Palazzo Degli Antoci

I chose Palazzo degli Antoci online for its style and central location. What we experienced, went far beyond our expectation. We had a beautiful, sun-filled room furnished with antique pieces from the family. The hospitality of Raffaella, her husband Giovanni, and their entire family, something that felt almost cinematic. Warm, considerate, generous, and deeply proud of their heritage, they showed us the true meaning of Sicilian hospitality. Each morning began with an elegant breakfast, beautifully presented, featuring local specialties they thoughtfully introduced to us. Shortly after arrival, my husband developed a serious infection from our travels the previous week, highly contagious and concerning. What touched us most was that the family never distanced themselves or made us feel like a burden. Instead, they cared for us with calm professionalism and genuine kindness. Raffaella called her personal doctor, who came promptly. With immediate treatment, my husband avoided a deeper infection and possible pneumonia. They also helped arrange pharmacy visits, X-rays, and even blood tests at the palazzo. And everyday they made him patient food. Due to his condition, we extended our stay. We left feeling deeply grateful, not only for the comfort of the property, but for having met people whose integrity and humanity we truly respect. It felt such a like living inside a beautiful novel warm, real, heartfelt, and set in a generation palazzo in the heart of Ragusa.

Beautiful property with incredible hosts. Our stay was incredible. Amazing, historic property, with hosts that make you feel at home and give you an authentic Sicilian experience. Breakfast was amazing with a delicious variety of local items. It was nice to be able to have amazing conversations with our gracious hosts and feel like we came away with a better understanding of the place (and people) we were visiting. Our room was impeccable, with beautiful views to wake up to. Would gladly stay again and highly recommend!

Amazing place and amazing hosts.

Really good

There are few times in life when you travel and the place you stay becomes the highlight of the trip. But that was the case with this exquisite iconic property. History, culture and personality of the island all come together in this unique place. The breakfast was a long, full table of hot and cold delights. It was not breakfast - it was a smorgasbord. Its owners share their magnificent palazzo as if we were family. Their energy and charm about Sicily, Ragusa, their family's history, photos, antiques and food, bring the country to life. It is a page out of The Leopard. We had visited a similar palazzo the night before in Ortigia. There we wandered the rooms and sipped champagne, but were mindful not to touch anything. At Palazzo Degli Antoci, we lived the experience. It was sublime. And they made sure to guide s to the most authentic places to eat. I will never forget the veal with pistachio sauce at The Taverna or the owner's father, who asked if we wanted an english menu and then proudly pronounced - I am it! If you stay only one place in Sicily, make sure you get to Ragusa and stay here. You'll regret it if you do't.
