Some 10km SE of Troina, a grandious arch...

...leads into a spaceous courtyard and...

...the noble Casa Sollima, built around 1700.

To the side is a barn and the entrance to...

...the Kitchen for food preparation for the estate workers.

The partly furnished bedrooms...

...line the corridor.

The principle salon opens to a winde terrace.

A doorway leads to an exquisitely painted withdrawing room.

This in turn leads to...

...the main bedroom.

Once a treasured possession.

The master and mistress' water closet & bidet.

The music room.

With the original ceramic floor.

Kitchen for preparation of family food.

Bathroom for the domestic servants.

The chapel behind the villa is dated 1702.

Cat door.

Old grinding wheel still in use.

Two Sicilian carts...

...paint rapidly fading.
