The beautiful 7-acre park of Villa Malfitano Whitaker sits in rural splendour just outside of Palermo, in the Politeama district, about half an hour's drive from the airport via the E90 motorway. The Malfitano palace is located at Via Dante Aligheri 16, and was built between 1886 and 1889 by Giuseppe Whitaker. The local businessman was a leading figure in the Anglo-Roman society at the end of the 19th century and a great collector of natural history and archaeological finds.

In spring and summer the park erupts into thousands of blossoms, as its former owner was also an enthusiastic botanist, birdwatcher and collector of all things “interesting”, including trees and exotic plants. His indoor collections include corals and rare books, works of art and antiques, sculptures and statues, vases, rare natural history objects and, above all, archaeological finds from his native Sicily.

Monreale lies also a 35 minute drive from the airport via the E909. Its impressive Cathedral dates back to the late 1100's during the reign of William II, and is a landmark in this beautiful town. To the Cathedral belongs a cloister, built at roughly the same time. The near perfect square of the cloister building has a stunning inner arcade that is supported by some 228 columns and richly decorated with stonework carvings. The inner courtyard has been transformed into a beautiful formal garden.

Monreale overlooks La Conca d'oro (meaning "the golden shell"), a sunny valley filled with olive, almond and orange trees, still the main agricultural produce of the region. This agricultural produce is reflected in the local cuisine, which is distinctive in its flavours.

If an endless succession of stunning churches, cloisters and cathedrals has worn you out, give yourself a day off and head to Monreale's waterpark, AcquaPark Monreale, in Strada Provinciale di Pezzingoli, (https://acquaparkmonreale.business.site/). It boasts numerous slides and pools, ideal for all ages.

Young and older adventurers will find something to enjoy at Monreale's Eco Campus Casaboli at Località Piano di Casaboli, (http://www.ecocampuscasaboli.it/ ).

Situated on the slope of Monte Caputo, Monreale is 35 km from Palermo Airport, and about 8 km distance from central Palermo.
