Villa Virginia, construida entre 1906 y 1908 según un diseño del arquitecto Filippo La Porta, es uno de los ejemplos más fascinantes de la arquitectura Art Nouveau temprana de Palermo. Encargado por el empresario Vincenzo Caruso, que tenía vínculos con la familia Florio, encarna el gusto y la elegancia de una época pasada.
Con una superficie de aproximadamente 12.573 pies cuadrados, la propiedad se distribuye en dos plantas más un semisótano, y se distingue por sus torretas en las esquinas y una llamativa torre octogonal que define su perfil arquitectónico. La entrada de la planta baja se abre a un amplio hall de recepción con techo artesonado. Las habitaciones fluyen armoniosamente entre comedores, salones y un estudio con paneles de seda y pan dorado. Una de las habitaciones está decorada con pinturas del artista japonés Otama Kiyohara. Completan el piso una cocina, baños y una escalera de servicio.
Destaca la espectacular escalera de nogal de estilo Art Nouveau, flanqueada por una artística vidriera del maestro Bevilacqua. Toda la residencia está realzada por ventanas y muebles emplomados de las históricas firmas Ducrot y Mucoli. La primera planta consta de cinco dormitorios con acceso a terrazas, algunas de las cuales conducen a las torres, creando espacios particularmente amplios y luminosos. La propiedad también incluye un anexo de estilo Art Nouveau de dos pisos (aproximadamente 882 pies cuadrados).
La villa está rodeada por un jardín privado con estacionamiento y goza de una ubicación céntrica, a pocos pasos de Villa Whitaker y Piazza Politeama.
