Reviews for Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel
One of my best breakfasts ever!
Fantastic upgraded room - clean, beautifully appointed and luxurious. Excellent linens. Great service. Parts of hotel, particularly outdoors (though low season) rather tired. Incredible breakfast

Stay in town, much but much better
Simply bad! They want to be ponzi and can’t keep up with the standards! 30 € for a spaghetti pomodoro???? Are we kidding? My carbonara came cold, then they had to make it again and it was literally horrible, I described it as the worst ever. My fault as I should have gone to one of the local restaurant.

Perfezione a Palermo!
My wife and I recently stayed at this fabulous resort for 5 nights in Palermo on our visit to Sicily.. We had a suite that was very spacious and beautifully decorated with a huge outdoor terrace that looked out over the Gulf of Palermo and Tyrrhenian Sea. The resort is luxurious and beautiful in all respects. The grounds were exceptional and the entire hotel was immaculate from top to bottom. The history and rich heritage of the resort alone is worth the visit. With past guests like Princess Grace, Prince Rainier, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Greta Garbo and many others. The most impressive aspect of this gem was the service! If I could give it 6 stars I would. Our check-in experience was perfect in every way. We had an exceptional guest relations manager Dalila who held our hand during the whole process. We have stayed at many highly rated properties and she is one of the best we have had! In fact the entire staff was fantastic . The restaurant and bar at Villa Igea is top notch! The food and service is outstanding thanks to employees like Marco, Cristian, Vincenzo, Giovani , Roy and Roberto I’m probably leaving out other outstanding members of the staff like housekeeping and turndown that were so accommodating and nice to us. We would highly recommend that you make this a definite destination on your trip to Sicily!!!

Will return many many times
Stayed as a guest and also threw a surprise birthday party for my sister. This place is the gold standard in everything and anything related to the hotel world. Nicest staff, best meals in Sicily and everyone anticipates your every need. Staying here makes you feel like royalty. Love it!!!
