Vampolieri I Holidays from AU$3,930

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.

We stay here every year

This room was just okay for what we paid, the laminate flooring was not in great shape. The plus was the great balcony view, staff at the reception was very helpful in arranging a beach day. Very close to the main shopping and dining area. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked well.

Fantastic hotel. Fantastic location. Extremely limited menu if you don't eat fish. Two Michelin starred restaurants. Both offered tasting menus only at a cost of 200 Euros per diner. The vegetarian menu was too many courses (you would need a large appetite). The second restaurant had nine courses and the majority were fish. The third restaurant offered a varied menu of fish with one meat dish. Hence we ate in the restaurants one night only. If you are happy with the above criteria I am sure they are excellent! But it did not work for us.

Amazing experience all the way around. The people who work at this hotel are amazing
