Reviews of B&B Attico Taranto

The central location and view from roof top were definitely a bonus . The hosts , Mum,Dad and son are all involved in making your stay comfortable. The apartments are beautifully restored.

No complaint about the property . It’s just like most Italian cities the parking can be a hassle but once Angela directed us to a parking area, stress was over !!

What an amazing property. Beautifully restored, every detail thought of. fabulous terrace with superb views & and hot tub. The bed was very comfortable & the breakfast was given to us by one off Fabios delightful sons was perfect.

It’s quite a climb up… so just be aware if you have large bags or are frail or infirm. Fabios son helped us up with our bags… and the stairs didn’t bother us.

Location and view

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Shower drain did not flush properly. A/C was not on and controlled by rental owner who was not readily available. No private or public coffee machine. If this is labeled as a B&B one would minimally expect an onsite service; thats what B&B's do best.

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.

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.

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!

Location, cleanliness, view, size of room.

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

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

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

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

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

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 - 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.

Breakfast was excellent and staff very friendly!

The Host was amazing, super friendly, caring, helpful. The property is well located, beautiful views, super clean, amazingly decorated 5*
