with lots of nice restaurants within a 5 minute walk. The location is also good for accessing Ragusa Ibla via the steps. The local bus station to Modica and Scicli is also an easy walk. We thoroughly recommend a stay here and would certainly stay again.

The hotel is a lovely property. It’s an old building so some part of the roof is low.

We had an issue with our AC but hadn’t changed room but was offered a drink and the a la carte breakfast from the hotel, they also comped our spa visit.

The spa wasn’t that great the steam room never gathered enough steam to feel the effects but the sauna was working well.

The local area is good, a few bars and restaurants, but please book on a weekend as we couldn’t get a place on a Saturday anywhere. You can walk to the old town but be prepared it’s extremely steep walk.

The staff are super friendly and couldn’t do more to help you.

Total would recommend the stay as a great stop over to see the town.

The hotel is gorgeous, a palazzo right in front of St. John the Baptist. The breakfast rooms are absolutely beautiful, surpassed only by the breakfast, with several made to order items like eggs Benedict. Also the little cannoli, stuffed by the staff right before you bite into them, are to die for. All the staff, on all areas of the hotel, was incredibly helpful and attentive. Will absolutely book again on a return trip, and probably for more days than I did this time around.

We spent 4 nights at the Relais Antica Badia and used it as a base to explore Ragusa, Noto, Scicli, Marzamemi, Modica, and even managed to fit in a winery visit thanks to the wonderful staff at the front desk. (All day trips are highly recommended.)

The room (Room 205) was amazing with a lovely balcony overlooking the Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista. The bed, bathroom, and finishings were terrific - the nicest hotel on our travels so far. Breakfast was BIG and excellent quality - too big so we wanted to save room for other meals and had coffee at Caffè Italia instead, a lovely place across the road.

We had aperitivo and dinner at the adjoining restaurant, Ciano, which is not to be missed! It was the best meal we had in Sicily so far (we're serious foodies). Definitely Michelin quality inventive food where every dish Is gorgeous, packed with flavour and very inventive. Every dish is like opening a present. And how often do you leave the restaurant having made friends with the head chef, sommelier and wait staff! Awesome!

Parking on site worked well for us, but there's also a lot around the corner.

Honestly, this visit was a real treat and we highly recommend staying here.

Charming 18th Century Palace!!!

We greatly enjoyed our recent stay at Relais Antica Badia, a charming hotel above the old city of Regusa. The staff was both attentive and helpful with suggestions and recommended some wonderful restaurants in close walking proximity. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with great beds and large bathrooms, and nice amenities. We chose to use their parking service for 15E per day, and it was well-worth the convenience of having them park the car and bring it to us within a few minutes whenever we requested it. I will mention that the walk (all downhill) to the center of the old part of Ragusa was long and very steep with many steps once the road ended, but we did it going down and then got a taxi to bring us back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic hotel and rate our overall experience a 5-star in every way! The rooms are beautifully decorated and cleaned twice a day. The staff were all fantastic. All our needs and questions were attended to in the most kind, caring, and professional manner. Breakfast buffet was served in the lovely dining rooms with a wonderful assortment of foods. The is situated along one of the main streets in the historic Baroque section of Ragusa - across the valley from Ragusa-Ibla. There are small restaurants in the area, a tourist information center a block away, a grocery store 2 blocks away, various other shops etc. The ancient stairs (approx 300 stairs !) down to Ragusa-Ibla can be found less than 1/2 of a mile from the hotel. There is also a city bus that runs the route to Ragusa-Ibla and back, as well as taxi services. We feel very fortunate to have picked this excellent hotel in Ragusa from the HOTELS.com website.

Greeted by surly receptionists who didn't even ask for our name, but said, first of all, \"10 euros for parking\". Treated us as if we were unexpected even though we had a confirmed reservation for 3 nights. Whenever we asked for basic city info, the receptionists were unhelpful, chatted on their cell phones, and clearly uninformed and indifferent. No wi-fi in room (ever!), they shut off all air conditioning throughout night and early morning). Elegantly decorated room that faced out on noisy courtyard (7 am loud noises every am), nice breakfast, get there early, food runs out (cold scrambled eggs) and variety of day old pastries.

Beautiful restoration, miserable local knowledge

Hotel is located in beautifully restored pallazo, breakfast room is sumptuous. Breakfast less so although it improved noticeably on our third day. Stayed in \"hibiscus room\" which is closet-like with no windows but not claustrophobic due to window in second room which looks over hotel car park and is very quiet and a mirror wall. Staff is astonishingly inept at recommendations. We were sent to a \"gelato place\" which actually only had ice cream bars, a restaurant that we couldn't get into because we needed reservations, a chocolate shop that was closed, another restaurant that was closed. This was all from different people so it was not due to some instinctive dislike from a single employee and seemed instead simply stellar ineptness. We would stay there again. Location is right across from duomo and tourist office which was very helpful and about 2blocks from the pascale gelatoria, pattiseria, chocolateria and aracine place which is definitely worth a visit.

We had difficulty finding the hotel but once there the staff were very welcoming, the hotel was very pleasant in a good central location. (The website could do with more precise instructions in English after one has entered the town, currently there are none). Breakfast excellent as was the dinner in the indoor restaurant. Would propose that the hotel reception provide a map of the city on arrival pointing out the good restaurants, sights and shopping in the local area and explain the layout of Ragusa (ie Ibla, the steps etc) or point visitors in the direction of the tourist office which we found on our last day very close to the hotel. If you are driving, keep to the main roads and do not try the side roads unless you drive a very small car!

Fantastic hotel, great value for money

After a last minute change of plan we left Catania early and booked this hotel in Ragusa - it turned out to be the best decision of the holiday. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel - a real gem of a find. We got a taxi from the bus terminal to the hotel as it's about 20min walk.
Set back a bit from the street, through a stone arch, Antica Badia Relais has been beautifully restored and decorated, pure luxury within the rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and the most opulent surroundings in which to have breakfast. It was amazing value for money too, a great way to end our holiday.
The hotel is easy to find, on the main street of the more modern part of Ragusa but easy to walk to the old town (though we resorted to a taxi on return rather than climb the steps, about €10 during the day or €15 at night). Would definitely recommend to others without hesitation.

They hooked us up with a local taxi driver who maded our stay extra special with his professionalism, promptness and always delivering excellent customer service. He truly enhanced our experience in Ragusa and is Over the top!!! The hotel is a hidden gem.

Bon emplacement, permet de visiter la ville à pied si on aime marcher , monter et descendre ! Ragusa se mérite.
Place parking dans la rue.
Bonne literie ,
Personnel accueillant.

Il faut savoir qu’il se permette de facturer 8€ l’omelette du petit déjeuner même s’il est compris dans votre nuit .
Jamais vu ailleurs…dommage.

Dejligt hotel med fantastisk service fra et smilende og meget hjælpsomt personale. Værelset var rent og fint, manglede dog en bruseniche. At stå i et badekar er svært ;)
Morgenmaden var lækker.
Vi nød vores korte ophold her :)

Hébergement idéalement situé et où il est très facile de se garer (pour les voyageurs en voiture, parking sécurisé accessible à proximité), literie particulièrement confortable, personnel extrêmement accueillant et serviable.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir lors d'un prochain séjour à Raguse !

Für eine Nacht okay ! Die Stadt ist eher langweilig nichts los.

Hotel di charme in centro a Ragusa

Location storica molto accogliente, situata in centro a Ragusa superiore.
La nostra camera aveva tutti i confort necessari, gradito il letto king size.
La colazione TOP composta da torte e prodotti freschissimi e preparati sul momento.
Tutto lo staff è stato veramente gentile e ospitale, la citta di Ragusa merita certamente una visita ! Da consigliare

Bonne surprise

Pour avoir fait de nombreux voyages en Italie, et pour avoir fréquenté plusieurs hôtels lors de ce séjour à Palerme, Agrigente, Syracuse... nous pouvons affirmer que cet hôtel est le meilleur où nous avons séjourné et pour le meilleur rapport qualité prix.
Nous avons reçu un très bon accueil, ainsi qu'un excellent niveau de conseil. La chambre et les communs sont très agréables, le petit déjeuner top dans un très belle salle du palais, service attentionné et impeccable. Nous serions ravis d'avoir à nouveau l'occasion de séjourner à nouveau dans cet hôtel.

Great hotel with wonderful staff, could be a bit noisy at night with the room facing the cathedral. Can’t wait to come back

Ottima scelta!

Hotel molto elegante in palazzo storico in una posizione strategica per spostamenti e per andare a Ibla anche a piedi (ma c’è anche uno shuttle nelle vicinanze).

Colazione molto buona e servizio eccellente.
