Kingdom of Two Sicilies: the secret garden of Casa Pennisi in Acireale

We continue our journey in search of the most beautiful Italian gardens that in addition to boasting botanical heritage of historical and natural interest, offer natural terraces with breathtaking views of the sea.

In Sicily, we find the historic garden of Casa Pennisi to offer plant scenes embellished with sea views. Located in the heart of Acireale, it is one of the few gardens that have withstood building speculation. It is a secret garden that opens its doors only by reservation and hosts every year in August “Villa Pennisi in Musica“, the international summer school in which all aspects related to the training of professionals in live performing are addressed. In the walls of Casa Pennisi have stayed illustrious guests such as the royal family of Italy and Wagner. If you want to experience the charm of a glorious historical past, choose to stay here by renting the apartment in its unit or staying in one of the three beautiful suites of which it is composed. For you the privilege of living exclusively this enchanting eden a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Catania.
