Since our last restyling, the garden of the historic home of Baron Leggio has been specially designed to create a unique space for your events. Each renovation has been thought with respect and sensitivity without betraying the soul: an enchanted corner suspended in time, surrounded by high walls of limestone almost to protect an ancient secret.
A peaceful spot that preserves the atmosphere of yesteryear, where the Baron loved to relax among the mediterranean citrus trees and birdsong. Now the garden is back to be a living and welcoming place, offering an area with attention to detail and refined, with relaxation areas and the possibility of customized arrangements, according to your needs.
It is the perfect space for intimate events, private ceremonies, weddings, photo shoots and art presentations. Every detail is designed to create a memorable and tailor-made experience, between authenticity and Sicilian creativity.
Made from the ancient stone cellars of the nineteenth-century residence of the Baron Leggio and still retains arches, rough walls that tell centuries of history. The furnishings mix the elegance of the Sicilian style with velvet sofas and ceramics from Caltagirone and modern comfort.
The bar offers a refined selection of Sicilian wines, ancient liqueurs, fine cocktails and small gourmet tastings of the culinary tradition of the area.
It’s the ideal place for an elegant aperitif or a relaxing after-dinner, where every sip and every detail tells a story. For our valued guests is available the bookcrossing corner with a variety of literary genres and also books in foreign languages.
The panoramic terrace is a wonder suspended between sky and history. Perched on the top of the house, it opens like an open-air lounge overlooking the majestic Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, where you can enjoy breathtaking views and moments of pure relaxation. Among elegant furnishings, Mediterranean scents and soft lights is the ideal place for a romantic aperitif, a dinner under the stars or simply to be enchanted by one of the most suggestive shows in the city.
