provides the opportunity for a very real<br />
Sicilian experience on this island rich in<br />
culture and history.<br />
Having followed the long drive up the hill<br />
one finally reaches the princely family<br />
home surounded by lush vegetation.<br />
Stepping inside one finds typical Sicilian<br />
ninteenth centruy furnishings and objets<br />
d’art combined with many modern<br />
up-to-date fittings in the bathrooms<br />

dining room with its ornate fireplace<br />
and comfortable traditional furnishings<br />
leads onto the fabulous large oval terrace.<br />
Pine trees surround the terrace on which<br />
there is a working stone font – the perfect<br />
setting from an evening aperitivo watching<br />
the flaming Etna volcano as well as dinner<br />
on those warm balmy Sicilian evenings.<br />

Mount Etna from the Greek/<br />
Roman theatre is certainly its best known<br />
image. There is also a good selection of<br />
sandy beaches down the hill on the nearby<br />
coast including those at Fiumefreddo and<br />

several consecutive “Bandiere Blu”,<br />

Nebrodi and Peloritani mountain ranges.<br />

Messina, Catania, Siracusa and Noto<br />
and even Reggio Calabria on the Italian<br />
mainland.<br />
