This is more than a B&B…a cultural and culinary paradise. The bells and nuns chorus could be heard in the morning somewhere off in the distance before the tourist start to populate the steps outside. The balcony divine but the rooftop breakfast and vista quite sublime. The owners go above and beyond in their kind and helpful service. The space itself is so tastefully decorated. Brimming with character!

Very small but vert comfortable B&B located right on the famous majolica tiled steps in Caltagirone. Views across the town to the Duomo wonderful. Breakfast grear. Host very friendly and helpful.

It was fantastic the only consideration is that it’s on the steps so carrying a bag is difficult. The host drove me with my bag very close so it wasn’t too difficult. Otherwise our host was wonderful

Caltagirone is well known for its 142 steps, the B & B is 2/3 up. The owners are very friendly and helpful about where to eat and what to do. The breakfast buffet was huge, diverse and very well presented. The breakfast patio has a very nice view of the city, church domes and the surrounding country. Parking is a real challenge, i attempted to park close to the hotel, but with anything bigger than a Smart is doesn’t work! I found free parking 6 minutes away above the hotel, lots of steps to carry the suitcase.

Excellent Difficult for anyone with reduced mobility as you need to decend many steps If this is not a problem then you are in for a treat as the view is beautiful from terrace

Thank you Guitano and Linda for the warm welcome, refreshments and pastries when we arrived. Slippers and bathrobes were an unexpected luxury. The breakfast buffet was outstanding as we enjoyed the view from the breakfast room--one of the best views in Caltigerone. The Sicilian cactus pear that you peeled and served to we Canadians was particularly thoughtful and appreciated. You have a lovely and convenient little B&B.

Amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble, very friendly with great location. Great location with a view to die for over breakfast.

Stayed for a night. Hotel well located off the giant stairway that cuts through the old town. Room was smallish but adequate with a few little welcoming touches. Breakfast next morning was tasty and served in a ice set up.

Right on the great staircase ! Our room was in a separate building, just one street up from the main B&B. This worked out great for us, given the room was pretty large - we had a baby and this room had a small living space where we could set up his crib. The window however was small - at the far end but no matter as one only spends the night in the room anyway. The staff helped us carry the luggage from and to the car, which would have been difficult otherwise, because... you have to do that through the big steps ! (Park at the top !!) The breakfast (extra 10eur/room) is a must! Beautiful view of the city, with the bells tolling from the various churches all around. A memorable stay!

Location on the steps stunning. Hard to find with a car and couldn't contact the owner by phone as suggested. Lovely room and views.

Difficult to find at top of the steps. We visited in the off season, minimal assistance from the management who appeared to wish to have the weekend off. breakfast a bit tired, withered fruit & dry cakes. New housekeeper, a recent Sri Lankan arrival very pleasant & tried to be very helpful but limited English spoken. The suite overly cluttered & very small shower & bathroom. Bed very comfortable.

We stayed in the independent unit that is on the Via Testa, a few feet off the steps of Santa Maria di Monte. It was nice and large, with sofas to relax on. On the next street down the steps was the area with the breakfast room, which had a beautiful terrace and a wonderful view. The breakfast was very nice. I had previously scoped out potential parking areas on Google maps with Streetview, so I could see what the streets actually looked like, and was able to get a space on Via Ex Matrice, since driving around a hill town is impossible (you never know what streets are passable are not). We had gone to Caltagirone to see the neighborhood and house my grandmother was born in, and I do recommend a short visit to the town (one day will do). Just be aware that many of the streets are steep, narrow staircases, so you have to be prepared for that. If you are able, try to time your visit with one of the major festivals, like San Giacomo, when the entire staircase is covered with little colored lamps that create a beautiful image. There is another holiday when it is completely covered with a flower design.

Finding the B&B is a challenge, especially with no knowledge of Italian - par for the course in Italy unless going to the Hyatt in a taxi. There is no parking for the place, just what you find near or far, guaranteed to be at least a 10m difference in elevation. (Try the end of Via di Asilio Infantil, if you can find it.) Hence beware, luggage needs to be hauled with some effort. The old house has been superbly restored, with great modern touches of interior design. It still remains a bit of a pigeon coop, though, with tiny room, bathroom and steep steps. The famous steps leading down to town or up the church are many and higher than modern building regulations would specify: a few trips either way will test one's cardio fitness. (And show why small-town Sicilians must be so fit.) The host is very congenial, speaking some English. When bookings allow, he is very relaxed about check in/out times, and helpful with information. All that stuff about the views is spot on, even from one's room, but especially from the breakfast room and its balcony. Frail, infirm or disabled people may not be up to the physical challenge of access.

Toppenläge och värdpar👍 Precis vid den vackra trappen.

Sehr charmante und reizende Eigentümer! Ausgesprochen nett! Betten hervorragend, tolles Frühstück und der Ausblick traumhaft.

Vraiment très bien Superbe accueil Juste savoir que c est difficile d accès pour les personnes ayant des difficultés à marcher.

Perfectly situated on the well-known staircase, this B&B is a great B&B with helpful staff. However, there are a lot of noise from human groups - especially young people who gather on the stairs next to a nearby bar. We experienced the noise on a Thursday until about midnight (ok) and a Friday until about 3:00 am (not quite ok). But if you don't mind a little (quite a bit) of noise, it's a perfect B&B.

Un accueil particulièrement attentionné! Très grande disponibilité de l’hôte. Bravo Petit dej, chambre parfaits Ne pas hésiter pour y séjourner

Attention ce B&B est entouré d'escaliers. Si vous êtes en voiture vous aurez peut être la chance de vous garer en haut de l'escalier de Santa Maria del Monte, ensuite il vous faudra marcher et monter où descendre plusieurs marches. Inaccessible aux personnes à mobilité restreinte,donc. Hors cette restriction, le B&B est agréable et bénéficie d'une vue magnifique. Seul bémol concernant la chambre, l'eau chaude n'est pas constante dans la douche, et comme c'est un large pommeau fixe au dessus de vous, vous ne pouvez éviter les passages trop chauds où trop froids. Nuit très calme (loin au dessus des rues animées.) Petit déjeuner en terrasse avec vue spectaculaire et toutes les explications pour apprécier Caltagirone, de la part de notre hôte.

Lokatie van het hotel is erg mooi zo dicht bij de trappen. We zaten in de junior suite welke vrij ruim is maar door de vele meubels heel klein wordt en daardoor je weinig ruimte hebt. Erg gehorig. Het was een zaterdagavond en tot diep in de nacht stonden ze buiten te praten. Het was door de zeer dunne beglazing en wanden net alsof ze naast je bed stonden. Ontbijt viel tegen. Zou er nooit meer naar terug gaan.
