General Information
In his lemon estate in the countryside of Taormina, Prince Gabriele Alliata di Villafranca has refurbished five cottages from what was originally an old farm building, known as “Le Case del Principe” located between Etna and the bay of Taormina. They are named: Lunasole, Zeus, Leone, Trinacria, Polyphemus. Le case del Principe (literally the Prince’s houses) consist of five cottages, previously small farm buildings belonging to the estate named Pietraperciata.
They have been completely refurbished and equipped with every possible convenience.
They are strategically located for whoever wishes to visit this particular area of Eastern Sicily.
The estate is situated in the centre of an extensive cultivation of citrus fruit and olive groves, only few minutes from the sea (Isola Bella, Mazzarò, Giardini Naxos and Taormina).
The proprietor of the estate, Prince Gabriele Alliata di Villafranca, has taken great pains to preserve the place's historical integrity during the restoration work and refurbishing of the old farm buildings. Meanwhile, the view on Mount Etna and the vicinity of the sea contribute to making 'Le case del Principe' an enchanted place.
Each cottage has its own individual patio with cane covering and creepers to have meals, read and meditate, equipped with outdoor seats and table. The peace and quiet of the estate grounds encourages you to relax completely and enjoy the balmy warmth of the Sicilian climate in close contact with nature.
A spectacular pool with mediterranean gazebo, solarium and flower garden ( the whole exclusive area is covering 5000 square metres) is available for guests in the lemongrove 30 metres distant from the cottages.
Each cottage is furnished in a uniquely individual manner and has been given a name that reflects a feature of Sicilian symbolism:
Lunasole, Zeus, Leone, Trinacria and Polyphemus.
