THE BEST HOTEL IN SIRACUSA AND THE SOUTHEAST

Giardino sul Duomo

$ | Via Dottor Solarino 26/A, Ragusa, 97100, Italy
Fodor's Choice

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

With a selection of smartly appointed rooms scattered among traditional stone buildings and a modern breakfast room and reception area, this ideally located albergo diffuso with chic citrus-grove gardens provides a perfect Val di Noto base. Charming owner Michele is always on hand to help, with wonderful suggestions for visits in Ragusa and beyond. There's an excellent breakfast selection including made-to-order eggs and handpicked fruits, which can be enjoyed in the garden, a peaceful haven at all times of the day and where the pool can also be found.

Pros

  • Reliable, friendly, hands-on owner Michele
  • Incredible views of Ragusa Ibla, the Duomo, and hills from the garden and pool
  • Range of lodging options

Cons

  • Gets booked up in advance
  • Not all rooms have stunning views
  • Not everyone may be able to negotiate Ibla's hilly lanes

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

Scicli Albergo Diffuso

$ | Via Francesco Mormino Penna 15, Scicli, 97018, Italy

Since it's a bit off the beaten path, Scicli doesn't have too many hotels, but a good choice to rest your head is Albergo Diffuso, which can best be described as a “dispersed hotel,” where rooms are located in different historic homes throughout the town. The houses are all recently restored and well-equipped; and largely concentrated in a 1,000-foot radius of Via Francesco Mormina Penna.

Pros

  • Central Scicli locations
  • Good breakfast provided
  • Grand Palazzo Favacchio-Patanè rooms

Cons

  • Some apartments substantially smaller than others
  • No restaurant on-site
  • Lack of on-site 24/7 reception
