Hotel Antico Convento • Ritiro Con Vista in Ragusa.

Perched on the hillside of Ragusa in southeastern Sicily, Hotel Antico Convento offers commanding views across the Val di Noto UNESCO heritage landscape.

The restored 18th-century convent building commands elevation that frames the Baroque architecture and rolling countryside below.

Stone terraces and period details provide an authentic Sicilian backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

Such an interesting concept! The team was so helpful and friendly. Rooms were huge with big bathroom area. Dinner in the main floor was great.
