The Local Area

Villa Igiea is situated the foot of Mount Pellegrino on the Gulf of Palermo, 3km from Palermo city centre.

Since its foundation under the Phoenicians, the city of Palermo has witnessed an astonishing number of civilisations come and go, each having left its own individual mark. It is therefore unsurprising that Sicily’s capital features a wide range of historical points of interest such as the cathedral, Palace of the Normans, Massimo theatre, Politeama theatre and Pretoria Square, which can be visited either on foot or by car/bus.

Alongside its historical charm, Palermo also features a wide range of restaurants, shops, bars, cafés and beaches, including Mondello for watersports, making it a fantastic location to spend a couple of days or longer holiday.

Huw's View

Re-opening as a Rocco Forte Hotel in 2021, Villa Igiea is a turn-of-the-century palazzo, blending period features with contemporary flair to exquisite effect. 

It stands on the Bay of Palermo with views of the sea and Monte Pellegrino and features a range of beautiful guest rooms and suites.

It is the perfect base to relax with pool, gym and tennis court yet explore Palermo (3km) with free shuttle service.

This hotel will suit couples and families, although the elegant surroundings would be perfect for couples looking to celebrate a special occasion.
