Historical background
The first references to the Rocca della Trabia, a word that meant mansion, date back to 1153, testifying to the castle's ancient origins. In the 15th century, Blasco Lanza married Eloisa, heiress of Bartholomew, prothonotary of the kingdom, securing the succession of Trabia, the palace of Palermo and all other properties.
Over the centuries, the castle has been the scene of numerous events of historical importance, to the point of closely linking its name to that of the last prince of Trabia, Raimondo Lanza, a truly unique character.

Exceptional beyond words!
From the moment we arrived, every single detail was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. You went so far above and beyond to make our day magical, and we feel so incredibly blessed and grateful that we chose you to be part of such an important and unforgettable moment in our lives.
It truly was the most special day of our lives, and you helped make it absolutely spectacular. From the incredible boat entrance for Rafi, to every little detail throughout the evening, everything was simply perfect.
What touched us most was the genuine care and love you showed us throughout the whole day. You didn’t just make sure everything ran perfectly — you made sure *we* were okay, looked after and actually got to enjoy our own wedding.
One moment that we will never forget was when the manager made sure we had a seat during the appetisers so that we could actually sit down, eat and spend some precious time together. It may sound like such a small thing, but it meant the world to us. So many couples miss out on eating or having a moment together on their wedding day because everything moves so quickly, and you recognised that and made sure we had that special time. That level of thoughtfulness and care is something we will always remember.
Every member of the team made us feel so loved, cared for and celebrated. We never felt like just another wedding — you made us feel genuinely special, and that is something we will cherish forever.
Thank you for the kindness, love, care and attention you gave us. You helped create memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful experience.
We are beyond grateful for you and the entire team. We absolutely loved every second, and we will forever look back on our wedding day with the biggest smiles and the warmest hearts.
Thank you for making our dreams come true. We love you!
Hollie & Rafi 🤍✨
