We were on a tour of locations from the Inspector Montalbano TV Series. Ragusa was a southern Sicilian location we chose to visit and stay at overnight. 

Perched on a hill with deep valleys on three sides separating it from the adjacent plateau, it makes for a beautiful location which can be seen entirely from the upper town.

8.4/10 Very Good! (323 reviews)
very bad smell throughout the entire floor hallway and the rooms smelled disgusting… The staff was very friendly, and when I reported the smell, they attempted to help recognized. It was horrible, but put a little spray which you did hardly anything at all and only for a couple of minutes.

We used a car to get to Ragusa. Driving in Sicily is not for the faint hearted and the roads around Ragusa are narrow and steep.

Amazing architecture

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Although you can get about by car, I think you need to be able to walk (and especially to manage stairs easily) to get the best out of a stay here.
