Built
in the 18th century for his Majesty the king Ferdinand
and her Majesty the Queen Carolina of Borbone during
their exile in Sicily, Villa Chiaramonte Bordonaro
ai Colli is still today the house of the Barons Chiaramonte
Bordonaro. Baron Luigi Chiaramonte Bordonaro Alliata
described by the international press as the last "
Gattopardo", and father of the current owners Gabriele
and Anna Stella, turned his home into a meeting place
for the most important and renowned personalities
at that time from the worlds of sport, art, politics,
and culture. Thanks to the his wife Baroness Beatrice
Peria Boscogrande, the gardens were transformed into
one of the most beautifull parks in Palermo.

They
were redesigned in a pecular italian style.Walking
along the avenues shaded by horse chestnuts in bloom
and lined with hawthorn hedges which contrast with
the bright red of the judas trees,time seems to stand
still. Today the owners have chosen to open up their
home to those who wish to celebrate special occasions
amidst the enduring pomp and splendour of olden times.
