B&B Tarasia

Pippo was welcoming and showed me all the facilities, explaining where to find everything. He was also concerned that I was happy with the room and that I had everything I needed..

Breakfast was limited, no cereal or fruit, though I understood why, if there's no one on site to consider that.

La posizione, la pulizia, il riordino della stanza quotidiano, la possibilità di fare colazione in qualsiasi orario e l'estrema gentilezza e disponibilità del proprietario.

Pippo is an amazing host. He did so much to make me comfortable. Well located, comfy bed, good hot water, real heaters both in the room and in the bathroom - important in winter. Atmospheric room design upstairs - loved the vaults of the ceiling.

The WiFi is unstable, which is unavoidable in old buildings with very thick walls. In the breakfast room the signal is good though

The room was clean. The shared kitchen had dishes and a refrigerator. The bed was clean. The hotel is close to bus and train stations and to Ragusa Ibla.

The room was incredibly cold and damp, like a basement. There was no air conditioning. The radiator only worked from 6 PM to 11 PM and for a couple of hours in the morning. The radiator wasn't hot, just lukewarm, and wasn't hot enough to warm the room. The owner explained that Russia somehow prevented him from heating the room (I often travel to Italy and have never heard such cold and such an excuse). There was a lot of mold on the walls near the window-door. The window-door looks out onto a dark courtyard. The bed is very narrow. Breakfast consists of packaged cookies and jam. You have to make your own coffee, but no one showed you how to use the coffee machine.
