Balate Dimora in Centro

good, complete breakfast. We had the room on the top floor with a terace with beautiful view on Ragusa city. Friendly staff. Location in center of Ragusa old town.

Somewhat difficult to find. Parking a few hundred meters away, to which we were accompanyied by a staff member as finding on our own would not have been possible. Stairway up to room on top floor narrow and steep, difficult with bigger luggae.

It was so beautiful, perfectly located!

Nothing everything was great!

This place is amazing. Clean, bright, airy, modern, large bathrooms and comfortable rooms, with a BEAUTIFUL view. I can not stress how beautiful the view is enough, we had sunny days and rainy days and in both instances the view was amazing. The AC works well and the room had ample of space for storage. Giusy, the owner, who we didn't meet, communicated very well with us and gave us guidance on restaurants and some information about the area. Her communication is very good, and she makes very good cakes that she leaves in the kitchen for you to enjoy. Extremely welcoming. Concetta, the house carer, is an extremely nice lady and was very helpful and prepared breakfast for us. Grazzie Concetta, sei grande!! The kitchen, which is shared by the 3 rooms, is really pretty and you feel at home. Giusy leaves food for you, tea, cofee, cakes, ham, cheese, jams and spreads, bread, fruit etc which you can enjoy. Amazing

only downside. Parking, is not so close. I had the impression that it was easy to park but its not. We used San Paolo. If you are traveling with luggage you have to use a lot of stairs to go to the parking, but Ibla, is full of stairs and up hills. Having said this, I would recommend this place to every one.

This is a Boutique B & B housed in a beautifully renovated old house overlooking a stunning mountain scenery. Host Giusy personally welcomed us to the property, showed us around, and took our preferences for the freshly prepared breakfast over our days of stay. This is an exceptional touch that shows care and interest rather than just a common self check-in arrangement. The property itself is clean, well equipped, and looking brand new with quality fixtures and fittings, again a testaments to the caring nature and attention to details in handling the restoration project from the start. Well recommended, and if we are back in the area, we will definitely stay there again.

It would have given the guests great flexibility if there was a washing machine or laundry facilities.

The neighborhood was great. Everything you need very close. The owner let us a bottle of wine to welcome us. The coffee was great. Clean and nice.

We had issues with internet (it did not worked at all, but they told us it never happened before), the living room is in the same area of the kitchen (not so cosy) and just one pillow/person.

Lovely breakfast, nice staff, good bathroom/shower, very spacious room

Room did not look as nice as the pictures, no working Wi-Fi (the staff might have been able to fix this but we didn't press)

I had the pleasure of staying at Balate during my trip in Sicily. The location is perfect to discover Ragusa Ibla, It is a few minutes away from the main square. The building is completely restored in an elegant and comfortable style. From my room there was an amazing view to the downtown. The breakfast was abundant and served with local products and fresh baked cakes. Finally my stay in Balate has been pleasant and enjoyable

Very clean, with modern furniture.

The accommodation is located in the old town of Ragusa ( Ibla - the antic area ). We stayed in Foresteria room ( ground floor with an external door also ). The view is to the forest ( is not so spectacular), and around are many abandoned houses ( the way to the house is very strange and creepy at evening/night). Also, around are few airbnb/ accommodations with no guests, and the atmosphere can be cringe. In our first evening we discovered that the entire house was empty ( the owner didn’t tell us that we will be alone, just after we wrote to them and also the kitchen was a mess after previous guests). All of this happened in our honeymoon and the atmosphere wasn’t very pleasant. We tried to discuss our early leave with the owner and Giorgia, but they didn’t gave us any relevant response, just a “seen”.
