It is set in a very beautiful landscape setting, in fact along the way to get there, you will pass olive trees, almond trees carob trees and the classic old white stone walls marking the fields. It consists of three floors, boasts over 120 rooms (those that can be visited are much less) and around it there is an elegant park of 8 hectares. The rooms still retain typical furnishings and colorful frescoes in the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also very nice is the outdoor terrace and the small turrets, from which you will have a nice view of the surrounding area<\/strong>. <strong>The park around the castle is moto large and there is also a labyrinth there, still passable, designed by Baron Corado Arezzo de Spuches to entertain his guests<\/strong>. Around it is the park, very large even if a bit let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_in_the_Castle_of_Donnafugata\"><\/span>What to see in
