Lovely BnB but There was no one there during check in. We were given instructions on how to get there through WhatsApp and it was a difficult place to find that took us over an hour of running through alleys and up huge flights of steps trying to find it. Our rooms were nice but hardly any plug ins for devices and the WIFI would not work in our upstairs rooms. The breakfast buffet was huge and very delicious. Not a good location if you have limited mobility.

The B&B is lovely. You are inside the side of the mountain. The host was very clear in her messages and helpful with instructions how to get into the B&B . She told us to use google map to get from the parking lot to the B&B . But , It sent us by way of steep multitude of steps . Very very difficult with luggage . The person told us a better way back with luggage to the car, there will still steps but mostly road . Breakfast was excellent and the person arranging it was delightful to talk to and was helpful with some ideas . January is the coldest month here and most places was shut down . Very few people walking around

Good location but service seems problematic
Major issue with check in... contradictory information about check in time... documented as 16:00 at property stated as 15:00. Nobody at property to let us in... waited til 16:00, then 17:00 (not what you want when arriving somewhere new). Worry & panic starts to set in... checking dates etc...Finally had help from a local who managed to make phone contact (to owner?). Who merely said there was a key lock to use & provided code to get in. This would have been great if we'd been told prior to our arrival or by an explicit notice somewhere!

This is a very special Hotel. The location is great for walking to everything within 10 minutes. Ragusa Ibla is a walking community. You can not really have your car in Ragusa Ilba, but there is a convenient pay parking lot just below the property, reasonable 10eu per day. You will need to carry your bags up several steps, but once at the hotel it is an oasis with beautiful views, great in room amenities and the best breakfast ever. The room we had was large with great bed and nice bathroom. Lots of fresh home made local products for breakfast. They even did our laundry. I would highly recommend a stay here. It is perfect for couples.

The nicest place we stayed in Sicily.
This place was the nicest place we stayed in Sicily. Absolutely beautiful with the stone walls and beautiful view. It was also had a nice large shower. The bed and pillows were comfortable - firm but not as hard as others we had in Sicily. Marco was an excellent host. He picked us up at the parking area and drove us up to the B&B. We were also served a lovely breakfast in the quaint dining area. Marco also recommend a fantastic restaurant where he works ( osteria imperfetta) and we liked it so much we went back for a second time. The food was amazing. My only regret was that we were not able to stay longer. I loved everything about Sabbinirica. I would definitely stay here again.

A very unique accommodation carved into natural stone made this a very special place. Breakfast was good with many options of pastries, yogurt, meat & cheeses, hard boiled eggs, cereals etc. Central location in old town but still quiet. Marco was very accommodating and made excellent dining recommendations. We loved this property and would definitely recommend it. There are steep stairs up to the property so it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.( it is a hillside town!)

We really enjoyed our stay - our rooms were pretty, interesting (never stayed in a room that backed up to a cave before) and comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was provided and the women at the front desk were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Glad we chose this place for two nights in Ragusa Ibla!

This is a beautiful property preserved in the heritage tradition. It is in walking distance to the main attractions. Beds are comfortable and the property is in excellent condition. The warning would be for older people sometimes a taxi drops you at the bottom of a narrow street so it is quite a drag up hill with bags. There are steep stairs to the beautiful breakfast room.

Best stay, in all of Italy ! A true gem
What a gem ! We travelled for 30 days in Italy, staying in 14 different properties, and Sabbinirica was by far our favourite . From start to end the experience was exceptional. Laura was very communicative prior to our arrival, insuring we knew where the free parking was located. We were travelling with a fair bit of luggage and she organized a taxi to get us from the parking, to the B and B ( highly recommend the taxi, it made arriving after a long travel day so easy) We arrived prior to checkin hours, very clear instructions were given on self checkin on arrival. The moment you enter the property your eye is drawn to the love and attention given to this property. Beautiful architectural design and details are everywhere. Our room was so beautiful . Spacious room, large bedroom suite area, with chairs to sit on, comfy bed, tea/coffee amenities in room. Extra large bathroom. Beautiful view from the small balcony. Quality linens , and beautifully painted ceiling. Really made us feel like we were somewhere special. Breakfast was ample with a variety to suite everyones tastes. The hosts were so warm and kind... I highly recommend this property, it really is a special place to stay.

First class hospitality in lovely Ragusa
Simply the best place we stayed at in Sicily! Not only were Laura and Tiziana friendly and efficient in handling our booking and arranging transport from the train to their lovely hotel, Laura went out of her way to help us and even made delicious gluten free cakes for breakfast. Each morning there was a great spread of homemade cake, jams, yoghurt, eggs and terrific coffee. Sabbinirica was a brilliant find - first class hospitality, immaculate character-filled rooms made it the perfect base to explore the winding streets of Ragusa.

Outstanding! If you get the opportunity to stay here, don't miss out!!! This has to be one of the best boutique hotels in Ragusa, if not Sicily. This very unique hotel is full of character, in an idyllic location, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and reasonably priced. The complimentary breakfast is also amazing! I loved the nice selection of local cheeses, salami, olives, sun dried tomatoes, breads, baked goods, homemade jams and honey, juices, coffee and more! The view from the outside terrace while enjoying breakfast is also perfect. Laura's hospitality was also exceptional and very much appreciated! I hope to be back someday soon.

It was quiet in December in Ragusa. We had hotel Sabbinirica nearly to ourselves! One would think that the breakfast and staffing might be scaled back, but the exact opposite was true. The breakfast wasn't only plentiful, but the attention to my husband's gluten and dairy intolerances was more than accommodated to! A different gluten-free torte was provided to him each morning, along with breads, cereals, biscuits, alternative milks ... Everything was immaculate. Our hosts helped to book us different experiences and helped us to find a repair for a flat tire. Our room was warm and cozy, which for a hotel built into a cave - we were worried it might be chilly. They even made our belongings look perfect and quaint in the beautiful room. The bed and linens were so comfortable. The position of the hotel was perfectly on the edge of the old town, with beautiful views. We will definitely be back to Ragusa and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!
