Overall Ratings & Reviews Relais Antica Badia - San Maurizio 1619

Great surprise! Wonderful hotel built on original historic architecture in the center of town. We arrived late but were greeted so well by Michel. He was very helpful as were the other staff at the front desk. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back! Oh yes, and lovely breakfast space.

Wonderful staff and excellent breakfast. Highly recommend.

The hotel is a lovely property. It’s an old building so some part of the roof is low. We had an issue with our AC but hadn’t changed room but was offered a drink and the a la carte breakfast from the hotel, they also comped our spa visit. The spa wasn’t that great the steam room never gathered enough steam to feel the effects but the sauna was working well. The local area is good, a few bars and restaurants, but please book on a weekend as we couldn’t get a place on a Saturday anywhere. You can walk to the old town but be prepared it’s extremely steep walk. The staff are super friendly and couldn’t do more to help you. Total would recommend the stay as a great stop over to see the town.

Place was clean, well located and friendly staff. The breakfast was the best we had over the 8 different properties we stayed in. Home cooked dishes which were delicious. Room was a postage stamp, but clean and during a hot summer night the AC was super powerful. Def recommend the place.

Very nice and stylish place, a mix of all the new Dry across the cathedral on the newer part of Ragusa, about 30 minute walk from the core of the old town. Really nice service, they booked us a table for dinner. Breakfast was really good, though if you like warm dishes, that were none. Definitely highly recommended. The pillows and the mattress a bit on the firm side, just FYI

The staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable and helpful; Marisa and Lucca welcomed us with lots of helpful tips and even made reservations on our behalf for dining out. The breakfast is set in a gorgeous space in this beautiful hotel; lots of delicious options. Kurt, Laura and Catalina went the extra mile to make us feel at home during breakfast. Top notch hotel!

Wonderful experience at this hotel which is in a renovated palazzo. The front desk staff were wonderful and friendly, especially Marisa who recommended the zucchini pizza at the restaurant around the block. The room was fine, very comfortable bed. The morning breakfast was laid out the grand ballroom and there were many options to choose from in the buffet. We felt very well cared for from start to finish. Our only regret was that we were just staying one night. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Good location in centre of town opposite cathedral though a bit awkward parking outside hotel whilst checking in. Friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast in ornate ballroom. Booked a deluxe room but it was a bit dated and small, quite dark with a modular plastic shower unit.

Very beautiful hotel.

The hotel is gorgeous, a palazzo right in front of St. John the Baptist. The breakfast rooms are absolutely beautiful, surpassed only by the breakfast, with several made to order items like eggs Benedict. Also the little cannoli, stuffed by the staff right before you bite into them, are to die for. All the staff, on all areas of the hotel, was incredibly helpful and attentive. Will absolutely book again on a return trip, and probably for more days than I did this time around.

Good location, staff are amazing!

Front desk staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. Great restaurant reccommdations and tips for enjoying Ragusa. Provided responsive messaging support for any queries we had shile we were out and about. Location is great, with heaps of wonderful restaurant, cafe and bar options within a few minutes flat walk. Convenient to key sights. Big thanks in particular to Luca on the front desk for his thoughtful reccommdations.

Wonderful hotel in the old historical property! The staff was very friendly and helpful

This hotel had a lot of local charm. The breakfast room was absolutely beautiful and the buffet had a lot of choices. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The immediate area had a good amount of dining options.

B&B is even better . Stay away from this hotel

It’s a decent hotel, but not fabulous.

Nice small hotel with very trendy staff.

We spent 4 nights at the Relais Antica Badia and used it as a base to explore Ragusa, Noto, Scicli, Marzamemi, Modica, and even managed to fit in a winery visit thanks to the wonderful staff at the front desk. (All day trips are highly recommended.) The room (Room 205) was amazing with a lovely balcony overlooking the Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista. The bed, bathroom, and finishings were terrific - the nicest hotel on our travels so far. Breakfast was BIG and excellent quality - too big so we wanted to save room for other meals and had coffee at Caffè Italia instead, a lovely place across the road. We had aperitivo and dinner at the adjoining restaurant, Ciano, which is not to be missed! It was the best meal we had in Sicily so far (we're serious foodies). Definitely Michelin quality inventive food where every dish Is gorgeous, packed with flavour and very inventive. Every dish is like opening a present. And how often do you leave the restaurant having made friends with the head chef, sommelier and wait staff! Awesome! Parking on site worked well for us, but there's also a lot around the corner. Honestly, this visit was a real treat and we highly recommend staying here.
