Caltagirone Hotel Guide - Santa Maria of Monte Staircase hotels in Caltagirone, Italy.

"Breakfast was outstanding. fabulous croissants, hard boiled eggs, cappuccino, selection of fresh fruit, yogurt and cereals. The 3 large breakfast tables were beautifully set and the serving area was flooded with morning light with an expansive view towards to the north of the cathedral and Piazza Armerina."

"A really charmy place to stay, great communication with the host. I can recommend it."

"Amenities were small due to off season "

"Excellent location and modern property"

"Absolutely lovely and comfortable home just out of town. A 200 year old villa fully restored on property that includes gardens. The owner was very gracious and efficient and the breakfast was amazing. It takes about 7 minutes to go to the town center in car. Note that the road to town and to the house are tight so go slow and drive carefully."

"The room was very clean and updated. This property would be great in the summer. There was a bus tour in the main hotel so we stayed in the nice outer building. Quiet but took a long time to get hot water"

"A delightful stay in Vittoria wine country. Relaxing, great food, friendly staff. The room was wonderful. They provided fresh drinking water every day and some fresh fruit in the room. I thought that was a nice touch. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evening with one of their fabulous aperitivo cocktails and watching the cats play. The dinner was a fixed menu. It was more food than I needed, but it was all delicious. We opted to have dinner there both nights of our stay. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. So many delicious things to try - pastries, salads, cheeses, charcuteries, fruits. The location is a nice jumping off point for exploring the small towns in the area and tasting wine of the region."

"Lo Zafferaneto is an amazingly beautiful property with carefully decorated and furnished rooms (everything is spotlessly clean). All staff are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome and at home immediately. If you are a foodie you are in the right place! The owner is an absolutely fantastic chef (I highly recommend the boar ragu and deconstructed tiramisu). Breakfast is also very delicious. The place is quite remote in the mountains, it’s quiet and peaceful, but you will definitely need to have a car to get around. "

"A great place with excellent facilities and lovely food and wine"
