Pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner reportedly marked their wedding weekend at a stunning private villa in Sicily, owned by a princess. The property, nestled in the island’s picturesque countryside, has long been a retreat for writers, painters, and thinkers seeking inspiration. While the couple’s celebration was private, the villa itself is available for holiday rentals, offering fans a chance to experience the same serene setting.
The villa’s owner, a Sicilian princess, has maintained the estate’s historic charm while adding modern luxuries. Past guests have included renowned artists and intellectuals, drawn by the property’s tranquil gardens, panoramic views of the Mediterranean, and traditional architecture. The venue reportedly features multiple bedrooms, a private pool, and expansive terraces ideal for entertaining.
For UK travellers keen to follow in the couple’s footsteps, direct flights from London Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester to Palermo or Catania are available, with fares starting from around £80 return on budget airlines. Car hire is recommended for reaching the villa, located inland. Weekly rental prices for the property begin at approximately £5,000, though peak summer rates can be higher. Booking well in advance is advised, especially for summer 2025.
British tourists should check the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) travel advice for Italy before travelling. Sicily is generally safe, but visitors should be aware of petty crime in tourist areas. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential, covering medical expenses, cancellation, and personal belongings. UK citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days, but passports must be valid for the duration of the trip.
The villa’s availability for public hire means that luxury-seeking holidaymakers can book a piece of Sicilian history. However, with only a handful of suites, availability is limited. Those interested should contact specialist villa rental agencies that list the property. For a more budget-friendly option, nearby agriturismos offer authentic Sicilian stays from around £100 per night.
