Villa Tasca is situated in an 8-hectare park filled with citrus groves and centuries-old trees. While the layout of the Villa dates from the 16th century, the oasis in which it stands it is one of the most emblematic gardens of 19th-century Sicilian Romanticism. The undulating shapes of stone-edged flowerbeds and the lush tropical vegetation create a sensation of being immersed in an atmosphere redolent with tranquillity and charm as soon as you enter the gardens. The landscaped English-style lawns perpetually imbue the garden with an air of lightness and simplicity. The spacious and bright interiors are characterised by frescoes and majolica tiles depicting suggestive rock scenes that create a sense of serenity and vibrancy. Villa Tasca is a historic mansion, a family home and an enchanted garden where Wagner, Goethe and many others loved to while away the time. Your stay will be a true experience blending wine, food, botany and history, while also enabling you to celebrate a very special moment.
The history of Villa Tasca
The origins of Villa Camastra (which subsequently came to be known as Villa Tasca), date right back to the mid-15th century. Located on the edge of Palermo’s historic centre, it is one of the most striking residences in the whole of Sicily. Surrounded by lush and varied flora, including palms, almond trees and acacias, the Villa was initially a hunting lodge and was later transformed into a summer residence. A unique and bewitching place, it has frequently welcomed illustrious personalities to stay, and in fact it so captivated the composer Wagner that he spent quite some considerable time at the residence, composing the third act of “Parsifal” here in 1881. This green oasis, once planted with vineyards, went on to become one of the oldest wineries in the region. As a result, production of the first red wine began and garnered success in many of the finest restaurants in Europe and further abroad.
Accommodation in unforgettable suites
Immersed in the “romantic garden”, the Villa is built on two levels, featuring cosy guest rooms and beautifully frescoed lounges.
