Contrada Santa Lucia Holidays from AU$6,798

Great upgrade Wonderful place

Beautiful historical property that pictures don’t do justice! The sky bar is an incredible spot for a drink to start & end an evening. Rooms are classy & the staff was warm, welcoming & helpful! Really enjoyed my time with them in Taormina & disappointed about leaving. As well, location* was awesome. Beautifully positioned in the town

The service was next level!!! The rooms were huge and loved the whole lodge vibe!! Just wish there was beach access or at least a nicer pool! The restaurant was the best food i had in Sicily

Excelente atenciones, el hotel es bien situado en el centro de Taormina cerca de restaurantes y tiendas, el personal super amable dispuesto ayudarte en todo, lo recomiendo

We just wrapped up our wonderful 11-night stay at Eremo della Giubiliana near Ragusa, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We stayed in one of the cottages, which don’t receive nearly enough attention or photos in most reviews. They were spacious, beautifully appointed, and provided the ideal private retreat for our family with a toddler. Breakfast is highly underrated—guests constantly rave about it. We enjoyed dinner at the on-site restaurant 3–4 times. The food was very good, and takeaway options made it easy for relaxed evenings on our cottage patio. The complimentary bikes were a highlight. Riding around the historic airstrip was magical. Few reviews mention it was used during Operation Husky in WWII. Sicily’s rich history means many sites like this have only a small sign. If this were in Canada, it would be a landmark. Staying here truly felt like a blessing—peaceful, authentic, and full of soul. The hotel staff were elite. Special mentions to waiter Mirko (I believe that’s his name) and our outstanding male housekeeper. Although not positioned as a traditional long-stay hotel, Ragusa was an excellent central base for exploring eastern Sicily. We never drove more than a couple of hours to places like Taormina. We couldn’t recommend Eremo della Giubiliana enough. A character-filled, serene retreat with top-tier service and genuine sense of place.
