Guests experience the full dolce vita feeling as they overlook the Gulf of Palermo from Villa Igiea. Even though the hotel sits on the outskirts of Sicily’s capital Palermo, it might as well be located on the shores of the Sea of Tranquility. A large park and panorama pool guarantee maximum relaxation. Sir Rocco Forte’s second property on the largest island in the Mediterranean has also received accolades for its Belle Epoque restaurant and stunning hotel interiors styled by Forte’s go-to interior designer Olga Polizzi. www.roccofortehotels.com
