It was the most beautiful accomodation I have ever been. It has a really unique feeling, I will remember for long-long time. I thought that it will be nice before my arrival based on the photos (I couldn`t wait to arrive there on our trip finally), but it was even nicer in reality.
Spacious room, very comfortable bed, high-class bathroom.

Really lovely conversion from an old property into B&B rooms. Round the corner from the old town centre but in a quieter area.

This was a lovely modern, clean room. There was plenty of room and the bathroom was a good size.....although the shower was on the small size and would benefit from having a small shelf or soap dish to put things on.
Good air-conditioning and comfortable bed. An additional chair or small sofa would have been nice. The included breakfast was very good. It was an easy walk to the centre of town.
The welcome was rushed and unfortunately information was limited due to language barrier.
There was an irritating noise at times during the night.....possibly a water pressure pump?
4.5
A great location, 2 minutes walk to the center of Ragusa Ibla. (We would basically recommend to stay overnight in Ragusa Ibla instead of Ragusa Superiore because it is a much more interesting and lively district.) Clean, spacey room. Gaia, our hostess was very friendly and prepared nice breakfasts. It was still low season so we could easily park on the street in front of the accommodation.
Soundproofing could have been better.

Wonderful property. Very clean and comfortable. Location is amazing. Very short walk to the center of town. Ample parking just across the street along the road (there were no restrictions on parking at the time of year we travelled)

Everything was wonderful! It is close to everything. The staff was attentive and helpful. There are only 3 rooms. We were able to park on the street. Breakfast was great! Highly recommend!
not the hotel’s fault but pay close attention to how to get there. Google took us into the town on narrow roads we were unable to drive through. A suggestion is to have a small seating area in the room.
5.0
The room is a part of renovated palace and is beautiful. It was spotlessly clean.
Location is superb, close to the cathedral.
Parking was easy
The host was available for all our needs.
Because of our diet, we requested some changes to the offered breakfast. The host went out of his way to accommodate our request.
Breakfast was great.

This was our 3rd stay in Ragusa Ibla after a bike tour 20 years ago and a week's holiday in spring 2018. The place we'd stayed in 2018 was closed and so we looked for an nearby alternative on booking.com. Ad Maiora wasn't the cheapest, but the price included breakfast, it looked nice and so we went for it. Even before we arrived host Damiano was very helpful: our flight from the UK was delayed, car hire at Catania was delayed ... all on New Year's Eve ... but we exchanged Whatsapp messages with Damiano and he assured us there was no problem arriving later and there wasn't. He was on hand to answer the phone when we weren't sure we could drive up Via del Mercato and he reassured us we could. The warm, cosy room was newly refurbished to a very high standard with a lovely bathroom (lots of hot water) and fast wifi. The breakfast is great - you can have cereals, fruit, juice and a choice of croissants or (as I had on 1 January) a big cannolo (see photo). Damiano was always very helpful, explaining to us e.g. that the ZTL wasn't active so we didn't always have to drive through the new town (with all the curves) as Google told us to, but could arrive directly to Ragusa Ibla from the SS115/194. He had lots of suggestions about where to go (Reserva Naturale Fiume Irminio was a good tip) but also listened to our suggestions for places he'd not been, e.g. a walk in the gorges around Noto Antica.
Everything was fine. We didn't need any changes of towels during our 5-day stay, but Damiano asked everyday if we did.

Damiano is a very attentive and helpful host. We drove into Ragusa Ibla city centre to reach the property but got lost, so Damiano drove over to meet us and we followed him to the property. We really appreciated that! Room (including bed sheets) and bathroom were very clean. Very comfortable mattress, we slept really well. Breakfast was great. Everything was fresh and non-dairy milk alternatives were available. The location is excellent and parking was easy and free. Would stay at Ad Maiora again and I highly recommend them.
It would have been nice to have some more furniture, for example a second chair or an armchair, and a small coffee table.

Damiano was a great host. He communicated with us long before our arrival, advising on ZTL access and parking, and actually helping to park a car. The large room in historic building overlooking a canyon was superb: design, super comfortable bed, modern spotless bathroom, every detail was well thought through. The breakfast was excellent. His advice on dining options during huge cultural event in Ragusa Ibla was extremely helpful, as well as information about local bus routes. The location is off the main street with all the attractions, but the center can be reached by foot in 5 min. What you're getting for the price is just incredible. It's a 5 star B&B. We wish we could stay there longer, much longer!

Our host was one of the best we had during our month in Italy. He was SO helpful and gave us some excellent recommendations. The property itself is HIGHLY recommended. A wonderful breakfast too. Close to Modica and Noto too! Easy parking for our hire car on the street. Excellent restaurants nearby
I wish that I had asked for a different pillow. Sadly, if I had, the host would have supplied me with many types to choose from and I could have slept better.

Excellent new modern B&B. Large sized room. Free mini bar, with soft drinks and water. Buffet breakfast was exceptional. One of the nicest stays in Sicily. Bed VERY comfortable, you can't go wrong staying here.
Everything was exceptional
5.0
The room was quiet, comfortable and relaxing. We couldn't hear the other guests and slept soundly. Breakfast was excellent and prepared to suit our departure time. Our host even went above and beyond in helping us by re-inflating our rental car's tyres. The accommodation is located just a short walk from the historic centre with everything within easy reach. Would stay again.
