Super comfortable stay
Super hotel, comfortable, clean and spacious. Very nice buffet breakfast. Can get a little busy around the pool if hotel is full and it’s a bit of a hike into town but the hotel is worth it.

Beautiful accommodation, excellent staff. Our upstairs room with window only was a bit small for us; next time we would choose a room with a patio and easy access to the lovely gardens. A long way to Ragusa Ibla: a very tiring walk, not for the faint hearted. But being able to park the car and not drive the narrow city streets was worth its weight in gold.

Villa Boscarino is beautifully renovated and decorated to a high standard. Staff very friendly and helpful. It’s in a very built up area out of town, not much going on around it. The walk to the centre is extremely hilly a good 20 minutes to the new town and 40 to the old town.

Dear Mrs Ingrid, thank you for leaving your review. We are pleased you appreciated the Villa and its decor. We always do our best to welcome our guests and to be helpful in their needs. The Villa is located in a residential area that was open countryside at the time the Villa was built, and later the city has grown: it is a shame that the landscape has changed so deeply but it is something out of our control. We hope to have you here in the future. kind regards. gloria

Interesting hotel in old Villa
We stayed one night for our Ragusa trip and we had a junior suite. Excellent, but not for people who don’t like spiral staircases as we had a spiral staircase up to the bedroom area. The suite was very comfortable and the hotel is really special in an old villa. Service was excellent. Everything is new and in excellent condition.

A Little Disappointing
The photos are a little deceiving. This looks like it's in a beautiful remote area of Ragusa but in fact, it's in a residential area surrounded by ordinary homes and apartments. The grounds are small and there is no pool (they have a hot tub, but it was not clean looking). The building itself is pretty, but small, the staff is lovely and accommodating. I was disappointed because I thought it would be more grand.

photo misleading
Hotel is very nicely done however the photos are very misleading about the location. It is in the middle of the residential area surrounded by highrise ugly buildings . So there is no benefit from being away from historical centre. Therefore I would not recommend the place to anyone.

Unique hotel, easy to park
Very unique place. Basic a landmark and now coverted into a hotel. All rooms are smaller than the picture looks like. Breakfast is tasty but no hot items besides coffee. The hotel is in new part of the city, not far from the old Ragusa. I prefer it this way as it gives me more flexibility to park and visit other towns like Noto or Modica.

Quiet hotel with excellent staff
We were looking for a base from which to take day trips to the various attractions around the Ragusa area, as far north as Enna, east to Syracuse and west towards Gela. Villa Boscarino fitted the bill perfectly. The hotel is small but well run with the best hotel staff you could wish for. Our every request was met and more. There was a willingness to make sure our stay was as good as possible - and all with smiles! The hotel is situated in a very quiet area, although shops and restaurants are a short walk away. The walk to Ragusa lower is a lengthy one and the steepness of the streets is tiring but there are plenty of things to see in Ragusa upper. Our room had a patio which was useful as the rooms are quite small (although very well equipped with everything including a very comfortable king size bed). There are no public rooms in the hotel, other than the breakfast area. We had a breakfast rate and were glad we did as it suited us very well and as normal in Italy nothing hot, except coffee! This is not a family hotel but for couples seeking a comfortable and friendly base to explore Ragusa and surrounds this is a perfect place to stay.

Lovely Lovely Lovely
We had a superb 10 day stay ...the villa has been renovated beautifully and makes a wonderful boutique hotel...it's great to walk two blocks onto corsa Italia and down into Ibla....which is a fantastic experience ( Ibla is the touristy bit) about 15 mins walk down and 10 euro taxi back up but there's some quirky shops in this area too and we ate in a couple of places 10 minutes away that were so good and reasonable ....crescente and p-plus....very enjoyable local places. The hotel is situated in a part of town where locals live but it is very quiet and safe to walk at night....and everyone is so helpful ....there's a great stone oven pizza takeaway at the end of the street by the hotel...had a giggle in there while ordering and sat in the wonderful gardens at the back of the hotel with a giant pizza for 5 euros We had a hire car and it was easy to park at the hotel and use as a centre to explore all the major baroque towns in the south east...we used the bus station a few times too...about a 10 minute stroll and easy to catch a bus to Modica so we could have wine with our meal. The hotel staff are the best though....the fantastic five....they were all so attentive,charming,knowledgable and engaging.....good at their jobs. Alex,Enrico,Stefi,Cristina and Josie a big thank you to all of you for making our stay a happy one.

Warm welcome in memorable building
Villa Boscarino is special. It is a lovingly restored old building, yet with a contemporary edge in its design. The staff stand out, and the rooms are comfortable, and tranquil. Our breakfast each day was a feast of local meats, cheeses and fruits. Upon first sight the location of Villa Boscarino is a little bit of surprise as it is situated in a new residential area of the historic baroque town of Ragusa. However we stayed two nights and felt we got the best out of the area. The first night we walked through the new town, and down 300 steps into the historic old town of Ragusa which is beautiful, and with a good choice of restaurants. We took a taxi back to the hotel for a tenner. You can also drive and park in the old town for free. On the second night we explored eating options close by the hotel. We discovered a wonderful local bistro with all organic seasonal dishes, and a great venue with live music. Here we mingled with locals rather than other tourists. Its useful to know that there are local places to eat if you arrive late at Villa Boscarino as it is a good walk (at least 30 minutes) into the historic centre. Having said that the beauty of the walk and views make it worth it! We will certainly return to Villa Boscarino. It is a special hotel, combining a personal touch with its ancient architecture and cutting edge design.

Great Hotel in Ragusa Superiore
We had a delightful three day stay at Villa Boscarino Oct. 15-18. The owner has taken what was an abandoned villa and has restored it and renovated it into a truly first class hotel. The traditional exterior belies a wonderfully finished and inventive modernly finished space inside the hotel. The breakfast area is located within a beautifully restored chapel. The rooms are sparkling and meticulously clean, with modern amenities and beautiful bathrooms. Our front desk host Alex was not only a terrific ambassador for the hotel, but he went out of his way to help us navigate Ragusa, tell us about the history of the Villa and welcome us throughout our stay as if we were friends and not hotel guests. The location of the hotel is somewhat challenging as it is situated in Ragusa Superior, about a 35 minute walk from Ibla. However, the walk to Ibla presents a fine opportunity for exploring Ragusa, and one can take a city bus from outside the garden Iblea back to the area of the hotel for 1 euro. Highly recommend it.
