A Neo-Gothic Palace Between the Sea, History, and Liberty Design
Villa Igiea is a magnificent luxury resort housed in a late 19th-century neo-Gothic palace overlooking the Gulf of Palermo, at the foot of Mount Pellegrino. Originally designed by Admiral Domville and later transformed by the Florio family, the hotel retains its Belle Époque charm with original frescoes, grand salons, and Art Nouveau details.
Rooms, Suites, and Private Villas with Panoramic Views
The hotel offers 96 rooms and suites, as well as private villas, decorated in classic Sicilian style with Liberty and Art Deco touches. The most prestigious suites — including the “Donna Franca” and “George V” — feature spacious terraces with sea views and premium amenities.
Seafront Pool and Wellness in the Historic Tower
The panoramic freshwater pool offers stunning views of the sea and is surrounded by a spacious sun terrace and relaxation areas. The Irene Forte Spa, located in the historic tower, features holistic treatments, hammam, sauna, sea-view treatment rooms, and a modern fitness center.
Private Beach Access and Fine Dining
Guests enjoy privileged access to Mondello beach through a dedicated service. On-site, Villa Igiea features the elegant Florio Restaurant, the lively Alicetta Pool Bar, and the sophisticated Igiea Terrazza Bar with views over the marina.
Authentic Experiences and Exclusive Services
The hotel offers sunrise yoga sessions, terrace aperitifs, private boat excursions, wine and food tastings, guided tours of Palermo, and custom transfers to the city center or airport.
Prime Location and Signature Rocco Forte Hospitality
Just 3 km from Palermo’s historic center and 30 minutes from the airport, Villa Igiea is an ideal destination for refined getaways. Guests benefit from free parking, Wi-Fi, multilingual concierge, transfer service, babysitting, and luxury event spaces.

His Opinion: Il personale molto cortese e professionale, l'albergo bello, ma la camera un po rumorosa, e la doccia nella vasca perdeva acqua dal cristallo para spruzzo.

His Opinion: We were desappointed by the dinner not so famous. It 's not nomal that clients have to pay for internet connection and don't have any free wifi area. It was the unique hotel during our trip where we could'nt connect....but this hôtel was pleasant.

His Opinion: Mi sento di dire che l'unico neo da sottolineare è che il giorno della partenza, dovendo liberare la stanza entro le 12, ed avendo l'aereo alle ore 22 non abbiamo, nonostante richiesto, una camera d'appoggio e che quindi abbiamo utilizzato gli spogliatoi della piscina. Per un hotel del livello d Villa Igiea mi è risultato una forte caduta di stile. Grazie

His Opinion: Ho già visto che altri lo hanno fatto notare....un Hotel di questo livello non puo' chiedere 6 euro/ora per la connessione internet....dovrebbe essere un servizio incluso nel prezzo.
Estremamente gradita la gentilezza del personale.

His Opinion: Quality - and prices - are very high, so we were very surprised 1) that internet access is not included in the price of the room but costs as much as 6 Euro per hour, and 2) that the hotel could not provide us with an electrical adaptor for our pc but sent us to the shops to buy one. It cost as little as 10 Euro, so I would strongly recommend that the 5 star hotel invest in one in order to avoid frustrations like ours.
