Huw's View

The family who run Mangiabove is made up of Michele and Emilia and their two sons Ignazio and Enrico who live next door. 

It was originally built by their ancestors at the end of the 19 th century but they have transformed it into a lovely rustic-chic residence but maintained the authenticity of the original farmhouse in keeping with the surrounding countryside and a balance between old and new. They are incredibly passionate about their guest house and the local area providing guests with memorable holiday.

It is ideally situated 3km from sandy beaches of Marina di Ragusa and World Heritage historical sites and will suit both couples and families looking to relax and explore the local area. Car hire essential.
