Guest Reviews
- Armelle (10/5): - Palazzo et oui, c'est un vrai palais, grande chambre, lit confortable, salle de bain parfaits, et un hôte adorable, qui vous aide à trouver des places de parking gratuite, ou autres. Une très bonne adresse. Rien
- Maryline (10/5): D’un autre temps… 🤩 - Le lieu est magnifique dans une vieille bâtisse au pied du célèbre « Escalier » de Caltagirone. Nous voyageons à vélo et Davide nous a organisé un endroit safe pour les laisser à l’entrée du bâtiment, le tout gratuitement! Restaurants sympathiques pour manger le soir et déjeuner le matin. Nous avons eu énormément de plaisir. Davide nous a également gentiment proposé de l’eau pour nos gourdes le matin du départ, fort appréciable sous ces latitudes. Je recommande vivement 😉
- Tonino (8/5): -
- Veronica (10/5): - Nice comfortable rooms in a stunning palazzo setting.
- Barthelemy (8/5): - Belle expérience dans un vieux palais, idéalement situé en centre ville. Accueil très sympathique et conseils appréciés pour un parking proche.
- ANGELIKI (10/5): Real palazzo in the center of Caltagirone - Staying in a real palazzo was a unique experience. Davide was very polite and gave us the feeling of being his house guests.
- Deb (8/5): Centrally located and comfortable. - It was close to everything and, even so very quiet for sleeping. Davide, the host was friendly and responded quickly to our questions. There were four different doors to get into the apartment and initially, there was no explanation of how to get in or out. But then, Davide was very quick and friendly about explaining these things when we expressed our confusion.
- Simone (10/5): - Tutto! Ma soprattutto la tranquillità del luogo e la disponibilità prioietario .Grazie ancora Davide
- Filippo (1/5): - War nicht gut Alles
- John (9/5): -
- Angelika (10/5): Übernachten im Palazzo - Wir hatten ein geräumiges Zimmer, das nicht nur in warmen Farben eingerichtet, sondern bei den für Mai ungewöhnlich kalten Außentemperaturen angenehm warm und mit einem sehr bequemen Bett ausgestattet war. Die Unterkunft liegt zentral, aber ruhig. Davide ist ein freundlicher, aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
- Guido (10/5): Rilassante - Posizione ottima Va bene così, molto discreto
- franca (9/5): -

- A.C. (10/5): Fantastisch en de tuinen waren heel mooi - De kamer was in een mooi oud gebouw met zuilen. David zeer behulpzaam. Mooie stad met veel oude gebouwen en smalle straatjes.
In het centrum en bij veel restaurants. Bereikbaar met auto ingewikkeld, eerst te voet gaan verkennen.
- Pip (8/5): Palazzo Aprile is in the best location and a reasonable price. The host Davide will help with any inquiries. It’s quite - Fabulous location and our host Davide was very helpful. The furnishings were very dated. Free bottled water would be helpful.
- Guy (10/5): - The guesthouse in a traditional family palazzo (the family itself lives there) is very well priced, and a few meters away from the famous steps and Piazza Municipio. However, what really made my stay was Davide's wonderful hospitality. He helped me find a train to Palermo, and drove me to the train station free of charge! Highly recommended.
- Maria (10/5): - La stanza era molto accogliente, il palazzo suggestivo e Davide, il nostro host, davvero squisito.
- Martin (10/5): -
- Roger (9/5): Bon rapport qualité-prix au centre de Caltagirone - Grand appartement dans un vieux palais sehr typische
Chauffage et eau chaude à volonté (journée d'hiver)
Chambre spacieuse et propre
Emplacement central
Très bon prix La salle de bain fonctionne, est propre, mais a beaucoup vécu;
Personnellement je n'aime pas les lits en fer forgé, on ne peut pas s'adosser pour lire
La porte d'entrée piétons taillée dans la porte cochère est hyper basse et commande de faire très attention à ne pas se fracasser la tête.

- Dunja (10/5): Our stay at the beautiful Palazzo Aprile was exceptionally pleasant! - We liked every single thing, starting from the warm welcome from our wonderful host Davide, then the excitement of exploring the beauty of Caltagirone to the return to a sunny, comfortable, nicely furnished room with ambiance to wish for. All in all, it was a wonderful experience that we will never forget and we really can’t wait to come back. There was nothing that we didn’t like!

- Lidia (10/5): -

La camera comoda,calda e accogliente con il letto comodissimo e assolutamente silenziosa.
Ancora grazie Davide!

Ich würde sicher wieder diese liebevolle, beeindruckende Unterkunft buchen! Nichts
- giuseppe (9/5): Bella esperienza - Bellissimo il palazzo che ospita la struttura e vicino al centro della cittadina; curato il B&B e gestori che sono attenti ad ogni esigenza. Camera spaziosa e luminosa e letto comodo: Bella esperienza. Non saprei!
- Tina (9/5): Breve intenso e spettacolare - L’aria nobile è antica
- graziella (10/5): Ritornando a Caltagirone - Era il nostro secondo soggiorno in quel antico palazzo e ci ritorneremo con piacere.

Posteggio possibile nella via ma anche poco distante sul viale Regina Elena.

- Sabine (10/5): -
- fabrizia (9/5): -
- Marino (9/5): Personale gentile e competente, informazioni precise, disponibilità - Gentilezza estrema del personale, location centrale, palazzo storico, comodità Nulla
- Philippe (10/5): Caltagirone vaut le détour et le palazzo Aprile est parfait. - Très bon emplacement, en centre-ville. La chambre est très propre et bien décoré, dans un beau palazzo. Aucun problème pour les clefs à l'arrivée. L'hôte répond rapidement si on le contacte. De plus, le logement est situé au coeur de la ville qui est magnifique, et Caltagirone est un excellent point de départ pour visiter les environs et la Villa Romana del Casale. Tous les services sont à proximité. Si je voyage une autre fois dans le centre de la Sicile, je reviendrai sans hésiter. Merci encore. Tout était très bien, je n'ai pas noté de point négatif.
- AINAUD (8/5): Excellent séjour. - Dans un vieux palais (adorable) chambre confortable. Excellent accueil de Davide. Très sympathique et donnant de bons conseils. Le côté vieillot de la décoration.
- Neda (10/5): 10+ for Palazzo Aprile - Clean room, optimal position in town, free parking near the property.
Caltagirone is a real gem, we were given advice about the town and interesting parts to be seen. Everything was fine
- Simon (10/5): - Great central location - in an historic building. Friendly / helpful hosts.
- laila (9/5): Posizione comoda in piazza vicino al bar e ha un ottimo ristorante a fianco alla scalinata - La posizione eccellente a due passi dalla piazza! Potrei fare una critica sull’ingresso e al portone trasandato e scrostato non è una bella immagine come primo impatto, anche se poi il palazzo ha il suo fascino… direi che le 2 cialde di caffe potrebbero anche essere gratis… le salviette da bagno, sono un po’ vecchie… e slavate
- Regina (10/5): - Úžasné, krásné a čisté ubytování. Velmi přátelský a milý pan majitel.
- Damiano (9/5): Struttura molto accogliente. Personalmente molto gentile, cordiale e disponibile. Perfetto per chi viaggia in moto avend -
- Silke (9/5): - Der Palazzo ist sehr beeindruckend! Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett: haben gute Tipps gegeben, unkompliziert und freundlich. Haartrockner bekommt man auf Nachfrage. Ein tolles Hotel für den Preis. Die Lage ist unschlagbar.
- alan (9/5): -
- Antonia Micallef (8/5): The part where the property is located in the Palazzo is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. - A historic building in the heart of the city, very close to the main attractions. I think different people own different parts of the Palazzo and as a result, the common parts are not well kept.
- Mim (10/5): I loved it here!! Everything about my stay felt like I was home!! - This property is magnificent. It’s steeped in architectural antiquity in its original state built in the 1500 and restored in 1690. It’s central, and beautifully kept.
The room was simple but in keeping with its historical setting. Davide was warm welcoming and truly amazing as a host. It’s was like I was welcomed home! There is a great restaurant downstairs. For me the whole stay in Caltagirone was amazing. When I return, I will only stay at Palazzo Aprile. Nothing. All was just as it should be in a historical building in the centre on the villsge.
- Ferrer garcia (7/5): - la ubicación y amabilidad las instalaciones están viejas y no tiene tanto encanto como puede parecer en las fotos
, tiene un protector en las camas que da tal calor que parece un horno
- Gaetana (9/5): Soggiorno molto piacevole in pieno centro storico accessibile con facilità’ ai luoghi visitabili di Caltagirone - Location in un palazzo antico, camera spaziosa e accogliente con balconcino, arredata con gusto, impreziosita da mobili antichi e ceramiche locali, gestori molto gentili e attenti ad ogni esigenza bagno in camera molto piccolo pur se funzionale
- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Awesome location, beautiful building. Davide very helpful and friendly.

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, welche uns mit Tips für Frühstück und Abendessen versorgten. Italien wie vor dreissig Jahren. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis Kaum etwas.
