Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel

A true urban resort, accessible by land or sea and only a 10-minute drive to the center of Palermo where visitors can admire the overpowering beauty of the city. Originally built to be a private villa and turned into a luxury hotel by the Florio family, Villa Igiea has been a symbol of elegance and hospitality that has seen artists, elite, and royalty pass through its doors. Director of Design Olga Polizzi, will oversee the meticulous restoration to preserve its exquisite historical features while keeping with RF signature design style. The renowned Basile room, the frescoed bar and the grand mirrored ballroom will be restored to its natural beauty while the 104 rooms and suites will be designed to reflect a Sicilian oasis that is contemporary and classic.
