• SETTING & STYLE

Built in the late1800’s at the very height of the Belle Époque period, the sumptuous and elegant Villa Igiea sits in a peaceful location, high above Palermo’s picturesque harbour. Originally created as an exclusive health resort, the hotel takes its name from ‘Igiea’, the Greek nymph of health. Now the hotel is the very essence of elegance and refined hospitality with its grand Liberty style rooms and terraces overlooking the lush gardens towards the sea. The Art Nouveau furnishings afford a wonderfully glamorous feel to the 116 guest rooms, which maintain much of their original décor, whilst having been discreetly adapted so as to accommodate the most modern of facilities. Some rooms overlook the gardens, whilst others have views on the Bay of Palermo.

The curved sea water swimming pool is located in the terraced gardens, surrounded by lush plants and flowers.
