The town of Bagheria, nestled between the Bay of Palermo and the Imerese Termini Bay, is a wonderful summer vacation destination: golden sandy beaches, clear waters, and, of course, the perfect temperature for sunbathing during the high season. Bagheria is the birthplace of the painter Renato Guttuso and houses a modern art museum in the magnificent Villa Cattolica. The rocky coastline, dotted with tranquil coves and cliffs of various shapes, attracts tourists.
And the beautiful villas of Palermo’s aristocracy from the 18th and 19th centuries invite you to explore. Among them is Villa Palagonia, nicknamed the Villa of the Monsters because of the animal statues inside and around it. Also visit Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century complex with a charming garden. Palazzo Butera also invites you to explore its interior. Corso Umberto I is the perfect place for a quiet stroll, and if you’re looking for good clothes shops or delicious restaurants, you’ll find them in Bagheri.
