Pangsapuri di Ragusa

First thing to realize 4 stars in Sicily is different than 4 stars in the US. With that We were in a superior accomodation. The room was HUGE, Clean and bed was very conmfortable. Bathroom was very large Shower was so modern with so many nozzles we couldnt figure out how to use it. Over size large balcony deck but side door was ajar. Breakfast was wonderful and huge just like every breakfast hotel in Sicily. Area wa great with many places to eat and shop Single Elevator service spotty and front staff trying but too busy

Poggio del Sole Hotel Is a hotel of contradiction with impressive and grossly unimpressive features. The hotel is very large considering its remote, rural location. The foyer area is enormous with a large comfortable lounge area. There are numerous large dining areas and you can also eat by the side of the large pool. The pool also has a bar so you can order drinks and snacks. The decor is tasteful with wooden reproductions of a variety of cactus plants including the prickly pear, a noxious **** in Australia but its fruit is used to flavour spirits in Sicily. All sounds very impressive and favourable so far. So how do most people spend most of their time besides sleeping? Browsing the Internet on their phones and iPads. Whilst “free WiFi” signs are common in hotels, cafes etc., it is now a universal expectation. With this in mind, efficient internet connectivity is both mandatory and essential. During our two day stay, WiFi was generally unavailable. To make matters worse, the restaurant menu was only available electronically and there were no paper back up menus. Selecting a food choice from an invisible menu is a challenge. Understandably the restaurant staff seemed to be in a permanent state of stress. The food was very good but a prayer may be needed to get what you ordered. Oh! yes. The rooms are large and have all the expected facilities except for drink making items. Large bed but with 3-stars for comfort. Large bathroom, hot water but wafer thin towels. So lots of pluses, a few minor negatives and the WiFi issue may not be a regular problem (suspect it is), restaurants have atmosphere and reasonable food so just remember to bring a book to read for when your mobile device is inoperative.

Located out in the fields about 10 km from town. The hotel privately owned is old world & beautiful. Hotel staff are very friendly & helpful. We had a room with a lovely balcony, were we sat each night. Very comfortable beds. The restaurant carries the prices of the Michelin hat it achieve in 2018. We did not eat there as we did not fancy the menu, but mainly the 4 euro cover charge p/p the highest cover charge we have seen in the 10 weeks we have been in Italy & Sicily. The breakfast is lovely, a large variety on offer, The first breakfast offer where the hot food is actually hot. The only negative the cleaners do not include the balcony in their cleaning routine, our table was filthy & a sun chair had droppings on it reception tried to tell us it may have rained????? beautiful blue skies, & if so why wasn't it cleaned during our stay.

The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The location was perfect right in the centre yet incredibly quiet. 4 nights was just enough to discover the delights of Ragusa, and this hotel made my stay an absolute pleasure.

Amazing stay, lovely and quiet hotel. But the best of the best is GONZALO he treats you like family. I really recommend to have dinner in the hotel, the food that Gonzalo offers is another level and with a very fair price. Thanks from London it was lovely

Absolutely top notch. My husband and I first came to Ragusa 12 years ago. Much has changed but thankfully much has stayed the same in the town. We were happy to discover Itria Palace when we were planning our itinerary. We stayed in a family room that consisted of two rooms, three beds and two showers. The room was accessible by stairs or lift. It was quiet, clean, super comfortable bed and pillows with very cold air conditioning. Breakfast in the morning was delightful featuring plenty of the usual Italian standards but also included local offerings which were delicious. A member of staff was on hand to prepare caffe and cappuccino for guests. We will absolutely return!

We stayed here as part of a group. Our room was lovely, but rather cool and dark, with a tiled floor, so if staying in the cooler months take pyjamas and slippers. There was (plug-in) heating in the room. The shower room fittings looked ancient but worked very well, with a plentiful supply of toiletries and towels replaced regularly. Breakfast was excellent, with a variety of freshly prepared fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, some hot food, croissants, warm rolls and bread for toasting. AND a huge array of sweet things. The coffee could have been better, but lots of different teas available with a teapot. We only had 2 dinners here, neither of which were that special, but the restaurant was always full in the evenings. Staff were helpful, friendly and spoke good English.

Fantastic location and charming staff. The best beds of the trip. Elegantly appointed and well maintained. It is a converted palazzo so the layout was a bit strange. Each of our rooms included two king beds in two generously sized rooms…one medium firm and one firm. But only one chair. There were benches too so plenty of room. The large bathrooms included only a tub with a wand and no shower. Fun watching my husband take his first bath in at least 20 years! We had apertivo in the hotel and the cocktails were well made. The staff even brought snacks out without us having to ask. Breakfast was good with excellent coffee service and eggs on the buffet. It was the first hotel on this trip that included several milk alternatives and gluten free options. The location made walking down to Ragusa Ibla easy (we did take a taxi back up). They had free parking a few blocks away that allowed us easy access to our car. They also offered a pool and gardens at a sister hotel a few blocks away. My only wish was for coffee in the rooms.
