Caltagirone is a gem and Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo is a gem within a gem ! I have never experienced such kindness from a host as I did with Gaetano. The B&B is beautiful, authentic, classic and you are made to feel like you're visiting family. My room was fantastic - beautiful balcony overlooking the wonderful stairs, and importantly a very comfy bed, great air con and a lovely big en suite bathroom with fab shower. Gaetano being so kind to collect me and my hideously heavy luggage from the station, give me a guided tour of the town with great history on the way to the house, I had a lovely welcome with coffee and delicious home made cakes and a fresh fruit bowl made for me to take to my room - then great recommendations on what to do/see and restaurants; then the breakfasts .... served on the most beautiful terrace, with completely clear unrestricted views over the town .... the feast of food provided was incredible, generous and varied. It was just a wonderful way to start the day ! And to top it all, Gaetano so incredibly kindly took me back to the station at 5.30am ... on a Saturday. I absolutely want to return to Caltagirone one day ... and will only stay at Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo .... but next time, only with a backpack 😀. Grazie mille Gaetano - Ricorderò sempre il mio periodo a Caltagirone e mi piacerebbe tornarci, ma la prossima volta solo con uno zaino, promisso !

There was nothing to not like !

We stayed on the top floor of this B&B. It is situated about three quarters of the way up the famous Caltagirone Staircase. The host was excellent and told us some history and detailed recommendations where to visit. The room was really nice with a spectacular view of the city and countryside. Bathroom was modern and large shower. They provided fruit and water and offered us drinks and a sweet on our arrival. Room was a good size and there was a kettle provided. The breakfast was amazing - so much choice! The host was very responsive to messages.

It was a little hard to find and there is about a 6-7 minute walk from the easiest to find parking area on Via Dei Greci. It is slightly uphill on Via Isidoro and then you come out just a few steps from the accommodation.

I was not prepared for how nice this place would be. We booked both rooms on the second floor and it really felt like we had our own apartment. The rooms were cozy but well decorated and each had their own washroom and deck. The decks looked right out on the famous stairs of Caltegirone. The view to the out over the city from the room was absolutely stunning and unexpected. The breakfast each morning is extensive and the owner is the nicest man. He had a lot of stories about the city which I loved. The view from the place you have breakfast is even better than in the room. If you want a nice place to stay in Caltegirone, you can't really go wrong here.

Really the only downside is the stairs. They are beautiful to look at but going up them to the room is a lot of exercise. I know I shouldn't complain about it but it is definitely a workout.

The host was super heart-warmes and welcoming when we arrived he prepared us generous coffee with cakes, as well as an interesting introduction into this town and some amazing tips for food and drinks. The location of this apartment it’s fantastic and we basically think it offers the best view of the town and you also get a very nice renovated decorated room full of love culture in arts. Breakfast at the rooftop to raise with sunshine and multiple options was completely highlighted as well. We even got friends asking us which restaurants they could go for this kind of breakfast in Catagione.

Nothing

What a wonderful place! Gaetano and his wife have transformed his nonna’s old house into a beautiful b&b. Our room was lovely, with a balcony looking right out over Caltagirone’s famous staircase. Breakfast was generous and delicious and was served at the top of the house, with a panoramic view across the city’s rooftops and churches. The hosts are warm and welcoming, and the location is perfect (although you will arrive out of breath from the steps…).

The breakfast is located on the rooftop terrace, with a beautiful view overlooking Caltagirone. The B&B is small, cozy, and has great people. The breakfast is like a parade of delicious foods, with both sweet and savory options (and fresh-boiled eggs!). The host gave us so many tips of the town and greeted us with coffee/ tea & juices. It was such a lovely stay, and Caltagirone is just a nice pleasant place to visit.

Nothing. There are some steps to walk—perfectly designed to burn off the delicious Sicilian dessert, but they can be a bit tough for senior folks.

The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was great and at the end of breakfast, I had the opportunity to learn about Caltagirone. So much great information! The room looked down at the steps. I am really grateful I stayed at this B&B, I have a great appreciation for Caltagirone and I think it is much due to the history lesson I was able to get from staying here :-)

Very nice location in the middle of the staircase Scala Santa Maria del Monte. The host is very friendly and makes everything to keep us comfortable. He explained the city hotspots and gave us tips on good restaurants.

As it is in the middle of the staircase, you need to be in a good physical condition to climb it up and down 😊 But you can use the lateral streets where the stairs are easier to climb.

The hosts are generous and willing to help and provide information on the city's history and even guided us with his car to a place where we could park our car. The room and the house have authentic feeling and special experience. The breakfast is served on a balcony with an amazing view. The location is great, on the ceramic stairs:)

Lovely room right above the steps. Charming hosts. Great welcoming Sicilian breakfast.

We liked our stay very much. Take note that parking is on the streets around and one has to make it to the b&b. It is not far and there is no reason not to pick this lovely b&b.
