The Bed and Breakfast is located in a wonderful setting in the famous Taranto Palace, built in the late Baroque style in the 18th century by the noble family of philanthropist Emanuele Taranto. Emanuele Taranto Rosso, born in 1801 in Caltagirone, was a writer, scientist, and religious figure who donated all of his manuscripts to the Library, where his portrait can be admired. The structure is situated at the foot of the Maria SS. del Monte staircase, behind the Church of San Giuseppe, with a view of the Spadaro Garden.
Inside, there are two "Luxury Rooms": "Imperia" and "Golden Room," equipped with all the amenities for an unforgettable, romantic stay, ideal for those seeking a vacation that combines beauty, history, and local culture.
The structure also boasts three prestigious lounges, characterized by frescoes and original flooring from their respective periods, ranging from the 18th to the 19th century. We have created this Bed and Breakfast to enhance and make accessible a piece of Caltagirone's historical heritage, which has long been neglected.
Since the 19th century, it has been the center of intellectual and political activities for illustrious figures, including Luigi Sturzo, his nephew.
