    Better to book one of the 2 upstairs rooms as the downstairs room is close to the front door and overlooks the street (traffic).

    The room is very large, with a nice bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Damiano is a perfect host, helpful and attentive. The breakfast is copious and very good. The location is perfect for visiting Ragusa Ibla and parking is easy on the street. Excellent value for money.

    One needs to pay attention to parking because there are restrictions in Ragusa Ibla. Park on the same street of the B&B in the white parking spaces.

    Damiano was a very accomodating host. He goes out of his way to serve you. The room is clean, spactious and stylish. Excellent breakfast. Locationwise it is perfect offering easy access to Ragusa Ibla attractions yet offering a quiet surronding. The view of the valley is spectacular.

    We had a wonderful experience at Ad Maiora Design Rooms, and we owe a big thank you to Damiano for making our stay so special. From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful—always making sure we had everything we needed and felt completely at home. The room itself was spotless, modern, and beautifully designed—stylish yet warm and welcoming. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the level of cleanliness was outstanding. It truly felt like a home away from home. Breakfast was another highlight. Damiano took the time to ask us about our preferences and any dietary restrictions, and tailored the breakfast accordingly. It was not only delicious but also showed his genuine care for his guests. Overall, our stay exceeded expectations. Damiano’s hospitality, the quality of the accommodation, and the personal touches made it unforgettable. Highly recommended—we’d definitely love to return!

    The B&B design is very tasty, the room is modern and comfortable, with all new facilities—much better than a regular B&B. The breakfast was plentiful, fresh, and delicious. Mario was very helpful; he even rode his motorcycle to personally guide us to the place.

    The room is in a newly renovated and in a historical building and is very spacious. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. Location was great with parking available. Breakfast was varied and delicious and more than enough to fuel you for the day. What made this accommodation a ten out of ten was our host, Damiano. He was an excellent host that meets you and explains the area . He went over and beyond of what we expect from a host.

    Don’t look any further. If this accommodation is available book it immediately. It is absolutely fabulous. It’s only a few steps away from all the attractions and restaurants. Damiano is an amazing host. He is so friendly with great recommendations on restaurants and helped us with a driving route to our next stop. Damiano is very polite and very happy to help with any queries. If I could, I would give this accommodation 20/10!!

    Very cosy room with an attentive and friendly host who will make you feel very welcome to the town, gives great advice of the local area, provides an amazing breakfast and is very communicative. The location of the stay is perfect for exploring Ragusa as well as other towns/cities in the southeast of Sicily. The parking adjacent to the stay is also a huge bonus which is very rare for this town. Highly recommended.

    This hotel, tucked away in a quiet area, is very near to the centre. It is beautifully renovated with sound proof windows and doors on a quiet street. The host was very friendly, hospitable and ensured that all of our needs were met. The place was very clean with good beddings and foam pillows. The host recommended a nearby restaurant which served delicious Italian meals and it was just a 5 minute walk! The best bit is that it was not pricey!! We went there throughout our stay; normally we like to try different places. Buffet breakfast was lovely, eggs done to our liking! I would highly recommend this hotel!

    Everything was great!

    Beautiful spacious room in the perfect location for seeing Ragusa. Parking was fairly good for being in the old city. Best of all was our host, Damiano. We had trouble with our rental car and could not get the Budget Car Rental roadside assistance to help as we were unable to get through to them after many attempts. Damiano spent a lot of time on the phone to solve the problem for us, and even went with me to have the car fixed so we could continue on our trip. Bravo and many many thanks to Damiano!

    Nothing, wish we stayed longer.

    Firstly, Communication with Damiano was fantastic from start to finish. He is warm, gracious and helpful. These rooms are located in a renovated building that has been in his family for years. It is clear he has poured his heart and soul into the renovations and the hospitality he generously extends. We were three couples and so we rented all three rooms. Each are unique, very spacious and exceedingly comfortable. They are decorated with impeccable taste, maintaining the charm of the old town and building, while providing all modern conveniences. Beds are all king size and the most comfortable we experienced in all of Italy. Bathrooms are exquisite. Breakfast was abundant. There is parking nearby on the street. The location is ideal, steps away from everything you would want to see in Ragusa. We could not have chosen a better place to spend our time while in Ragusa. Would highly recommend.
