The landscape is a harmonious interplay of winding footpaths and shady groves, where peacocks roam freely amongst palms, cycas, hibiscus and roses, where Barbary figs and citrus trees flourish.  Guests have the choice of three gardens: the villa garden, the old garden and the orange blossom garden.  In the still Sicilian afternoons or the warm summer evenings you might like to take a seat by the roses, or perhaps you would rather a background of heady jasmine perfume. 
You may, instead, prefer to stroll amongst the olive groves or along the ancient royal roads leading to the top of Monte Giambo where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets.  The breath-taking view encompasses the Bay of Cornino from Erice to Marsala … and the old people say that in the limpid days of long ago you could even see the coasts of Africa.
