Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa

Scene

Stylish, peaceful golf resort

Donnafugata Golf Resort and Spa is a modern and stylish property with a touch of traditional charm. The lobby is an inviting space with plum velvet couches, high ceilings, and chandeliers hanging from rustic wood-beamed ceilings. The atmosphere is peaceful and focused on relaxation, from the on-site restaurants, to the outdoor pool, to the serene spa.

Location

In a quiet area within driving distance of beaches and cities

The resort is surrounded by golf courses and sits tucked away in a quiet area that’s a short drive or taxi ride away from good local restaurants. The hotel runs a free shuttle to two beaches, which are a 10- and 20-minute drive away. It’s about 30 minutes from the historic center of Ragusa to the hotel, and about an hour and a half drive from Catania Fontanarossa Airport. It’s also within easy driving distance of lovely villages such as Modica and Scicli, which are both 40 minutes away, and Noto, which is an hour and 20 minutes away.
