a.d. 1768 Boutique Hotel

This is a wonderful find, in a bewitching hilltop town. Our room was beautiful, with high ceilings and an amazingly comfortable bed. The hotel is clearly the pride and joy of the owner - and it's a lovely place to stay. Very quiet and yet right in the middle of the old town. My only possible room for improvement, given that the hotel referred to caring for the environment, would be to ditch the awfully un-environmentally friendly single use plastic water bottles and instead provide glass jars in the room with charcoal filters? For the price, this is a fantastic value for money option and I'd highly recommend.

A.D. 1768 is a truly exceptional stay where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The furniture, art, and décor are beautifully designed and meticulously perfected, creating an elegant and inviting atmosphere. The property is impeccably maintained, reflecting the care put into every aspect. Breakfast offers an impressive selection, and the warm, attentive team ensures you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. A flawless experience in every way.

Very good value for money. The hotell has the best location in Ragusa right in the center square. Room were large with nice design and having good shower products. Breakfast was al la carte and of high quality and very nicely presented. For the nightly rate it is a find.

This is a magical place. There is so much attention to detail but it isn’t fussy. The building is beautiful, the rooms are immaculate and well thought out. This place is so special in part because of the modern art sprinkled throughout the hotel. The included breakfast was considered, delicious, made in house and full of love; truly like a fine dining breakfast service full of heart. The staff are open and friendly with lots of good recommendations for within Ragusa and around Sicily. The owner is the rare breed of passion and heart and shrewd vision. If you want a place to stay that is both comfortable, elevating and inspiring this is the place for you. Also, our room, Donna Teresa, opens right onto the piazza with a view of the duomo and sits adjacent to the hotel’s private living room, an airy sophisticated place to read, play cards or finish the night.

Quintessential boutique hotel experience. Unbeatable location right off Piazza Duomo. The design is a whimsical interplay of classic architectural and design elements ,modern minimalism, and “pop” art which is done perfectly. Beautiful public spaces. Absolutely spotless. Deliciously restrained breakfast. Very personable staff eager to help you explore Ragusa and the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE treasures of the region. This hotel is the perfect base for your explorations. Slightly difficult to reach by car. Public parking is near by.

We had booked a suite at this hotel in Ragusa. We booked what we thought to be one of the best suits in the establishment. When we check in, first surprise is that we are asked to settle the room at check in before being shown into the room. Second surprise was that we are taken outside the hotel to a door around the corner on the main street, next to a bar with entry among tables and chairs of the bar. Shockingly this door was the acces to a single room on ground floor with door and windows exposed to customers of the terrace of the bar After sourly complaining we faced a total lack of response with defensive statements that the room description said 'ground floor'. And that the title of the room was 'annex suite' We paid 270 EU for one night on a street room with door from a bar terrace. We attempted to find another hotel late in the evening with no succcess There was not a single attempt to sympathise let along take responsibility to a blatant misleading info at booking. It utterly spoiled our stay in wonderful Ragusa. We are pursuing a formal complain with Booking Avoid at all cists
