This hotel offers more than one would normally expect. Family run and very proud of what they have achieved they are on hand 24/7 to offer all sorts of advice and never too busy for a friendly chat. The building itself is steeped in Chiaramonte history, up to the 50s it was still a train station, luckily many of the features have been incorporated in the hotel. The food is nothing short of excellent, and I am a horrible food critic, both the breakfast and dinner had variety, freshness and quality. Lots of local dishes on the menu but again they are happy to oblige with requests. I asked for tirimasu The rooms are spacious, comfortable bed and good size shower. The pool is fabulous, well kept with a large shallow pool for children and a jacuzzi, sun beds sit on a lawn with trees and plants all round which makes such a difference from the usual tiles. it really is a very special set up. All in all ANTICA STAZIONE is definitely well worth a stay. Close to Ragusa and the old town of Chiaramonte Gulfi it is well placed surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. I have to mention Simona who actually speaks perfect English or she wont feed us tonight and she keeps trying to see what i am writing. But really she is a STAR who has endless energy as she handles every aspect of the hotel. Thank you to ALL the family for making our stay so memorable. We will be back.
