This hotel building, carved into the stone, survived the 1693 earthquake and is over seven hundred years old. Josepi, on his second day at work, was an enormous help in parking my car, which was a midsize MG SUV. He went over and above what was expected. Breakfast was a joy with great staff, that would make you coffee exactly how I wanted it and kept it coming without having to ask. Sparkling wine awaited you in the cavern-like separate sitting area upon arrival after a stressful drive, before checking in. Linda and Eugenio gave us incredible service making reservations at restaurants for us and advice on visiting Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa. Linda phoned a restaurant for me when I thought that I had left my hat behind. The atmosphere of the hotel more than made up for the somewhat tight quarters of our room which could be accessed from the street, or by going up a spiral staircase cut int0 the stone behind the front desk. Service at it’s finest.

Great location. Walked to San Giorgio Duomo every night. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious. We knew there was a small shower before arriving, by far the smallest shower we have used in all of our stays all over Italy. The bed was not comfortable. It had some sort of feather or horse hair mattress topper. It was very hot to sleep on. The air conditioning did not keep the room cool at all... and we asked about it twice and we were told we were not using it correctly. We tried it on every setting imaginable to no avail.

This is an exceptional hotel in Ragusa. Parking is very difficult in Ragusa. The staff takes your car and parks is somewhere and brings it back when you leave. The hotel itself is stunning, a small, boutique property that was rebuilt after an earthquake several years ago. The steps to the second floor are stone, from the 14th century. The walls are the beautiful light stone found all around Ragusa. The room was small, but lovely. The staff is exceptional. They understand that parking is difficult, finding the hotel can be a challenge, and they do everything they can to make it easier, and your stay delightful. I can't say enough about this hotel. I loved it.

Beautiful old building, many original details like stone arches across the property. Staff was wonderful, very helpful, parked the car and carried our luggage in the room. Negatives: shower was in an arched area, impossible to shower without bending; tub didn't drain well and specs of dirt were floating in the standing water. Dust was falling from the stone arch to the point that the floor in front of the bed had sand all over in the morning. Street was noisy, we were awaken at 6-7am. At arrival we were told that breakfast was not included, and that breakfast was 30 Euro/person, more than a breakfast at a 5 stars hotel. Overall, was not as good as expected.

It was a pleasant stay at Locanda Don Serafino. The staffs were very friendly and welcoming. The room is nice equipped with everything we need. Amenities are niche and nice. Wifi is a bit slow but it works. Don’t forget to try their restaurant, it is the best I’ve ever had in Sicily.

Property location is great. Suite and Restaurant located very far from main lobby and building. However the staff was great and very helpful. Suite had a very humid smell and dehumidifier, a/c filters and exhaust vents were extremely dirty. Did expect this hotel to be a lot better.

Very good service and staff. This is very small hotel, with no real amenities. Small reception area with a sofa and a tiny breakfast room. With three groups of two and the two servers( due to covid) it was cramped. They moved us to another room which was much better but this was a separate room which felt more like an Airbandb. I paid pretty much for a basic room but was expecting more from Relais and Chateaux hotel. Moved us but I really don’t see how this constitutes being a hotel is more of a B and B. Good staff nice breakfast.

This is a beautiful little hotel, our room was like a cave. The location is good, The only think that could have been better is the breakfast had vary limited choices.

The staff of the hotel namely Martina, Daniela, Alesso and the manager, Alex, made our stay special. They are all very friendly, attentive to our needs and very accommodating to our requests. They booked 2 of the most spectacular meals we had during our stay. The restaurants are both 2 stars Michelin, Duomo and their very own Locanda don Serafino. Would highly recommend this hotel to friends. They only have 10 rooms thus, service rendered is highly personalized.

We Loved the location in Ragusa Elba (the old part of town) but driving to the hotel is a lil difficult. They will valet but the free parking lot isn't hard to find once you get directions from the first desk. We arrived in the early evening and the location is fabulous to walk all around. So much charm. The room itself was very cool with its cave-like decor. The receptionist was great in providing a map and lots of local recommendations. The room we had does not have a bathroom door but that didn't bother us at all. So it will depend on who you're traveling with. We would def stay there again.

This is a very unique and original hotel. I loved it and it's location is great. The room was very clean and very charming and has lots of nice details. Since it's built in such an old building they did what they could and did a great job but our shower was a bit uncomfortable and I could imagine that for big and tall people this hotel might not be so confortable. I personally loved it and I would definitely be happy to stay there again.

Last night in Sicily. Very comfortable stay, lovely room; maybe a little small if you were staying for a few days. Every convenience catered for. We were able to park just 20 metres down the road and were welcomed with a complimentary hot drink whilst checking in. Great old building tastefully refurbished. Stairs up from reception a little steep with big steps.
