“The perfect stay in a quiet, clean, attentive to detali, close to the historic city center house!”
+Absolutely the perfect place to stay in Ragusa! Spotless clean, new furniture, very functional kitchen. Amazing, comfortable, shaded terrace, usable all day. Amazing living room with separate AC and bathroom next to the terrace. Incredible attention to details - from places to put your stuff on, to hang your stuff, convenient power sockets, enough places in the bathrooms, small notices everywhere on how to use various appliances. Quiet ACs, comfortable beds with soft linnens. 3 min away from the city historic center, but quiet at night. The absolute perfect stay for a family or 2 couples. I don't think I had a better stay in 15 years. I would come back here any time!
−The parking spot is "italian shady". It's the entrance to the garage and supposedly one won't get fined since nobody reports it (they own the garage). We didn't get fined. The house has the entrance on ground level, next floor up are the two bedrooms and their respective bathrooms, and the top floor the living room, kitchen and terrace. Lovely arrangement for us but if you don't like stairs could be an issue

“Nice spacious house located on a perfect spot”
+- perfect location very close to the centre of Ibla - spacious well equipped property, we were four and had three bathrooms to choose from - parking spot - big terrace on the top, very nice - clean and tastefully decorated
−- insects. Lots of ants, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms (I killed about 50 on the kitchen counter everytime I came there, though we never left any food) and even a big cocroach. Maybe these are seasonal problems - parking - you can park at the entry to property garage, but you get no residential card and you receive a disclaimer they are not responsible if you get a fine which allegedly never happened - for driving around the narrow streets of old Ibla you need a small car and/or good skill and/or courage - this is a general remark and a need to know, but not a negative point to the house itself - you need to sign a document: rental agreement between you and the owner which in my opinion is redundant as our commercial relationship is between guest and Booking com - in never saw the host and he still owes me a receipt of the city tax payment

“Exceptional”
+Stunning location with great views and a two minute walk from the main square, restaurants and the Duomo, but nevertheless, very quiet and peaceful. Casa Alva is laid over two floors above the ground (access) floor and is both spacious and very well equipped. The decor is beautiful, with comfortable, air-conditioned bedrooms and ensuite shower rooms. We enjoyed the terrace every day, and it was great to have the washing machine. The private car parking space on the street was a major plus. We were delighted that we chose to stay in Ragusa Ibla, and Casa Alva was perfect for us.
−Nothing! It was all superb.

“Very good”
+The apartment is modern, with good amenities and everything you need. having 2 bedrooms (& en-suite bathrooms) on a separate floor would be great for people travelling as two couples or similar. The location is also v. central.
−Before our departure day, the owner rang the bell and then let himself in to make us sign a 'tourist lease agreement'. We were not happy that he did not wait for us to open the door, but let himself in. We were also not happy to be pressured to sign an agreement in Italian that we could not understand. We communicated this via google translate - but he kept repeating 'lease agreement' in italian and pointing to the signature box whilst checking his watch.

“Exceptional”
+Amazing property close to Duomo but very peaceful. Property is large and well stocked, rooftop terrace was great for breakfast and despite high temperatures could sit out all day as there is shade . Was able to park outside house at all times . Needed google translate for booking in but this wasn’t a problem
