This restored baroque residence hosts several bedrooms, two cottages, and a collection of spaces devoted to art, research, and education.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Linguaglossa's stone streets are lined with quiet piazzas, and the Museo Francesco Messina is five minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Rooms in the main palazzo hold dark wooden antiques, while garden suites sit steps from the saltwater pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor saltwater pool sits in the botanical garden, looking out past olive trees toward Mount Etna.
The spa & gym
At the table
Dinners unfold under lava-stone barrel vaults, and breakfast is served outside beneath a pergola in the garden.
The B&B has been in his family for over 350 years. Together with his parents Alberto and Mariella, Alfio spent 10 years restoring the pre-Baroque building and the antique furniture within.
How it began
The Previtera family built the palazzo in 1649 over a solidified lava stream, serving as administrators for the Princes of Spadafora.
