Aruciméli Rural Resort

A wonderful place to stay. We were lucky enough to have the apartment with a balcony overlooking the pool. We spent most evenings there watching the sun go down and the local farmers working in their fields. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic. Franca & Georgia were welcoming, friendly and so helpful with information on places to visit & local restaurants. Taormina & Marina de Ragusa were particularly lovely and I would recommend the local Agriturismo just up the road, Prive Numero 5 in Giarratana & La Capinera. All had delicious food and lovely characters making our time there so memorable.

Arucimeli Resort is a wonderful rustic resort that is beautifully decorated, with amply stocked kitchens, comfortable, modern bathrooms, very comfortable beds and bedding. Arucimeli is a comfortable, peaceful setting with beautiful views and sunsets. The hosts, Franca and Gabriel are warm, friendly, and welcoming as was Lucia. We were a family of 12 traveling together. They made our stay comfortable and truly memorable. Lazy afternoons poolside after a day of sightseeing was restorative. We visited nearby Ragusa, Scicli, Modica, Noto, and Siracusa from Giarratana. The property has many fruit bearing trees as well as fragrant herbs throughout enhancing the relaxation and restoration. Sitting on the balcony sipping wine and watching the sunset made for unforgettable afternoons. Giarratana is a beautiful, little town with truly remarkably warm, friendly, and helpful people. The whole package was so unforgettable, we dream of returning in the very near future. From the youngest of our group, 2 two year olds to the oldest of our group, 68 and 72. This was a most memorable vacation. We all would highly recommend a stay at Arucimeli Resort.
