The opulence and beauty of Italy's storied past is told within the walls of Sicily's Antica Badia Relais Hotel. Borrowing its name from the Italian phrase meaning "ancient abbey", Antica Badia pays homage to the region's history in eloquent detail, from the soaring Roman arches over entryways to the perfectly preserved 18th century ceramic flooring. Masterfully redesigned and recently reopened, historians and international jet-setters alike will find the perfect vacation destination in the richness and classic style of Antica Badia Relais Hotel. Boasting just twelve expansive rooms and suites, each space is uniquely designed and thoughtfully appointed, offering every guest a piece of history. The finest Italian textiles drape the arched windows that draw abundant natural light into the airy, spacious rooms. Simple and sophisticated in design, plush custom furnishings and elegant details like vaulted ceilings add character to the traditional beauty of each room, while an attentive, yet unobtrusive staff exceeds your every expectation with turndown service, in-room dining, and 24-hour concierge service.

We chose this hotel for our wedding, and it was the best decision we could have made. The staff's attention to detail was extraordinary, with every element of our celebration handled with precision and care, from the planning stages all the way through the big day. Nothing was missed, and nothing was left to chance. With family and friends traveling in from around the world, we had plenty of moving pieces and the occasional concern. The staff addressed every question properly and promptly, making all of our guests feel genuinely at home. Many of them are still talking about how welcoming the team was. The level of accommodation and customer service was top notch, and the overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. If you're looking for a first-class experience, whether for a wedding, a special event, or a getaway, we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. Five stars, without hesitation.

We enjoyed our three nights stay here in Ragusa. Honestly, we were surprised at how quiet it is - seems to be less touristy than the other areas of Italy that we visited. The hotel itself is across from a beautiful church and definitely visit the Cafe Italia across the street for small bites. The rooms were large, breakfast was good, front desk staff were very helpful when asked about places to visit in the area. We walked down the bottom of the street and came upon a wonderful little area on the stairs overlooking Ragusa Ibla which is not to be missed. You can place an order for food (little stuffed bites, nuts, popcorn, sliced bread, bottle of wine, other drinks) sit on the stairs. They will bring you a wine box, napkins, pillows to sit on. The best authentic experience! If you are looking for the actual name "Al Gradino 284" Coffee & Wine Bar!

Very nice hotel in a beautiful building. Our room was quite spacious and it had ceilings at least 12 feet in height. For a small hotel, the breakfast was fantastic and set up in a gorgeous room. And the entire staff was very nice.

Good location near pedestrian street and huge church. 1 minute walk to a few casual eateries on the pedestrian street. Garage parking 2 minutes away. Quirky room layout adds to the ambiance. Breakfast room [and food] made for a pleasant start to the day. Staff kind of stiff. Small showers. Laundry price ridiculous.

Wonderfully elegant hotel in Ragusa- excellent location opposite Cathedral, short walk from train and bus station and a short walk from Ragusa Ibla. Ideal location for exploring the Val di Noto. The rooms are beautiful and as promised very quiet, public spaces are exquisite. The breakfast room is stunning. Everyone working at the hotel are lovely and I do hope to meet them again one day- I really would like to return. I very much appreciate their kindness. Breakfast was amazing, there was always something new to try and coffee ws fantastic. Thank you so much! I can not recommend Relais Antica Badia San Maurizio 1619 enough. Because they were so beautiful I took photos of my two favourite rooms.
