Nice bed-and-breakfast, really worth to go here. Reasons: Giuseppe and Paola are really helpfull and do their best to make your really happy. Just talk to them and they will show you the Sicily they love. The number of rooms is limited ( only 8) , most of them are "old good style decorated", some with furnitures coming from 18-... More

We were in this B&B five years ago, when the hospitality, the comfort and cleanliness of the room, and the exquisite breakfast were excellent. It is hard to believe that this could have improved, but with the opening up of a large breakfast lounge on the ground floor the B&B has acquired a boutique quality on top of all its... More

Breakfast was superb. It was served at the table and had a huge variety and selection of ham, cheeses, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, scrambled egg etc., etc. This was by far our best breakfast in Sicily. The B&B was an easy 30 minute drive from the airport, missing the Palermo traffic. Parking was relatively straightforward. We stayed twice, once at the... More

We spent our final night in this B&B after one week of travelling around Sicily staying at different mid to high-range B&B hotels and agriturismos. Our grading is based on the price compared to these. + The hosts were warm and charming persons - At least our room were in great need of renovation - Poor sound-proofing between rooms and... More

We attended Easter celebration, just 2 minutes walk from B&B, live show that showed resurrection scene. I highly recommend this place.

On arrival, we were left standing outside for a long time until someone opened the door, there seemed to be some confusion between the ladies running the place about bookings. We were shown to a very pleasant room, a double and two single beds, attractively furnished with a small balcony overlooking the street. There seemed to be an overall lack... More

Wonderful hosts, Guiseppe and Poula. Large and clean rooms, everything working as it should. But Guiseppe probably works more than he should, running around and helping with everything. He overseas parking, carries suitcases and arranges winery tours, and serves marsala before he sends us to bed. Oh, the breakfast......it is fantastic in variety and quality. We will be back!

I recently traveled to Sicily to visit family with my parents and we absolutely loved our stay in Casa Ruffino! Giuseppe and Paola are the best hosts ever and help with absolutely everything you might need. Guiseppe took us to a nearby florist when we needed flowers, and even offered to drive us to a nearby cheese shop when we... More

Just got back from a week in Sicily and had a great stay (3 nights) in Casa Ruffino. Giuseppe was a perfect host and as the other reviews have already mentionned the breakfast is incredible, I have never had anything like it. The room was very spacious and clean and the Wifi worked very well in the room itself. The... More

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in this beautiful B & B. Previous positive remarks were all accurate. Giuseppe was all the time giving ideas of where to go and do. Freshly baked items, as well as other home made items were offered during a long, tasty, and well prepared breakfast. Cleanliness is supreme. Air condition kept the room... More
