Reviews of October 2023 - First part - PURA VIDA BAROCCA

Todo, cada detalle estaba perfectamente pensado y los anfitriones excepcionales

La posizione è incredibile in pieno centro a Ragusa Ibla, la stanza è carina e molto curata.

Good communication with Alessia, location and being part of old town.

La cercanía y hospitalidad de Frank, nos ha explicado todo, ha sido muy amable y un excelente anfitrión disponible en todo momento! El apartamento estaba en una zona única, patrimonio de la humanidad, una zona bellisima y tranquila.

Pura Vida is beautiful, full of character, an absolute delight and perfect in every way. Alessia has great taste in decor and her attention to detail is faultless. She was super lovely and helpful too. Can’t rate this place high enough - stay here! Oh, and the bed is the best we’ve slept on in 4 weeks of travelling.

Una piccola bomboniera nel cuore di Ragusa Ibla. Frank è stato davvero gentile e disponibile a darci consigli per il nostro soggiorno. L'appartamento ha tutti i comfort ed è gestito nel migliore dei modi. In più consiglio la colazione... Ottima e abbondante!

Gostamos do espaço, acolhimento e disponibilidade do Frank, nosso anfitrião, das sugestões, da limpeza do local, foi ótimo termos ficado lá

This place has a lovely atmosphere and despite being right in the heart of the old town of Ilba, it felt private and quiet. Everything was walkable with some stunning sights day and night. Alessia was incredibly helpful and friendly, guiding me up to the place (which was essential). All in all, excellent!

Très charmant logement au cœur de Raguse. Très propre. Parking gratuit possible à quelques minutes de l'appartement. Alessia est une hôte très sympathique et accueillante qui nous a donné plein de bons conseils pour visiter Raguse.

Frank’s apartment was a perfect location. He was so good about meeting us when we got lost and helping us to find the apartment. It was really close to a wonderful hotel where he was able to arrange for us to have breakfast. We had a lovely time and Frank was amazing and kind to work with us. Thank you so much!

Alessia very helpful and picked us up from station and helped with luggage up steps to her apartment. Explained on map layout of Ragusa Ibla and made suggestions to eat and things to do. Very quiet location. interesting living in stone apartment. Would recommend for comfortable stay in Ibla.

Our stay at Frank's place was short but sweet. The location is perfect! Frank also went above and beyond to help us find nearby parking, and he also gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend!

Casa molto carina, ben attrezzata con mobili moderni. Ci sono tanti ristoranti a poca distanza. Alessia ci ha persino mandato un video con la descrizione del percorso da fare per raggiungere il centro.

It was an easy walk to shops and restaurants. A quick drive to visit Ragusa Ibla. Only drawback was it’s on the third floor with no lift. Would still highly recommend.

Thanks for the friendly welcome and all the helpful tips. Your flat is beautiful, Frank was of great help with hints for Ragusa snd Café and Restaurant. We highly recommend you as hosts and would love to return soon. K, C & B

Selbst Check-In ist sehr einfach und zur jeder Zeit möglich. Wohnung ist sehr sauber und der Balkon sehr gross.

We had a lovely stay at Frank and Alessia's place. Very close to everything you need in Ragusa Ibla with convenient free parking close by. Alessia met us on arrival, helped us carry our luggage to the apartment, and provided tons of recommendations. The apartment was also very clean.

This place is amazing. From Alessia’s warm welcome and helpful instructions on what to see and how to get around Ragusa to the many thoughtful touches within the apartment. I stayed with my partner and 10yr old and it was just the right size for us. Its a short walk to the main square and all the lovely sites of Ragusa. We would definitely stay here again.

I could tell from the moment that Alessia reached out to me the day of checkin that she took great pride in managing her listing. We arranged a meeting spot, she helped us with our luggage and gave us easy instructions on how to enjoy ourselves in Ragusa. Frank even picked us up upon checkout to take our luggage to the car! The apartment is so well kept and you can tell Frank and Alessia care for it with pride - and truly love their city and want to share that joy with others. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Die Unterkunft von Alessia ist wahrlich zauberhaft. Hier wurde eine Fülle von Liebe und ästhetischem Geschmack investiert. Das entzückende Apartment verbindet geschickt Moderne mit dem prachtvollen Barockstil vergangener Epochen. Wir fühlten uns augenblicklich behaglich und geborgen. Dieser Ort erweist sich als geradezu ideal, um die bezaubernde Barockstadt Ragusa zu erkunden. Alessia zeigt sich als hervorragende Gastgeberin. Trotz unserer späten Ankunft ermöglichte sie uns ein müheloses Selbst-Check-in. Die Kommunikation mit Alessia ist schlichtweg herausragend. Ihre Antworten auf Nachrichten erfolgen stets prompt, und sie teilte grosszügig zahlreiche Empfehlungen und hilfreiche Tipps mit uns. Wenn unsere Wege uns erneut hierherführen, dann zweifellos zu Alessia zurückkehren.

Excellent cozy stay in the heart of historic Ragusa Ibla! Our host Alessia was excellent! She found us free parking, met us at the parking spot, and gave us an orientation to Ragusa. The lodgings are warm, beautiful, and inviting, and an easy stroll to the main square. Bravo!
