Location and view

Stayed in February 2025

For the price, facilities to make tea or coffee would be welcome.

Absolutely beautiful B&B, central, beautiful views, very clean and comfortable. Hosts were also super friendly. We hope to meet you again.

It would be great to have a bottle of water in the room and even better to have a small fridge for access to drinks.

The location was very central and it was interesting to stay inside such an old building. Fabrizio was very informative about local events and provided a great breakfast. The views were amazing from the attic position.

We weren’t aware there were 90 steps to negotiate to get to Attica.. many may find that a challenge. For a high spec place there were things that would be improvements, like access to facilities to make a drink and somewhere to hang towels to dry. There was no water/ glasses left in the rooms and beware the jacuzzi is not heated.

It has been restored beautifully by the owner, it is spacious and very tastefully done. The views are wonderful and for the centre of town , very peaceful. Caltagirone was a delight and the owner was rightly passionate about his lovely town.

Not a complaint, but you have to be prepared to climb stairs to get up to the B&B. Beware of difficult parking if you arrive by car. I advise you to take the first opportunity available within 150m before the B&B (It's all downhill from there) At the weekends, there can be a bit of musical noise from the backyard (not super loud). Uually ends by midnight.

Fantastic gem in Caltagirone. Beautiful rooms designed by the very friendly host Fabrizio. Having breakfast on the rooftop terrace is just such a perfect way to start a day.

Slightly hard to find the B&B but once we did it was stunning

Great location overlooking the town, very nicely decorated and Fabrizio was really helpful!

AC did not work so it was quite warm at night. Shower drain needed cleaning. We did not contact the owner at the time because we got back from dinner quite late at night. He was apologetic when we told him the next morning. Access to the apt seemed sketchy at first (building seemed abandoned ) but was actually fine.

Beautifully done bedroom+bath in a very old building, within the owner’s apartment. He was gracious, friendly and very helpful with suggestions, and went out early in the a.m. to bring back delicious pastries, local jams, seasonal fruit and great coffee. He is very passionate about Catalgirone which was great.

As a shared facility, use of the (otherwise lovely) kitchen was discouraged. We may have snuck a home-cooked meal and scoured away all evidence.

Aside from its excellent location, Attico Taranto offers a modern, comfortable refuge within one of Caltagirone’s older residential buildings. Fabrizio was a supremely generous, insightful host. His tireless pursuit of gluten free croissants (his breakfasts were delicious) was greatly appreciated; as was his deep, personal knowledge of local ceramics and design.

The house is absolutely stunning. It is renovated and decorated with lots of love for detail and tradition. Fabrizio is an amazing host who explained us all about Caltagirone and the Sicilian traditions. He made our stay very special by giving us recommendations about ceramic shops, restaurants and bars and by preparing us an excellent breakfast. Overall, we can highly recommend the b&b and the host!

Many stairs, shower door doesn't prevent water from escaping.

Location, cleanliness, view, size of room.

Stayed in May 2024

the apartments are on the top floor and there is no elevator.

The location is perfect. The town is wonderful. The host was extremely knowledgeable in the art of ceramics and gave us very helpful directions to tour the manufactures

Having to climb to the top floor of the building was not ideal.

Breakfast very good. Location excellent. Nice rooms and common areas.

Nothing to dislike - just be aware there are 3 flights of stairs to your room (be prepared to carry your bags up yourself) , and my advice if driving is to take the first street park you find once you are on the accommodation street...it's unlikely you will find a spare spot right outside, though possible if you are lucky and good at tight parking.

The room I stayed in was beautifully appointed, with thoughtful nods to the local history. This style extended into the dining and sitting areas, and the view from the terrace (complete its own jjacuzzi) is worth the stair climb. I met the lovely owner as I checked out, and he kindly gave me more local information over an espresso and impromptu breakfast - grazie mille 🙏💗👌 The location in the heart of Catalgirone right next to the tiled staircase is hard to beat.

Nothing to dislike.

A great location, property and host. We couldn’t be happier.

Could do with more comfortable sitting options inside the room.

Beautiful tasteful decor, bed very comfortable and a view from the terrace to die for. Host the most friendly and welcoming.

This is an incredible place not to miss. Fabrizio, as an architect, has done an amazing work renovating and refurbishing the last floor of the Palazzo. Rooms are beautiful and spacious as well as the common areas, mixing traditional craft with contemporary art. If you rent the two bedrooms, you will be alone to enjoy also the great jacuzzi on the terrace (and the whole apartment which is huge). The view over the city and the nearby duomo is also amazing. Fabrizio speaks mostly Italian and if you do you will get the most of the experience as he knows a lot about the history and the contemporary situation of Caltagirone and, more broadly, cultural expertises throughout Sicily.

I loved the apartment and the beautiful terrace. I was with my boyfriend and we felt at home. The atmosphere was perfect and the center location of the apartment. Fabrizio was a wonderful host who made our stay easy and comfortable. He helped us with his recommendations and support our requests. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable stay :)
