Lonely Planet review for Villa Albina

In the village of Pairumani you can visit Villa Albina and tour the home the tin baron - Simon Patino, actually occupied. This enormous white mansion was named for his wife. Albina was presumably as fussy as her husband when it came to the finer things in life, and the elegant French decor of the main house and the Carrara-marble mausoleum seem typical of royalty anywhere in the world. There’s a formal garden, complete with topiary and the family mausoleum in which the Don and his wife were finally laid to rest.
