Set amid olive-sprinkled hillsides lined with stone walls, this converted 19th-century farmstead sits halfway between Ragusa and the coast (a 15-minute drive from each). Its charm lies in the tranquil cluster of independent stone-walled cottages, each with its own little patio; two rooms in the main house are less appealing. Dinner is available on request.
