What to expect in this Wedding Venue large villa rental in Sicily, Italy?
The castle is surrounded by a magnificent park full of palm trees, aromatic, rare, and historic plants (many of which are normally to be found only in botanic gardens) and has a fantastic swimming pool, as well as direct access to the sea through an ancient flight of steps carved into a tunnel in the natural tufa. The castle is set on two levels connected by a grand staircase. On the top floor is a recently constructed and very comfortable apartment comprising a large living room, kitchen, terrace, and 7 bedrooms (six doubles and one twin) each with a private bathroom.
On the piano nobile is a typical Baroque “enfilade” of grande reception rooms culminating in the Blue Room, two dining rooms, a guest bathroom and two bedrooms (one double and one single) accessed up a small staircase. A sweeping terrace runs alongside the numerous reception rooms. A second staircase leads down to more bedrooms (five doubles, one twin and a single). All the bedrooms have views of the sea.
