| Sicily |
|
|
|
|
| Sicily is an island that conjures many images and feelings at once. It is a crossroads in the Mediterranean, part of Europe and Africa yet belonging to neither one. The endless coastline stirs fantasies of the trade and war ships of the Carthaginians, Phoenicians and Greeks, the latter leaving behind splendid architecture and works of art. The extraordinary hospitality and exuberance of its people is heartwarming, its food and wines excellent, the limitless expanse of sea spectacular, the largely barren interior lonely and the splendid squalor of Palermo intoxicating. We love Sicily. It is one of our favorite destinations. We are very proud to be able to offer these unparalleled Sicilian properties.

Don Arcangelo
(Price on request)
Sleeps 16 |
|
Don Arcangelo is a 500 acre estate on the east coast of Sicily between Catania and Taormina in a lush citrus valley sweeping gradually down to the sea. There are not one but two villas, stately buildings blending into a harmonious complex of rural architecture with enchanting gardens and terraces bordered with Mediterranean bushes and copious vases bursting with lemon trees and young olives. |

Villa Tasca
(Price on request)
Sleeps 8 (+4) |
|
No wonder the Villa Tasca and its gardens were the inspiration for Wagner's Parsifal. The scale and opulence of this splendid villa are definitely Wagnerian. Originally built in 1559, Villa Tasca has evolved into its present palatial magnificence over the centuries until it has become a living museum of Sicilian history resplendent with frescoes and valuable antiques. |
