Evoca

We felt very “at home” staying at this lovely 3-room BnB. Evoca is ideally situated on a winding, narrow & peaceful street, within easy walking distance to all of Ragusa Ibla. The cliffside view from our room & from the terrace was spectacular. Our room was large, spotlessly clean, artfully furnished, bright & very comfortable. The bathroom was large & modern. Peppe & his mom were amazing hosts who did everything possible to ensure that our stay was comfortable & perfect. They are both genuinely warm, thoughtful & kind. A large breakfast buffet was included, & available a few doors down at Hotel San Giorgio (perhaps a temporary arrangement with Evoca). The coffee there was made-to-order (not automatic machine) & the staff very pleasant. If you don’t feel like climbing the famous steps (Via Scale), you can catch a small free bus outside Giardino Ibleo that’ll take you on a winding & scenic ride up to Ragusa Superiore from where you can descend the steps & enjoy the views. Peppe recommended 2 local trattorie for dinner, both of which were inexpensive & excellent. On our next visit to Ibla, we'll book Evoca for sure - - even if we have to rearrange our visit dates. Grazie di tutto Peppe ed anche grazie a tua mama! -Raffaele e Maria (11-14 Aprile, 2024).

I would characterize Ragusa and Evoca B&B as a highlight of our trip. Evoca is a beautifully restored small B&B located on a quiet street in lower Ragusa (“Ragusa Inferiore”). The rooms are spacious, bright, impeccably clean and thoughtfully appointed. The B&B itself has a delightfully inviting terrace with a wonderful view. The owner, Peppe, and his charming mother, are quintessential hosts. Each morning Peppe provided us with an amazing breakfast, which was served on the terrace. It could not have been more fun. Many thanks to Peppe and Mamma for a wonderfully memorable stay. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

Beautifully restored small B&B on a quiet street with a charming host- Giuseppe (Peppe) and his super sweet mom. Delicious breakfast buffet with some special items each day on the delightful terrace with views. The room was large, bright and with a lovely view out to the blooming redbud trees across the way. Nice bathroom with shower, sink and bidet and an electric window for ventilation. Comfortable bed and nice linens. Lots of thoughtful touches in the room - like shelves for small items, places to hang clothes, a mini fridge with (free) water, places to put luggage - and it was spotlessly clean. Peppe had great suggestions for sightseeing in the region. Parking, on the main road going into Ragusa Ibla, was easy and Peppe or his mom provided a ride to and from the B&B - very helpful not to have to carry luggage up the hill but an easy enough walk to the car without luggage. Laundry service available and reasonably priced. Fantastic communication before arrival, and during. It was hard to leave such a beautiful B&B and such a warm family.

We enjoyed 3 wonderful days with Peppe, who is as great a host as you could ever want ... and try not to miss interacting with Mama ... you'll immediately see where Peppe got his "NICE" from. And, yes, the B&B's room, location, and breakfast will satisfy you. All the prior super reviews are true.
