How to get there
Villa Giardini del Principe is located in Sicily on the coast between Palermo and Cefalù, at 50 mt from the sea and set in a picturesque coastal town with a good selection of fine bars and restaurants.

The villa is surrounded by magnificent palm-filled gardens, has a shady gazebo and a beautiful covered outdoor kitchen overlooking the pools.
There are three separate pools, each on different levels, and direct beach access from the property.

The villa is close to the former buildings of the tuna fisheries that date back to the 16th century and to a little touristic port. The main house is enclosed by an ancient loquat garden known as "Big garden of Principi Lanza".

The Lanza family, which dates back to the 13th century, has been one of the most important and ancient aristocratic families of Sicily. Their suggestive Castle built in the 10th century on sea rocks, is at only 200 mt of distance from the villa.

The Castle has been elected as as preferred residence by Prince Raimondo Lanza and has seen illustrious guests, like Susanna Agnelli, the writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, the shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, to name a few.
