This was our first visit to Sicily and it couldn't have been more memorable! Unfortunately, Carmen and her family were out of town during our visit so we couldn't meet her, but she made arrangements for Enza to greet us for the check-in and it worked beautifully. The apartment was much larger than we expected with a deck overlooking the ocean - beautiful. Everything was exceptionally clean with a very thoughtful basket of biscotti, olive oil, Sicilian tomato sauce, crackers, wine and beer which made the welcome even more enjoyable. Once we got our bearings (we're older so it took a little while) we realized how close we were to the main plaza with charming restaurants, a grocery store, shops, one of which is called Konza that makes the best arancini! Both varieties with ragu or cheese are unbelievable. The beach is a couple of minutes away, perfect for swimming or strolling. And a delightful surprise which really made our stay was the 10-15 minute drive to the small town of Punta Secca (Vigata in the TV show) where Detective Montalbano was filmed! Very fun for us groupies. Carmen was very responsive whenever we needed anything and helped make our stay the very best possible. Thank you Carmen for sharing your beautiful home. We loved it!
Carmen and Davide have to be the most friendly and accommodating hosts that we have ever met. They couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a great time and they were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend and definitely book again. Sicilian hospitality at its best! Paul & Michelle
David and Carmen were wonderful throughout our entire stay. Both were very accommodating and incredibly helpful. The apartment has been renovated and the view is spectacular! The terrace is wide open with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the Port. The bedrooms were spacious and accommodated my wife and children easily. Upon entering our apartment, we noticed David and Carmen had provided fresh fruit, water and snacks which were on the table. The apartment was very clean and airy! We also had a washing machine, TV, WiFi, air conditioner, iron and ironing board, full kitchen as well as a BBQ outside. There were plenty of chairs and tables on the veranda to seat us and extended family easily. The apartment met all of our needs and I would HIGHLY recommend it to all my fellow travelers! The beach is less than a 5 minute walk away and the apartment is close to the main Piazza and all the restaurants and cafes! I highly recommend going to RISTORANTE-PIZZERIA IMPERIAL! It is only a few steps away from the Piazza and the food and pizza is out of this world! Truly a wonderful family operated restaurant that oozes Sicilian culture! We will definitely rent with Carmen and David in our future trips to Marina di Ragusa! Thank you for everything! Giovanni & Heather
