Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel

Just returned from a weekend in Palermo and a stay at Villa Igiea. Everything about this hotel is first class, 5-stars. From the moment you check in, the team couldn’t be more friendly or do enough for you to make you feel comfortable. Extremely well appointed rooms, fantastic dining and a beautiful location. If you are looking for somewhere to stay Palermo, look no further. We were sad to leave but cannot wait to return. Thank you to everyone at the hotel - you are truly marvelous.

This is the best hotel ever! Great personalized service, beautiful clean spacious rooms with awesome views (cleaned if you wish twice a day), fresh food at the restaurant with a varied menu (mindful of allergies and special requests), fantastic bar with piano and excellent spa. Staying here is a unique experience, they focus on the wellbeing of those who stay.

This is a very good hotel. Lovely rooms, excellent food and above all else great staff who go out of their way to make everything first class. A delightful oasis in the outskirts of Palermo. Only small complaint is the swimming pool should be heated.

We spent a week at the beautiful Villa Igeia in October / November with our adult children. This place is incredibly special and we had a wonderful time. The property is stunning. It exudes old school glamour, overlooking Palermo harbour and the sea. We spent many languid breakfasts and aperitivo hours on the terrace. The service is truly second-to-none. Everyone who works here - without exception - is friendly and warm and super helpful. The food and drink is delicious. The Villa also has a a beautiful pool, situated next to the ruins of a Roman temple and a well-appointed gym which we used every day. There are tennis courts and also a spa (we didn’t get round to using these). We enjoyed two excursions organised by the Villa/ one to Cefalu and a vineyard and one to a cooking class in Palermo (preceded by a tour around the Ballaro food market). Both were excellent. We had the company of Francesco, a local driver both days and for the cooking class (which was excellent - see my review below) a local student Rihama escorted us. Both were very professional and charming and we were confident we were in good hands. I hope to return - we have completely fallen for Villa Igiea and Palermo. Thank to all the staff for a wonderful stay.

Is one of the best hotels which I have visited .The location is amazing. Very nice garden! The bar and the restaurants are very very good. The people which involve with that are very polite and always they are smiling. The suits are very beautiful with very nice decorations and very clean. The room service is fantastic. Generally I think that is one of the best in the world !!
