Best Museum in Italia

J	James Smyth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The water mill museum is extremely interesting! The museum is run by the same family that used to operater the mill before it shut down in 1957. Tours are offered in multiple languages, including English.
N	Nikola Stambolic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Deserves a visit - lovely little museum, well thought out and obviously great effort put into it. The audio guide is very clever. You can also buy the freshly milled flour.
J	Juliette Radford on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This fascinating watermill was suggested to us on a stormy morning when the better known attractions of Ragusa would have been too open to the elements... We absolutely loved it! Your tour guide is a member of the family who have milled there for centuries and the whole set up is informative and appealing. So glad it rained or we would have missed out on this gem.
r	roger harrison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent look back into the history of the flour water mills that used to be along the river in grottoes in this valley. This original mill has all the remarkable original workings plus living quarters of the miller and family going back 4 generations. The lady who runs the mill is the wife of the present miller!! See the original grind stones actually grinding. There is also a small shop where you can buy the flour made and the local walnuts. A remarkable and not to be missed opportunity.
T	T Parrish on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well worth a visit. The lady (7th generation miller I think; my Italian is very poor!) is so nice and the audio in each room gives some very interesting information in a variety of languages. Amazing to think of the generations who have lived and worked from the caves behind the modern facade; right up to the 1950s
M	Mark Hrbrs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Your host is more then friendly, welcome with open arms and tells you in English about his profession in the Watermill and about his ancestors. Dates back to early 1800 and the mechanism is amazing! The lady of the house is absolute charming but understands nothing else then Italian. Before or after visiting Ispica Cave enlightens your day absolutely!
C	C. Moriggi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely great. We loved it, including the kids. They also have an extra 2 euro a great audio system that explains for each room what needs to be known. They have also a coffee and a small shop which sales local products like olive oil, cheese, etc. Rarely seen such a commitment and perfection in a family museum. Definitely and’ experience to do
A	Ashley Ward on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a cool experience. We loved the museum and the tour guide was very informative! The flour being milled smells amazing. Bought ourselves a bag of flour to take home with us.
