Our Story

Mangiapane Family

Villa Nunziatella Badia was born from the vision of Filippo Mangiapane who, together with his daughter Nunziatella, transformed this family property into an oasis of peace and relaxation in the heart of Western Sicily.

The name of the Villa pays homage to an ancestor, grandmother Nunziatella: the granddaughter therefore represents a symbol of family continuity and hospitality that has characterized the Mangiapane family for generations.

Located on the picturesque hill of Contrada Badiella, in Trappeto, the property extends over a lush garden of oranges and olive groves.

Villa Nunziatella Badia also owes its name to the ancient district where it is located, Badiella, which means "small Abbey". It is believed that in ancient times there was an abbey of Cistercian monks who, during the wars between Normans and Saracens around the year 1000, had colonized the territory, preceding the arrival of the Norman kings.

Our philosophy

Hospitality

The Mangiapane family, particularly Mr. Filippo and his daughter Nunziatella, have renovated the villa several times while maintaining its soft Mediterranean lines and typical features. Together with their staff, they dedicate themselves to their guests, immersing them in Sicilian history, tradition, and culture, and offering typical local experiences such as olive and lemon harvesting. The property, surrounded by a park of olive and orange trees, also offers a spectacular view of the Gulf of Castellammare.
