Bagheria is 15 Km from Palermo and is surrounded by large and flourishing citrus orchards, olive groves and vineyards. It is famous for its several villas and old mansions, which earned it the nickname Sicilian Versailles: Villa Butera, Villa Trabia, Villa Rosa, Villa Valguarnera and Villa Cattolica, to mention a few; the latter one hosts the Renato Guttuso Museum.
In Aspra, a little hamlet in Bagheria, you can find the Hotel-Restaurant “Da Franco il Conte”: 23 conformable rooms, with private services and direct telephone, TV, air-conditioning, fridge-bar and elevator. “Da Franco il Conte” is not only a restaurant-pizzeria but is also used as a banqueting-hall; the restaurant serves delicious local fish from the gulf of Porticello.
The warm Sicilian welcome, the delicious seafood cuisine, the kindness of the staff and Franco’s cordiality will convince you to come back.
