One of Italy’s most talked-about new destinations, Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa, offers the perfect place to enjoy a memorable stay in Sicily and the deluxe venue has created an impressive new guide to help guests make the most of their visit in 2015.
Situated in the cultural heart of the Mediterranean’s largest island in the province of Ragusa, Donnafugata is the ideal base for a relaxing five-star holiday and the Resort’s ‘101 Wonders to Discover’ guide gives visitors an invaluable insight into the region’s ancient history and many different cultures and traditions, while also highlighting its fantastic all-year-round climate.
From jaw-dropping art and ancient history to spectacular nature reserves and mouth-watering cuisine, Ragusa has it all and Donnafugata serves it up to guests on a plate, as well as offering two 18-hole championship golf courses, an award-winning spa and an array of other five-star facilities.
Located just 15 minutes from Comiso airport and set in the beautiful area of Donnafugata, a natural reserve and famous tourist destination known for the imposing castle which bears the same name, the Resort boasts a number of fantastic historical cities to explore nearby. These include Val di Noto, the heart of Sicilian baroque; Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Siracuse, Noto and Scicli. All are deemed fitting of UNESCO World Heritage status.

Ragusa is renowned for its traditions and folklore customs, holding many annual religious ceremonies and festivals including jazz and film, while lovers of the outdoors can indulge in a range of pursuits including fishing, sky diving, hot-air ballooning or exploring the area on and around Europe’s most famous volcano, Mount Etna.
