Forever in love with this wonderful land La Moresca opens its doors to everyone who wants to experience the true spirit of Sicily. La Moresca is the starting point for a journey of discovery revealing Sicily's places and landscapes, facets and passions, it recounts the traditions and folklore, sings the praises of the poetry and art, and gives voice and form to old and new generations. A journey that invites you into the living Sicily, to discover, understands, and treasures the island in your heart. A journey that plays on all five senses in an almost surreal atmosphere composed of beauty and culture, bathed in clean bright light and tranquillity, permeated by the typical Sicilian contrasts that here, at La Moresca, exist, coexist, and become one. Here in this place, in the face of the unparalleled alchemy of its images, ancient artifacts, sounds, perfumes, light and colors, you cannot help but smile, enchanted, and enraptured. It is impossible not to fall in love with this place. The Leitmotiv of La Moresca is authenticity, the respect, preservation and promotion of our history and culture. The building, built in the 1926, is a splendid and original patchwork of what used to be and continues to exist, in contrast but harmoniously integrated with the forward motion of time, progress, and arrival of the modern. Divergent perspectives coexist, at times creating a seeming nonsense, but which if the truth be told, merge and mingle, leading back to just one concept, authenticity. This new and special maison de charme is the result of skilful and careful adaptation and restoration work that has taken more than two years to complete. This renovation has kept faith with the building's original concept, materials and components. Throughout the year La Moresca, offers the possibility to escape from the world and everyday life, to a unique environment notable for its warmth and serenity, which at the same time catapults you into the bosom of Baroque art, the splendor of the Iblean landscape, and the exquisite cuisine of yesteryear. Situated in the centre of Marina di Ragusa, the hotel deliberately proposes a Room & Breakfast service, in order to encourage its guests to discover the many and varied culinary delights offered by the restaurants that abound in this cheerful resort, inviting them to "lose themselves" on a journey of discovery of the wines and foods of the area

I really hate giving a less than stellar review of a hotel where the staff were welcoming and charming, but I want to be honest. It is a lovely, quiet hotel on a side street, not far from the piazza and the sea. It is easy to find by walking, but because of one-way streets and streets that don’t go through, it was not easy to navigate. We had heavy luggage, so I asked for a first floor room, as there is no elevator. The room was very tired. We love old ambience, but this room did not have quaint, antique charm. My husband said he saw nicer rooms but we did not have one. The air conditioning did not work. We were told they were going to fix it, but did not while we were there. It was good we had a strong overhead fan. The shower tiles were clean, but did not look it, as they must have been original. The building was a beautiful one, but the interior was not well decorated for the elegance of the building. The breakfast was basic and not indicative of the other four star hotels we stayed in. The pictures on the travel sites are deceiving. We have stayed in beautiful hotels in Marina di Ragusa and wanted to try this. I have no idea how it got a 4 star rating because our experience was of a 2 star. As I said, the proprietors are lovely, so was housekeeping, but they need to think about fixing it up. It was costlier than some of the nicer ones. We will choose one of the others next time.…

When we arrived everybody was nice. When we got the room, I found out the water in the sink wasn’t go down. I asked the reception girl to check and repair WHILE I WILL BE OUT. I returned after 40min, nothing was repaired. She said me stupid answers like: housekeeper was busy, I was busy but now I can go with you and help you.... Then she asked again my passport because she didn’t FIND THE BIRTHDATE, date of issue she found but birthdate didn’t find!!!!! I asked what floor would be my room she said the first. BUT WE HAD TO GO UPSTAIRS WITH BIG BAGS AND NOONE HELPED. Sooo don’t gooo there !!!!! Photo is attached

My wife and I stayed here for 10 days in the second part of September. “Maison de Charme” is a very suitable description as the hotel was exactly that, perfectly charming! From the greeting we received on our somewhat late arrival to the sad farewells on our last morning we had an absolutely delightful stay at La Moresca. The hotel itself has a lovely character and is very pleasant and comfortable. It’s best feature, however, is undoubtedly the people who work there. They work together like a family and you are immediately made to feel like a part of that family. Fabrizio, the excellent hotel manager; Rosella, Sofia and Oriana, who were all so helpful and friendly on the reception desk; Alessandro and Elisa, who prepared breakfast in the morning and aperitifs in the evening; Laura and Maria, the housekeepers who kept the hotel looking immaculate – all of these individuals made staying at La Moresca a joy. Thank you all!!…

My husband and I spent 2 beautiful weeks in Sicily in early September and we traveled to Marina di Ragusa early in our trip. We had the most beautiful few days at La Moresca. The location of this beautiful boutique hotel is perfect as it was a short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants and the town square. In addition to the location, what is truly most memorable are Fabrizio and his team. Upon meeting them, they instantly felt like family. So warm and helpful, I didn't want to leave. As for the hotel itself, it is beautiful with it's high ceilings and thoughtful pieces of Italian ceramics and we truly enjoyed the welcome wine and cheese "party" our first night as well as the breakfast where we met many others from all over the world who were staying at the hotel. Finally, my husband loved playing his guitar each night out on our private terrace. Thank you for a beautiful time in Marina di Ragusa!…

As soon as we arrived we knew we were in good hands. Sophia on reception gave us a broad smile and instantly the tiring all day journey from Gatwick vanished. This small Hotel with courtyards and flowers proved to be a perfect base. We were shown to our room on the second floor. Great firm bed, powerful shower and plenty of space to unpack properly . The only tiny criticism was that the air conditioning was not all that efficent. Breakfast exceeded our expectations and was served in one of the courtyards. Plenty of choise and everything fresh and , as with everything else at this Hotel served with a smile. The sandy beach and centre of town a 2 minute walk and within 30/40 minutes drive of the World's Heritage cities of Ragusa,Modica and Scicli

While traveling in Sicily with my family we spent a few days at La moresca maison de charme Marina di Ragusa. The resort is in a great location. Our room was clean and comfortable. It was a lovely and relaxing stay. I can’t say enough about our host Denise! She was wonderful! Her English was very good! She gave us great suggestions on traveling and places to shop and eat. She always has a smile and willing to help us. Everyone there was very friendly and I would return.

We came by sailboat from Malta to Marina di Ragusa and spent a night in this lovely charming hotel. The service was so kind and the breakfast in a small backyard very good. We highly recommend this place. Shops and Restaurants are withing walking distance. There is also a Spar supermarked at the end of the road up the hill on the right side.

What a charming little hotel, with a small number of elegant, simple rooms that echo a grand house of the past. High ceilings, a beautiful small courtyard and a relaxing breakfast area serving a good selection of goodies. But what sets this apart is the charming host, the friendly team, the attentive guidance about local places of interest and the very short walk to an excellent gently sloping sandy beach. Don't miss the promenade of the locals on a late summers evening... They provide towels and umbrellas for the beach too! One word of advice, park your car in any available spot, hand over your keys and see the car transported to a vacant spot nearby. We will hopefully be back to explore more of the local towns (Ragusa was well worth the trip!)

This hotel is lovely, nice rooms, great service, very friendly and professional owner, good breakfast. But it is definitely too expensive for what you get and mostly for the area it is in. Marina has become a mass tourism middle class place full of young people and families from Italy spending their summer there. The beaches in walking distance are crowded and not super nice, need to take the car and drive somewhere more quiet. Maybe off the main season it's a good place to go, definitely not in August. And still the price is too high then..

Dear Sir good afternoon first of all really thank for your considerations and suggestion that we’ll jealously hold for our upcoming decisions. Of course we both have to consider that you have seen Marina of Ragusa in the worst period of the year because middle of August (we call those days Ferragosto) is honestly unlivable and full of teenagers and people everywhere. However you have to agree with me and with the other Guest that even during those days, La Moresca is still a tranquil maison de charme that’s out of all that chaos. Thank you again dear Sir and we will be truly happy to have you back again with us.
