This place-and entire town actually-delights the senses in every way, especially if you're looking for an authentic town that isn't overrun with tourists.
Our host Elena greeted us at a nearby piazza and got in the car with us to take us to a Parking spot her husband Simone was saving for us! She then drove us straight to the villa-it is indeed a villa- that in my opinion has had one of the most stunning renovations and refurbishing of an old property I think I've ever seen. The rooms are massive and boast cathedral ceilings, gorgeous furnishings, spotless bathroom with upgraded modern conveniences, and a stunning view of this entire mountain town of Ragusa Ibla.
We happened to be there for the Busker's annual festival and Elena had a programme marked out and waiting for us making it much easier to navigate. The town is bustling with native, local happy families and couples and is simply gorgeous- cobblestoned and picturesque narrow streets, stunning vistas all around and wonderful shopping.
Elena made us an amazing breakfast the next morning which we had on the terrace which boasts an outstanding view of the town. Her English is excellent so was simply the icing on the cake!
I almost wanted to give this place a bad review so that we could help keep it a secret and the true hidden gem it is. But alas-we wouldn't want to stop others from experiencing this.
You're a fool if you don't stay here if visiting this town- we cannot wait to come back!!!
