A Fabled 19th Century Palazzo - Discover history, majesty, and serenity at Villa Igiea: a turn-of-the-century palazzo at the perimeter of vivid Palermo, the foot of Mount Pellegrino, and the Gulf of Palermo. A long-loved seaside-meets-city sanctuary for royalty, dignitaries, and Hollywood luminaries, trace their paths through tiered villa gardens that sweep down to the port and out to the Tyrrhenian Sea; on excursions to Palermo’s bustling markets, Baroque palaces, and ancient sites, or yacht trips along its picturesque coast; and through Villa Igiea’s Italian restaurants, atmospheric bars, and palatial Art Nouveau interior, revitalized as a Rocco Forte hotel. Offering a range of beautiful views through tall windows, the design of all the rooms echoes the serenity of Sicilian island life. Blending classical and contemporary accents in soothing shades, these elegant spaces are furnished with twinnable super-king-sized beds and en suite Carrara marble bathrooms for comfort and convenience.
