Aurà - Guest House Iblea in Ragusa

We are cycling around Sicily and on our way to stay at Aura’ Guest House in Ragusa Iblea, we were overtaken by a thunderstorm about 11 kilometers out. We pulled over after climbing the hill from Comiso in the downpour. Not knowing what was ahead on the road or when the storm would abate, we called Giuseppe, our Aura Guest House host. After establishing where we were he first tried to get us a Taxi, no luck. So what he did next totally blew us away, he rented a Van that would fit our bicycles, with our approval and personally came and picked us up! The hospitality, we learned was only beginning. After our arrival and check in he attended to our every need! From dining recommendations to reservations and a tailored breakfast made this a most amazing stay. But we can’t stop yet because the furnishings at Aura Guest House are also top notch. Aura is very well located with just a short walk to the main streets of the charming Baroque town that is Ragusa Iblea.

The staff was excellent, I would refer them highly to family and friends

The property is in pristine condition. The location is close to a parking lot which is very easy to access. The owner is super helpful with a deep knowledge of the area. The area immediately around the property is beautiful and historic.

Giuzeppe is an amazing host. And the property is impeccable. Clean, well decorated and comfortable . The host is very knowledgeable and assisted us with our tours and he also took us to the bus station. Breakfast was good. Pre orderd from the night before and cooked infront of you. Would go back for sure.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aura Ibla, Ragusa, for one month. Aura Ibla exceeded my expectations and made my stay one to remember. Giuseppe is a wonderful host, attentive and professional, ensuring that everything is perfect. Breakfast was a very generous offering of wonderful local delights, both sweet and salty, perfectly cooked eggs and fresh fruit. Think fresh ricotta cannoli, local sausages and cheese. Giuseppe catered for my gluten free diet by visiting a gluten free bakery every morning so I could enjoy a gluten free ricotta croissant. My room, Giardino Ibleo, was tastefully decorated with great lighting, and was very comfortable. Super comfortable mattress and pillows, daily room service and a nice terrace. Extra touches like nice toiletries and a heated towel rail were appreciated, especially during winter. If that wasn’t enough, the whole property is immaculately clean and tidy, and the location is perfect. Just around the corner from some of my favourite place in Ragusa Ibla, Giardino Ibleo, Café Ibla and the best Pasticceria in the world, Iudice. I highly recommend Aura Ibla and will be staying there again.

What a perfect place to stay. Great location, located steps from a free public parking lot. Good communication with Giuseppe prior to arrival to meet us there when we arrived. There are 3 rooms and a breakfast space. Giuseppe lives off site. The property has been renovated with high end finishes, tastefully done. We had a king size bed and a balcony with 2 chairs overlooking the street and school yard. Giuseppe has thought of every detail - even having clothes pegs so we could hang out laundry on the balcony (which we had washed in the sink). You can walk to countless restaurants and points of interest. There also is a bus stop just outside if you want to ride it to the other part of Ragusa. The room was very quiet. You order your breakfast the night before and Giuseppe has it ready for you the next day. Modern finishings, great location, free parking nearby, quiet, breakfast included - why look any further? The photos you see online accurately reflect the property.

Charming, cozy and well located B&B
Giusseppe was extremely kind, gave us a lot of recommendations. The overall service was excellent, we could choose the type of breakfast and the room was very well equipped. Congratulations!!

This is such a lovely, quiet and convenient spot. Perfectly located just on the edge of the old town, so it is easy to access by car and to park for free and only a very short walk from the old town sites, restaurants and bars. Delightful little park right next door. Exceptionally clean, large, modern room with a big, very comfy bed, couch, lovely little balcony with table and chairs, and large bathroom with modern shower. All kept so clean and well prepaired as if finished yesterday. Our wonderful, friendly host Guiseppe makes your breakfast to order. You'll never forget the fresh warm ricotta and bread rolls, soft boiled eggs and plate of fresh salamis and local cheeses that is on offer. A real find - such very good value too - and highly recommended to anyone spending two or three days or longer in Ragusa, which is not only a perfect baroque town in itself but is beautifully placed to explore far and wide in this special region.

I am trying to describe in my best words how much we loved Aura guest house: 1. 100% clean 2. the best breakfast in the entire Sicilia, with local products (amazing!) 3. it's number 3, but it's actually the most important: Giuseppe is a wonderful host, he is so considerate and assertive to your needs. 4. the most comfortable bed 5. location!! and the list could continue. Ragusa is amazingly beautiful and choosing this accommodation made it perfect 🤩
