Marina vacanza

Property was ideal for relaxing on the front porch with a beautiful view of the Marina and a very short walk to the beach. Restaurants and cafes a stones through away with a delightful crowd of locals and vacationers making their way to and from at night along the beach. Simply DELIGHTFUL ! Can not wait to return again to visit family.

Cannot read what is required here.

We rented both Casa Aurora and Vespro. Both wonderful views of Marina. We also rented Vespro last year so came back as we loved it . In both apartments the spec is high but lacking decent bedroom lighting and plugs for gadgets. We would rent Vespro again but NOT Aurora due to very uncomfortable furniture in living area and unbelievable noise from road maintenance just outside, garden maintenance, and a VERY noisy bar. Last few days also noise from neighbours all together making it impossible on occasions to stay in either apartment. Disappointing but hoping not on going.

Great apartment lovely position/view nice sandy beach

Apartment was modern, spacious, clean had everything we needed, nice welcome basket of wine, cheese, fruit, salami etc. Great view lovely to sit out on the balcony for breakfast and evening drinks. Very few foreign tourists mainly Italians which was nice, restaurants are very reasonable but mainly sea food and pizza you need to book for Saturday night as the town gets very busy with locals. Good long beach with many cafes, many sites/temples and Baroc towns to see but you need a car

Beautiful views comfortable well-equipped apartment

Very clean, spacious, beautiful apartment and great setting. We took morning walks along the marina, up to the next village to the west and into town. The apartment is set up with excellent linens, kitchen equipment and comfortable furnishings. It is light and opens on to a large deck with a great view. The town has a fun selections of restaurants and great people watching. We loved our week there.

Stunning apartment which more than lived up to expectations

The apartment was fantastic, at least as good as the photos. It was comfortable, spacious and equipped to a very high standard. On arrival, we were greeted with a table full of local produce which was very welcome and fed us all for the day. The location, overlooking the harbour, was a perfect place to relax after a day on the beach or out sightseeing. There is a large deck furnished with comfortable loungers and a good size table. In the evening , when it cooled down, the glass windows still provided a great view Highly recommended .

Really exceeded expectations!

My wife and I have been traveling for over 20 years and most of our stays have been in rental apartments. We understand that there are times when you have to "roll with punches" because things just aren't perfect. Occasionally, everything is just right and that was the case with our stay in Marina di Ragusa. Guenter was fantastic to work with and very helpful. He also brought us some incredible tomatoes and strawberries! The apartment is beautifully located. There were days when we just sat on the balcony and watched the world go by. We didn't need to go anywhere, we were already there!

Stunning apartment

Just back from a week in Marina di Ragusa. We all loved the apartment. It was comfortable, furnished beautifully, had everything we needed and the views over the marina were magnificent. Communication from time of booking, through our late arrival and during our stay was fantastic. Thank you Guenter and Giorgio for helping us have an amazing holiday! We loved the tray of local food you provided - it was very kind of you. The town itself was quiet as expected at this time of year and there were only a few bars and restaurents open. Despite this it was buzzing on Sunday afternoon when it seemed like everyone for miles around had come out for a walk in the sunshine. The Stella Marina bar, which was just a few metres away was quite lively on Tuesday and Friday with the International crowd from the marina, who were all very friendly. The local people were very friendly too. My daughter really appreciated getting to play with a baby in one restaurent we were in. It was full of locals and the baby was brought to visit everyone, while her mum got to eat in peace. People were all highly amused by the mad British wearing shorts and t-shirts, while they were all wrapped up in jumpers, coats, hats and scarves! One old lady stopped me in the street to insist the teenagers should have coats on. It was 15 -17°C and we all had caught the sun on the sheltered balcony. Not sure how they would cope with cold and windy UK. We found plenty to do in the surrounding area, Ragusa and Scicli were beautiful and for Inspectore Montalbano fans it was easy to find all the film locations. I had not heard of it until after I had booked the holiday but would recommend watching a few episodes to see how beautiful the area is and of course bore the rest of the family who didn't get around to watching any. We also enjoyed the Archiological park in Syracusa and the sandwich shop Caseificio Borderi in Ortigia market is not to be missed but it is a slow drive so make a day of it. All in all it was a fantastic winter break. We had good weather and stayed in a fabulous location without the crowds.

A top quality apartment in a stunning location

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Aurora in Marina di Ragusa. The apartment is furnished to a high specification, and includes everything that you might need, including air conditioning in every room for when the temperature rises (it was 34 degrees when we left at the end of July). Everything was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the showers were spacious and suitably powerful. The outstanding feature of the apartment is its wonderful balcony which provides panoramic views of the marina. We spent many a happy hour sitting on the balcony reading, eating or watching the world go by. The balcony overlooks a square which can get quite busy at night but this in no way detracted from our experience. The evening is the busiest time of the day, with families promenading along the seafront and teenagers riding around on mopeds, and its fun to have a ring-side seat to witness Marina di Ragusa at night. The location really could not be better when it comes to views, access to the beach and restaurants, plus there is a bakery and various supermarkets within reasonably easy walking distance (15 minutes), although when it gets hot any distance seems too far. There is a bike hire shop below the apartment so if you want to go further afield you can rent a bike for €15 for the day. There are cycle routes along the sea front in both directions. Guenter was a very welcoming and thoughtful host. On first arriving at the apartment at 10.15pm it was a lovely surprise to find that he had provided us with some complementary local produce and a nice bottle of prosecco, so that we didn't have to worry about finding a shop on our first night. We would heartily recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a relaxing and comfortable holiday by the coast.

Fantastic spacious, tasteful apartment

The apartment is beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. Everything is of the highest quality from the comfortable beds to the coffee machine. We were delighted with the welcome box of oranges apricots etc all grown locally. The host was charming and helpful in giving local information about where to eat, shop and visit. Although a map detailing this information would be good. The views towards the harbour are exquisite and the apartment is a step away from good bars, restaurants and sandy beaches. We enjoyed sipping wine on the balcony and we hired bikes from the shop below the property. Parking is easy in the square or street. The settlement of Marina di Rugusa itself is very much a boating/sunbathing venue but it is close to the lovely baroque towns for which the area is famous.

Super lækker lejlighed - men de gentagende strømsvigt trækker klart ned..

Vi var meget tilfredse med lejligheden- dog er der meget støj næsten hver nat. Den sidste stjerne gives ej da strømmen er meget svingende - vi oplevede strømsvigt hvilket er meget utilfredsstilllende når man gentagende gange må opgive middagen i ovnen osv.. Vi var udsat for strømsvigt ca 4 timer i træk - dette afgør at vi ikke kommer i lejligheden igen.. Og dette må ku’ gøres bedre da vore nabolejligheder havde strøm, men kun havde korte strømsvigt ..
