Eremo della Giubiliana

$ | Contrada Giubiliana, Ragusa, 97100, Italy

In the countryside about 20 minutes by car south of Ragusa, this charming family-run monastery-turned-hotel features friendly service and a relaxed but luxurious vibe, with unique rooms in former monks' chambers that vary in size and lay-out but are all quiet and well-appointed. All of them come with antiques, stone floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and tapestries; some also have fireplaces, whirlpools, and/or balconies. The restaurant offers a selection of Sicilian standards, and there's a lovely patio, where guests can enjoy the expansive breakfast buffet.

  • Rooms filled with character
  • Top-notch service

Cons

  • Grounds, while lovely, could use better upkeep
  • Restaurant food could be better
  • No other nearby eateries due to remote location

Masseria degli Ulivi

$ | Contrada Porcari SS287, Noto, 96017, Italy

Up on the Hyblean plateau, a good 15-minute drive north of Noto, this rural masseria (farm) is surrounded by tastefully designed two-story lodgings and immersed in olive groves. Though it's close to Noto Antica and some fabulous hiking, you could be forgiven for spending your day drifting between the pool, bar, and restaurant.

Pros

  • Excellent restaurant
  • Airy breakfast room with patio
  • Courteous staff

Cons

  • Really need your own transport
  • Breakfast could be better
  • Sparsely decorated rooms not for all
