What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The restoration keeps the stone walls and high arches intact, adding just enough modern design to feel timeless.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobbled lanes lead straight to the Duomo di San Giorgio, and Palazzo La Rocca sits just down the street.
The rooms
Rooms keep their native dark pitch stone floors, and selected suites look straight out at the Duomo dome.
At the table
Breakfast tables stand on original cobblestones in the vaulted cave, serving fresh Sicilian pastries each morning.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from pietra pece, the bituminous limestone quarried around Ragusa and used across its baroque palazzi.
