Traditional Sicilian Dammuso– Live and Work in the Heart of Ragusa Ibla.

A dammuso is a characteristic Sicilian stone dwelling, traditionally built with thick natural stone walls that naturally keep the interior cool during the warm summer months and pleasantly comfortable throughout the year. These unique buildings are an important part of Sicily's architectural heritage and are valued for their authentic atmosphere and timeless character.

The dammuso is ideal for a private home office or an artist's studio.

Imagine waking up in one of Sicily's most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage towns, enjoying your morning coffee on the front door terrace, working from home in complete tranquillity, and ending the day with an aperitivo on the Piazza, just a two-minute walk away.

"A Timpa ro Nannu" is a fully furnished apartment with own front door designed for comfortable long-term living. Located in the heart of Ragusa Ibla, only 100 metres from the magnificent Duomo di San Giorgio and the lively main square with more than 50 restaurants, cafés, wine bars and local shops, it offers the perfect balance between vibrant village life and peaceful living.

Hidden away in a quiet street, the apartment provides the calm environment many remote professionals, digital nomads, expats and creatives are looking for. The front door terrace is a true rarity in the historic centre of Ragusa Ibla—where you can work outdoors, enjoy breakfast in the sunshine, or simply unwind after a productive day.

The apartment combines authentic Sicilian charm with modern comfort while preserving its original character. It is fully equipped for long-term living and includes:

Internet connection

Air conditioning

Free parking available just down the street, with magnificent views over the surrounding valleys and rocky landscape

Frequently asked questions for this offer

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.

How can I pay?

On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
