โรงแรมใกล้กับ Chiesa San Giovanni Evangelista (Madonna delle Grazie), Vizzini

When we arrived a lady at reception helped us to carry our luggage to our room. We slept very well indeed because the hotel was situated in a quiet street, yet very close to the centre of Ragusa Superiore. It was amazing to walk and cover virtually the entire area to see the charming historic sights including so many churches in both Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa central, and to hear their bells chime regularly, was a beautiful experience. At breakfast, ladies greeted us, and each time we wanted certain edibles, the ladies came to our assistance. De Stefano's Director, was exceptional and made our stay perfect by going the extra mile, offering advice if we needed anything out of the ordinary. What a welcoming professional she is, always homely, smiling and happy. All the staff were terribly friendly and helpful, and so very eager to please and the service was first class. The room was kept in pristine condition and the bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel's position was fine, close to the many steps down and up to Ibla, and then up to the centre of Ragusa to go shopping or sightseeing there too. Restaurants were plentiful and with a little detective work, we found brilliant eateries off the beaten track and oh my, the variety of so so tasty cannoli became mind boggling. The venues that stood out for us for dinner were La Taverna Del Lupo, authentic and one we kept going back to, Trattoria da Luigi, Trattoria La Bettola and if you do not mind walking off a heavenly meal, then you must dine at Trattoria nto' Cumannanti, what a down to earth fun place with bustling atmosphere to enhance your taste buds. For lunch or a bite to eat, you have to go to Benvenuti al Sud, small family run with fantastic home cooked meals, and for an incredible variety of yummy delights we found ourselves returning often to Caffé Sicilia which had everything, and finally look out for fine bakeries such as the Panificio Carpenzano located in Corso Italia, and others presenting scrumptious and wholesome snacks. We had a wonderful stay at the De Stefano Palace Luxury Hotel. It was a fantastic holiday and it was a real pleasure to stay at the De Stefano. We found The De Stefano Luxury Hotel superb, and Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla were fine examples to see Sicily's splendid architecture. Well done De Stefano, truly recommended.

I know there are many 5 star reviews for this hotel but we were a bit disappointed. We’d split our week between 2 centres in Sicily so this hotel had some tough competition. We found this hotel to be ‘fine’ - the room was clean and the bed comfortable, it was however a little small and being on the lowest level felt a bit like living in a cave! The hotel is trying to be more ‘eco’ so no separate soaps/shampoo instead they provide a liquid soap dispenser in the shower and beside the sink - so far so okay. Towel washing is not done daily in an attempt to reduce use of water etc. we have no issues with this. The trouble with this hotel for us is that it has no heart/ sense of community being spread over 6 floors in a maze of a layout within old buildings. It doesn’t feel like an old building inside however as the conversion to a hotel has lead to the loss of any old character the building had which is a shame. The only communal area is the breakfast serving/ terrace area. We were greeted by one member of staff asking for our room number but then we essentially had to find ourselves a table and help ourselves to the buffet. Eventually we were offered a cappuccino or espresso but not until we had already poured ourselves a coffee from the hot plate jug on the buffet. Breakfast had an extensive array of options catering to the various tastes of guests but compared to the other hotel we’d been staying in there was very limited fresh fruit options which was surprising as there was such an abundance of nectarines, grapes, strawberries and other fruits on the market stalls locally. All in all we agreed this hotel felt like a conference hotel- not really engaging with the guests to make an effort to give good customer service but just going through the motions.
