Antica Locanda del Golf - Ragusa

This guest did not leave a comment.

The rooms are beautifully decorated. The spa is top-of-the line. And the icing on the cake was the general manager, Massimo. Massimo made us feel like family and elevated our stay from very good to absolutely superb. Massimo catered to our every request -- setting us up with fantastic private tour guides, directing us to the best local restaurants and even taking us shopping and to taste the best local cannolis. I cannot say enough good things about Massimo. He really made our stay special.

This modern, six room hotel was built into the side of a mountain/cliff. We stayed here for five nights in July and were very impressed. Our room was huge, very clean, modern and comfortable. The big double window opens up to reveal a view of the hills, offering stunning sunsets each evening. The table and chairs just in front of this bay window is the nearest thing to a balcony this architectural feat can provide and was a wonderful feature. The contents of the mini-bar were free (non-alcoholic beverages). The reception staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and spoke english. The gentleman at reception (regretfully we didn't get his name) went out of his way to help us, recommended places to visit and even happily translated the menu at the restaurant for us, suggesting local dishes to try. The personal touch was very refreshing. Breakfast was the best we had in Italy; there was a wonderful selection of foods for everyone's taste. Parking is free on the street below which you have access to via an elevator and tunnel built into the mountain (it is unique and very James Bond-esque). San Giorgio Palace is very well located just a 2-3 minute walk from the centre of beautiful Ragusa. The only issue we could find (and we were searching) is that the shower door was a bit tricky to open at times but we were told about it when we were escorted to our room and personally shown around. It was a non-issue for us but good to know. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at San Giorgio Palace, loved Ragusa and would return in a heartbeat. We highly recommend this little gem - you won't be disappointed.

Best if you are driving. Not sure about local transport connection as it is not in very center of the city. Everything was perfect - jacuzi in the room, clean, tidy, nice, wide choice of bufet for breakfast, swimming pool, jacuzi outside, internet. Will definetally go back there. Also staff was was very welcoming and helpful. 12 out of 10.

The staff were particularly helpful. The hotel has character and extensive grounds. This in an area of Sicily that is not particularly well served with quality accommodation. The only real shortcoming of the hotel was the difficulty in finding it. It's located on a very minor unnamed road off the main Strada Statale - the hotel signpost from the main road is almost impossible to see in the dark and the hotel itself has no signage on the building just lots of lights on at night.
