Top 5 Villa Valguarnera is one of Italy’s most outstanding National Historic Landmarks. It is the first example of carefully planned landscape architecture, starting from the monumental gate, through the Garden of the Kaffee-Haus, which served as a prototype to the architect Schinkel for the Sicilian Garden of the Royal Palace in Sans Souci near Berlin, up to the esoteric path through the exotic garden until the summit of the Urania Hill. Surrounding the main building are the formal gardens, with important botanical species (see THE GARDEN). On the estate citrus and exotic fruits are still grown and the flock of sheep roam free clearing acres of brush while fertilizing the soil. Biodynamic agriculture was discovered by Rudolf Steiner at Villa Valguarnera thanks to his friend the Duke of Salaparuta, pioneer of vegetarian diets and great uncle of the present Princess.
