Having played host to royalty and A-listers for over a century, Villa Igiea is well-versed in the art of refined hospitality. Dating back to 1900, this stately home certainly does make a statement - one of opulent escapism in true Forte family fashion. It is Sicilian splendour that meets coastal chic, with leisurely days by the pool followed by candlelit nights on the terraces and morning awakenings to a balmy sea breeze sweeping in through the window.
An Art Nouveau icon on Palermo’s seafront, Villa Igiea is all grand staircases, frescoed ceilings and Belle Époque charm.
Elegant rooms and suites blend historic glamour with modern comfort, many offering sea views or garden terraces.
Sip an aperitivo beneath the palm trees or dine on Sicilian delicacies with views of the bay at Florio, the hotel’s signature restaurant.
Lounge by the panoramic pool, unwind in the serene spa, or explore Palermo’s vibrant markets and Moorish architecture.
A grand coastal retreat with all the intimacy and polish of a boutique hideaway, just minutes from the heart of Palermo.
Imagine hundreds of acres of sun-kissed Mediterranean coastline, glorious Sicilian countryside and an impeccable hotel combining to create an oasis of luxury, style and blissful escapism. With white-sand beaches, championship golf, a flagship spa and fabulous food and wine, Verdura is precisely that and more.
Exuding a timeless air of almost aristocratic elegance, Belmond Villa Sant’Andrea is one of Sicily’s finest hotels and retains the sense of privacy and seclusion that it held during its former life as a grand, private residence. What’s more, the property occupies its own stretch of beach on the secluded Bay of Mazzarò, with private beach cabanas for days spent basking in the sun.
Olive trees, orange groves and white-sand beaches set the scene for sophisticated Sicilian living at this all-villa offshoot of Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel.
Offering some of the best views in all Italy, Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo delivers old-world glamour in an enviable location in picturesque Taormina, next to the entrance to the ancient Greek theatre, with views from its terraces of Sicily’s puckered coastline and ever-active Mount Etna.
