Our Inspiration

Our home, "Villa Palermo", was inspired by a 16th Century Sicilian villa called "Villa Le Volte", located outside of Sienna in the Tuscany region of Italy. The unique U-shaped design that architect Baldassare Peruzzi used for Villa Le Volte was a revolutionary departure from the square block-shaped buildings constructed around a central courtyard that were typical of that period.

The lateral wings of Villa Palermo house the corporate offices and the Pizzeria & Café / Company Store with an open courtyard between them. Our courtyard provides visitors with the feel of Italy as they enjoy homemade pizza and sip San Pellegrino while enjoying the sounds of Italian music and the bubbling of the fountain imported from Italy.
