Villa Tasca is one of Sicily's most extraordinary private estates — a noble palazzo built in the 1500s as a hunting lodge and still inhabited by the Tasca family today, set within 20 acres of Victorian-era Romantic gardens with grottoes, a lake, temples, and century-old trees in the heart of Palermo. The villa has hosted King Ferdinand IV, Bismarck, Wagner (who composed Parsifal here), Verdi, Paganini, and Jacqueline Kennedy. It gained modern fame as a filming location for HBO's The White Lotus. With 18th-century frescoed halls for 220, gardens for up to 1,000, a private chapel seating 45, and four on-site suites including a noble-floor honeymoon suite, Villa Tasca is as grand as Sicilian weddings get.
