Butera28
As Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa wrote in his famous Sicilian novel The Leopard, "If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change". He'd surely approve of the work his adopted son and daughter-in-law, Gioacchino and Nicoletta Lanza Tomasi, the Duke and Duchess of Palma, have done in restoring the 18th-century palazzo where he penned the lines. The property has been divided into 12 luxurious apartments, with an elegant decor featuring antique furnishings and classic Sicilian tiling. The apartment-style stays all have fully equipped kitchens, WiFi and air conditioning.
