Housed within a 19th century building, the Locanda Don Serafino Hotel provides an elegant and comfortable stay in the centre of the beautiful baroque city of Ragusa Ibla (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). This owner-managed property, run by the La Rosa family, is quite unique, with cave-like rooms including two experience junior suites and the reception and lounge area in the main hotel and modern plastered walls and décor (including standard and superior rooms and three junior suites).
