Giarratana Vacation Rentals

"The host was not very friendly. He was in a bad mood today, yelling at his guest. "

"Very beautiful hotel. "

"Beautiful property. Well managed. In excellent condition. Will return again!"

"We had a lovely two night stay here. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. We planned to take a train to Ragusa and they took us to the train. Unfortunately the train wasn’t running(beware trains in Silicy!). Salvo came back and got us and then they got us a car service with fifteen minutes. Incredible! Yeah to Salvo and the entire staff."

"Pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous space... unexpected private terrace in the center of the floor we stayed at, antiques and art, beautifully appointed rooms with comfortable beds and spacious showers. Diana was endlessly patient and helpful. For us, the best feature of the hotel is the rooftop terrace where a sunset aperitivo is a must to watch the surrounding buildings glow as the sun dips. (I loved the elderflower spritz called a Hugo.) Accessibility-wise, we were met by a valet who carried in our bags. There is a standard-sized elevator on the ground floor. Self-parking was a white-knuckle affair for us, but we were rewarded with an excellent lunch & beer at a cafe directly next to the parking lot. Noto is so lovely and we had our best dining experiences here. "

"This is the most beautiful hotel we stayed in Sicily. The staff was friendly, attentive and super professional. Our room was beautiful with a nice terrace. The architects/designers did a wonderful job renovating this villa. "

"From the first moment that we arrived at the property we felt very relaxed. We were greeted with a warm welcome and couldn’t have asked for more in this modern building. Superb 180 degree views over the valley looking out to sea. Very clean room equipped with beautiful bedding, towels and bathroom toiletries. The continental breakfast consists of numerous homemade cakes and croissants as well as meats and cheese which is topped off with the coffee bar making hot drinks of any variety to order. Although we didn’t have a chance to eat in the ‘Gramole’ restaurant it does have an extensive wine list, with the opportunity to drink some excellent wines from the Chiaremonte estate by the pool. Highly recommended is a walk through the onsite Olive groves interspersed with wild flowers and poppies, time of year dependant I would assume, also lots of Carob trees to shade under. Relais Chiaramonte by car is about 20 minutes from the coast, Ragusa and the pretty town of Scicli. I would like to thank Ylenia and Gonzalo for making our stay very welcoming and special and certainly will return soon. "
