Description |
Perched on a shallow cliff in Sicily overlooking the Sea of Palermo is the Villa Igiea Hilton, a world-class hotel that is reminiscent of a small castle, where all guests are treated like royalty. Set in fragrant, terraced gardens, Villa Igiea has been a landmark for more than a century, since its conception by famed architect Ernesto Basile. It is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau in its furniture and appointments, and is sure to charm anyone who visits.
Guests have long been captivated by Igiea’s spacious, welcoming lobbies, sweeping verandas, formal dining rooms and large and luxurious guest rooms and suites––many with balconies that overlook the gardens and the sea.
The 109 rooms and six suites are beautifully appointed and offer large, modern bathrooms, direct-dial phones, mini-bars and air conditioning.
The Villa Igiea dining room—whose top-notch service is sure to please even the most discriminating diners—offers its guests the opportunity to sample some of the most delectable Mediterranean cuisine.
Amenities at the hotel are plentiful and offer guests ample opportunity both to catch up on their rest and relaxation or experience a bit of adventure. A beautiful, free-form swimming pool, surrounded by palms and other plant life, is set on a ledge overhanging the sea and is the ideal spot for sunbathing. Tennis courts, a reading room, and an American-style bar with evening piano music are additional attractions for Villa Igiea guests. There’s even an ancient Greek temple adjacent to the pool area. But it will be difficult to top a walk along the hotel’s twisting pathways through pines, flower beds and manicured gardens—some of the most noteworthy attributes of this deluxe establishment.
In close proximity to a variety of famous archaeological sites and cathedrals, the Villa Igiea Hilton is ideally located for travelers who want to explore the area’s many cultural and historic attractions.
For true turn-of-the-century opulence in a breathtaking setting, the Villa Igiea Hilton in Palermo is in a class by itself.
