Case Tabarani

The Case Tabarani estate stands on a hilltop in the valley of the river Imera, in a panoramic location that provides a sweeping view stretching from Palermo’s Monte Pellegrino to the highest peaks of the Madonie range. The estate is engaged in farming activities (olives production and livestock) and provides holiday accommodation in six residential units each of which composed of two or three rooms, for a total of 28 beds, with a restaurant with seating for 60 diners.

All the units are fully furnished and equipped with all services, with shower and wireless broadband. Most rooms offer breathtaking panoramic views.
The ground floor is taken up with the reception room, the most historic portion of the building, with its original tiled floor.
There are two residential units on the ground floor, Rosa canina (rose hip) and Biancospino (hawthorn), and four on the first floor, Ortica (nettle), Ginestra (gorse), Mirto (myrtle), Cardo (thistle) (the names are taken from wild flowers and plants that grow in the surrounding countryside, with thistle and myrtle forming the basis for delicious traditional liquors that we make for our guests).
Rosa canina has a triple room and living room with additional single bed.
Biancospino is composed of a double room, twin room, and living room with a double sofa bed.
Ortica has one double room and a large single room.
Ginestra and Mirto both offer a double room, a twin room, and a living room with additional single bed.
Cardo has a double room and a large living room with a double sofa bed and an additional single bed.

The restaurant occupies the central area of the ground floor and offers seating for 60. The dining area is the most historically important part of the building, and it contains, in their original locations, the historic olive presses and mill, bearing the date 1886.  Alongside the mill there is the perfectly preserved manger which would once have contained forage for the mule or donkey that provided the motive power. The pits in front of the presses would once have accommodated vats for collecting the mixture of oil and water, which would separate due to the different densities.
The restaurant provides a range of local dishes from the Madonie mountains, with vegetables from the farm garden or wild vegetables and herbs from the surrounding area at certain times of the year, meat from animals reared on the farm, plus a range of products from affiliated and nearby farms.
