Loved being in one of the cottages on this property that was once a monastery. The restaurant food was excellent. The buffet breakfast was outstanding! The room was clean and comfortable.
Charming old world hotel with a wonderful restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful and plenty of parking available at the hotel. Very quiet area which was pleasant.

Staff was super helpful in getting all our luggage to our beautiful room on the top floor from the parking lot! So the limited elevator service was not a problem! The very old buildingsWe felt we like we were definitely the personal guests of the owner, who was there during our stay!
The best hotel in Sicily! It was outstanding in service—friendly and helpful. The rooms were so beautifully appointed, clean, spacious. The grounds were what made our stay peaceful and we learned a bit of history as we viewed the archeology and even visited the black pigs. Dinners there were excellent with many wine choices—all wonderful and local. Had we more time, we would have taken an olive oil or wine tasing or cooking class or even a massage. We would stay a week there next time. It’s close to Modica, Ragusa, the beach and Noto.

Spectacular former convent from 1500 with 10 year amazing restoration! Staff were best ever . Grounds contain Ancient Greek ruins . Chef was brilliant. Greatest value
This was one of our favourite stops on our tour around Sicily. After spending so much time in the cities, it was wonderful to relax in the peaceful countryside. The property itself was beautiful, full of character, and felt very authentic. There was ample parking.
The pool, set within a walled garden, was absolutely stunning, although the water was quite cold during our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and our room was very spacious. That said, the furniture and bed were a little uncomfortable. There was a spa and some excursions. But no written information anywhere. A summary of activities in our room would have been helpful.
We enjoyed walking around the grounds, although part of the path passed by a small airstrip, which wasn’t particularly scenic. Because of that, I don’t think I would choose to stay in the houses located beside it.
You have to try the almond milk absolutely delicious. We also had dinner in the dining room both evenings, and the meals were excellent.
Overall, this was a charming and beautifully decorated hotel, and we had a lovely stay.
We just wrapped up our wonderful 11-night stay at Eremo della Giubiliana near Ragusa, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
We stayed in one of the cottages, which don’t receive nearly enough attention or photos in most reviews. They were spacious, beautifully appointed, and provided the ideal private retreat for our family with a toddler. Breakfast is highly underrated—guests constantly rave about it. We enjoyed dinner at the on-site restaurant 3–4 times. The food was very good, and takeaway options made it easy for relaxed evenings on our cottage patio.
The complimentary bikes were a highlight. Riding around the historic airstrip was magical. Few reviews mention it was used during Operation Husky in WWII. Sicily’s rich history means many sites like this have only a small sign. If this were in Canada, it would be a landmark. Staying here truly felt like a blessing—peaceful, authentic, and full of soul.
The hotel staff were elite. Special mentions to waiter Mirko (I believe that’s his name) and our outstanding male housekeeper.
Although not positioned as a traditional long-stay hotel, Ragusa was an excellent central base for exploring eastern Sicily. We never drove more than a couple of hours to places like Taormina.
We couldn’t recommend Eremo della Giubiliana enough. A character-filled, serene retreat with top-tier service and genuine sense of place.

A beautiful property in a stunning picturesque setting. Full of character & charm, great breakfast & dinner available. Bathroom could do with updating and rooms feel very dark. Biggest drawback was our room which we booked for a family of 4 and were given a room right in the centre of the courtyard by the restaurant and the children’s bedroom was adjacent to the noisy kitchen. Needless to say it was very disturbing and loud and the hotel were not able to help or move us, which was a real shame and put a downer on our stay.
Wonderful rural retreat hotel, with only 15 drive to the coast and some wonderful hillside cities and towns full of historical buildings that were fascinating to see.
A former monestry, which is full of charm, peacefulness and tranquility. The breakfast was something to look forward to every morning. The staff very polite and helpful.
We will certainly be returning !
We loved this rural historic hotel and its tranquility. The staff were very helpful friendly; thank you Guiseppe. Dinner in the onsite restaurant was excellent. We also booked a half day e-bike tour through the hotel, which was the highlight of our trip to Sicily.
This place is magical because of the beautiful, Sicilian, relaxing setting. Natural beauty of the countryside and the resort/villa.
Great food, excellent staff.
I stayed for a week in May 2026.
We had a very unique and enjoyable experience at Hotel Eremo Della Giubliana. We were warmly greeted upon our arrival and our check in went very efficiently. We were provided a tour of the property and a brief history of the hotel. Our room was spacious and bed was quite comfortable. Amenities at the hotel are as shown on their website. We enjoyed an incredible dinner at the restaurant inside the hotel and all the food was homemade and cultivated on the property. Fantastic quality! Ample breakfast buffet as well. If you are looking for a unique experience outside the city of Ragusa this is your place. Mille Grazie to the kind staff at Hotel Eremo Della Giubliana! We look forward to coming back.
This hotel is set in the countryside and is beautifully coverted series of farmhouses. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers with a garden begind, perfect for lunch. I also had dinner in the courtyard adn breakfast in the hall, both great settings. The staff were very friendky, the food was excellent.
Our stay was amazing. The staff were exceptional, very attentive and so friendly.
We enjoyed several meals at the hotel as well as a local wine tasting. When we travelled into Ragusa for dinner they arranged a taxi for us.
Special details; lovely welcome drinks, adorable animals (the owners dog Max was a delightful surprise) and the staff were extremely patient with me practising my Italian.
Could not recommend more - the incredible value was a delightful perk but frankly we would have happily paid more for such a great time.
Hotel Eremo is a former monastery. You are greeted immediately by name by the friendly staff. The property is serene, dining is available outside in a courtyard, at the pool, in your room. There is an amazing breakfast buffet.
There is a spa or cooking classes by the chef which need to be reserved in advance.
It is necessary to have a car to visit the beach or surrounding towns. We also drove to the oldest winery in Sicily for a tour, tasting, and lunch.
Stedet er utrolig vakkert og svært rolig. Her kan man virkelig slappe av og nyte livet og estetikken. Personalet er hyggelig, parkering er enkelt og gratis og alt er rent og flott.
