A true urban resort, accessible by land or sea and only a 10-minute drive to the center of Palermo where visitors can admire the overpowering beauty of the city. Originally built to be a private villa and turned into a luxury hotel by the Florio family, Villa Igiea has been a symbol of elegance and hospitality that has seen artists, elite, and royalty pass through its doors. Director of Design Olga Polizzi, will oversee the meticulous restoration to preserve its exquisite historical features while keeping with RF signature design style. The renowned Basile room, the frescoed bar and the grand mirrored ballroom will be restored to its natural beauty while the 104 rooms and suites will be designed to reflect a Sicilian oasis that is contemporary and classic.

The terrazza bar is spectacular. Craft cocktails in a beautiful setting and the indoor bar is beautiful too. Arancina was so light and delicious

Cool cocktails and a beautiful view but we had to ask our table neighbors to stop FaceTiming as it was loud and intrusive to our experience.

Just spent four nights here and loved every second. It was great to be so close to Palermo so we could enjoy seeing the city and then having a peaceful retreat to escape to. The hotel is beautiful and loved spending time at the pool to relax and cool down after seeing the sights. The staff was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely return.

Nice and classic. Out of town location, needs time to call taxis. Hotel has limited shuttle on a schedule. Friendly staff.

Old world style, and elegance are evident from the moment you enter the property.. each and every member of the staff is welcoming, genuinely warm, and professional. The hotel setting on the water, the grounds, and the views from the balconies with rooms facing the water are magnificent. The staff seamlessly and unobtrusively move about the property to keep everything in tiptop shape. Service requests are performed almost instantaneously. The Concierges Desk is easily able to perform the seemingly impossible. Even the Restaurant.s on the property served the best food we experienced in Palermo, including a Michelin star restaurant and a Michelin recommended restaurant. We loved every moment of our stay here.
