Breakfast includes typical Sicilian products served in the panoramic room on the second floor. Cooking lessons are available, led by qualified chefs.

Gardens and Theosophical Park

Casa Cuseni features terraced gardens. The villa has one of the most important theosophical parks in Europe, and its garden preserves its structure as an oasis for birds. Behind it are gardens with an architectural design and a jazzy tiled fountain. The construction in this garden includes a great Menorah, three Mikvehs for ritual baths, a Temple, and a pathway of purification.

historical charm with garden views

original art enchanting garden knowledgeable guide
The villa features mostly original art and furniture, set in enchanting gardens. i found the guide quite knowledgeable, providing context and bringing the villa's history to life with passion. i also enjoyed the breakfast served on the terrace. The views were really good. i especially appreciated the location. It was a short walk to the center.
the parking felt expensive at 25€ for less than 24 hours.
