Villa Felicia in Carini, open June–October.
Villa Felicia commands sweeping views across the Tyrrhenian coastline from its elevated position in Carini, Sicily, where Mediterranean gardens and stone terraces frame the Palermo Gulf.
The 19th-century estate sits on landscaped grounds featuring mature palms and flowering bougainvillea, with the villa's ochre façade glowing against blue water vistas.
Ceremonies unfold on open-air terraces; receptions move into period rooms with arched ceilings and original tilework.
Villa Felicia is a beautiful and magical place! It has an incredible atmosphere with unique decoration. We enjoyed a wonderful wedding, where it was clear that all the details were carefully planned to make the evening unforgettable. The food was simply exquisite and the staff's attention is also worth mentioning!
