Hotel Eremo della Giubiliana

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Erema Della Giubiliana; a perfect retreat for exploring nearby Modica, Ragusa & Scicli, plus wineries and olive oil producers in the region (arranged by the helpful front desk team). The absolute highlight of our time was the cooking class with chef Antonio, coordinated and assisted by host Gianna. Two hours of learning and laughing, capped with an extraordinary lunch on the patio. Definitely one of our best experiences during three weeks in Sicily! Thank you Antonio & Gianna, we have the recipes and will work on perfecting our technique at home!

Unforgettable Sicilian Cooking Experience! Our cooking class at Eremo Della Giubiliana was truly an unforgettable experience! Chefs Antonio and Maria were fantastic. They guided us through making fresh ravioli with a meat sauce, traditional Sicilian braciole, and a special local dessert. A heartfelt thank you to Gianna as well, whose hospitality and warm welcome made us feel right at home. I cannot recommend this hotel or this cooking class enough. If you’re visiting the Ragusa area, do not miss this hotel or this class! Grazie Antonio, Maria e Gianna.

Eremo della Giubiliana was one of the most memorable places I’ve ever stayed. A peaceful, countryside retreat with a beautifully preserved medieval feel. The building had so much character, and every detail felt thoughtful and authentic. The food was incredible—fresh, local, and full of flavor. I still remember them carving a big block of chocolate right at the table. Quiet luxury at its finest.
