Madre

This year, for the second time, we visited this beautiful place close to Ragusa. This B&B is the great pride of Filippo, Marta, and their daughter Nina. Wonderfully situated in the midst of nature on top of a plateau with a beautiful and expansive view of the Mediterranean coastline. We always feel very welcome here, partly due to the personal approach of the owners. A delightful breakfast made from local products, not to mention Marta's homemade sweets. Also delightful is a nice glass of wine by the beautiful infinity pool, accompanied by a platter of delicious treats like local cheese and finely sliced cured meats. Everything is small in scale, ensuring optimal tranquility and delightful enjoyment. The rooms are modern and comfortable. A good bed, a practical bathroom, and everything incredibly clean. Most rooms also have a private sitting area at the front of the building. For enthusiasts, there is also a lovely spa area where you can use the sauna and jacuzzi. Filippo and Marta always have useful tips on things to do in the area. In the nearby vicinity, there are beautiful Baroque cities to visit. We are big fans of Scicli, a village a 15-minute drive from Madre. Delicious dining there in the evening on the terrace, with nice wines; it's magically beautiful. Ragusa is also worth a visit, although somewhat more touristy. During the day, we liked to spend time at one of the lovely beaches near Madre. Again, plenty of great tips from Filippo and Marta.

This is an agritourism place. Filippo and Marta, the owners, were so wonderful and helpful. Such an interesting place with modern facilities and beautiful landscaping. The breakfast is all homemade even the jams which they made from the fruit trees on their property! Filippo was so kind in discussing our itinerary for the few days giving us very helpful tips on visiting Ragusa, Modica and Scicli - small villages close to their place. I highly recommend staying here. They have such a beautiful place from our room and bathroom to the patio (enclosed when bad weather) where we ate breakfast. Oh and delicious cappuccino as well! Yes we had two each morning:)
