Palazzo Previtera - Bed & Breakfast in Sicily
Via D. Alighieri 24, 95015 Linguaglossa, Catania
Sicily,
Italia
A privilege to enter this sun-coloured building with a balcony at each window: every room tells another story documenting the past 450 years of history with family archives and a library of 2000 books - culture-seekers will be filled with joy. You can relax in any of the colourfully painted sitting rooms and absorb the art or read a book, and there is a gallery space downstairs.
The biggest surprise of all is the historic botanical garden, originally designed in 1900 and overflowing with an astonishing variety of flowers, fruit and trees and with lots of hidden places to have breakfast, nap, read or meditate. You breakfast heartily on fresh ricotta, home-baked breads, cakes and tarts, freshly-squeezed oranges from the garden. Spacious bedrooms have gorgeous fabrics and smart, modern bathrooms.
The cottages in the garden have their own kitchens and you are a short stumble from restaurants and shops at this very special oasis.
