In the heart of Caltagirone, just a short walk from the Santa Maria del Monte Staircase, a private residence exceptionally opens its most striking spaces: a guided route through the State Rooms, the “Castello” entrance and the hypogeum.
A brief yet immersive experience: here, luxury is attention to detail—not haste.
Visits by reservation only. Limited places.
An elegant pace, not a tourist rush.

Why this visit is different
A private residence, not a museum
This is not a “standardised” route: you step into a lived-in palazzo, with state rooms and historical layers you can sense—step by step.
The real Caltagirone
Just a few metres from the Santa Maria del Monte Staircase: the palazzo is an integral part of the historic centre, not a stop detached from its surroundings.
A “three-act” itinerary
Striking state rooms, the “Castello” entrance and underground spaces: a clear narrative rhythm that culminates in the most surprising point.
Carefully hosted, limited places
Reservation required. The visit is confirmed once the minimum number of participants is reached: no crowds, no chaos—just attention to detail.
