Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel
Palermo, Italy
Villa Igiea sits at Palermo’s edge, where tiered gardens and views towards the port create a more spacious rhythm than a central city hotel. Art Nouveau interiors and period details give the rooms and public spaces a strong identity, while Florio Restaurant and the terrace bar make evenings at the property appealing in their own right. Treat it as a retreat for exploring Palermo, with transport planned around visits to the historic centre and time reserved for returning to the gardens.
