Ragusa - Sicily - Italy
The territory of the Iblei Mountains, the most authentic Sicily
Your concierge is available to accompany you to the small surrounding villages and the larger cities in the region: discover unexpected and authentic corners or spend a day immersed in the secrets of local folklore.
Italy has an extraordinary energy that arises from the blending of history with people from all over the world (once) known. In addition to restaurants, shopping, and the surrounding nature, people are also fascinated by an area rich in culture, with museums, architecture, and art.
Cultural experiences
We recommend visiting the characteristic town of Ragusa (30 km), where art, history, culture, and tradition come together along with local shops and restaurants.
Other major noteworthy cities nearby include Vittoria (7 km), Caltagirone (39 km), Modica (44 km), and Noto (80 km).
A must-see destination is the Iblei Mountains (41 km), Noto (80 km), and the famous Mount Etna (127 km).
Outdoor experiences
The beach club Lido Azzurro da Serafino (31 km) offers exclusivity in a private paradise corner of the Sicilian coast. Simplicity, charm, and relaxation are the keywords of this beauty, with a good restaurant and hospitality.
Free access beaches are also available in the area: Marina di Ragusa (32 km) is characterized by golden sand and shallow waters, ideal for families; Punta Secca (38 km) offers golden sand and shallow water, while Lungomare Andrea Doria beach (31 km) is the largest and best-equipped, with various services and restaurants.
The Randello Nature Reserve and Randello Beach (29 km), among the most beautiful in Italy, are ideal for those seeking tranquility, an uncrowded beach, sand dunes, and crystalline waters.
Culinary experiences
The region's most award-winning restaurants include the Duomo restaurant in Ragusa (34 km) with two Michelin stars, elegant and refined; the Accursio restaurant in Modica (46 km) with one Michelin star; the Crocifisso restaurant in Noto (81 km) with two Michelin stars, a family-run restaurant, elegant, and refined.
In the same area, wine tasting is recommended at Agricola Occhipinti (3.3 km), as well as Cos Azienda Vitivinicola (9 km) and Valle dell'Acate (14 km).
Thinking of the Noto Valley without its chocolate is almost impossible. The tradition of chocolate dates back to the early 16th century and has become a true cult in southern Italy. The best place to find the finest chocolate is Modica, at the Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, Dolceria Donna Elvira, and Antica Dolceria Rizza 1935.
Shopping
Street markets in Sicily are essential for its history and are places to capture the authentic tastes of the regions. Markets are held weekly in the small villages of Scicli, Vittoria, Santa Croce, Comiso, Modica, and Chiaramonte. Everything is surrounded by vibrant colors and immersed in a unique world of sounds, songs, and culture.
Sicilian ceramics are one of the most famous crafts on the island. Its origins date back to 827 when the Arabs conquered the island. For true connoisseurs, getting lost in the streets of Caltagirone (33 km) among the dozens of ceramic artisan shops is an absolute must.
