Interesting hilltop town.
Interesting hilltop town. Not too many tourists and just enough to keep us occupied for 2 nights, albeit that lots if churches were closed and only open for services. Browsing the local pottery in the shops was fun.

All sightseeing spots were close together.
All sightseeing spots were close together. Like many Sicilian towns, it would be great for this city to get a facelift. Cleanliness of the streets is not great (dog poo, rubbish bins overflow).
There is some good fine dining - ask your host.
One of the highlights of our entire Sicily trip was the visit of Villa del Castale with its numerous, very well preserved Roman mosaics. They are unique. Villa del Casale is about 40 km away from Caltagirone by car.

Ceramics galore
I had read in a travel book that one missed a lot when they didn't venture into the interior of Sicily. So, as not to fall into that group, we decided to visit Caltagirone. If you're going to Sicily be sure this on your itinerary.I wish we had, had more time to explore. Caltagirone is known for it's ceramics and this was evident everywhere. The colors, patterns and styles were beyond belief. We climbed 142 stairs up to one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. Unfortunately I can't find where I wrote down the name of it! The entire face of each step is covered in tiles, each step has a different pattern.We were told that the way to go up to these steps was, "one two, three, shop, one, two, three, shop". While there aren't nearly that many shops, if you can't find the ceramics you're looking for, you're being too picky! As is true in the southern reaches of Italy, you will hear English less and less, Caltagirone is no exception.. And yet, you will be able to communicate with the people.

It's worth a stopover on the way to Piazza Armerina to...
It's worth a stopover on the way to Piazza Armerina to see the magnificent ceramic stairs in this hilltop baroque town. We wish we had a bit more time to explore more of the sights and the ceramic shops.... And I would go back, just to stay at B&B Casa Alba!
“Excellent B&B, beautiful country side setting which offers peace and relaxation. Beautiful room, very clean with 5 star service. The breakfast is wonderful with a variety of food all made with local products or bought locally. Its a short 10 min drive from Caltagirone therefore a getaway from the busy city centre. I highly recommend this B&B.”
“The whole stay was amazing. The apartment was absolutely beautiful, fabulous location, but above all else, incredible hosts/owners. Lovely hospitality from Donatella and Giuseppe in Caltagirone. I am still dreaming about all the homemade pastries, treats, and breakfast goodies!”
“Perfect location to the number 1 attraction of Caltagirone: the famous "scala".
Very warm & friendly welcome by our hosts with drinks and fresh pastries.
Best breakfast in 12 days in Sicily!!!
Great selection of wines & craft beers.
Very large, beautifully decorated and well suited room at 5 star hotel level. ”
