| The Grand Hotel Villa Igiea is overlooking the bay of Palermo and is one of Sicily's most famous hotels. It was built following the wishes of the powerful Florio family towards the end of the 19th century, with interiors by Ernesto Basile, the master of Italian Art Nouveau. This splendid villa has in its time welcomed the most famous names of the international jet set. The hotel is a real historical monument, and elegantly furnished within a refined and comfortable enviroment. The lounges, which still is furnished with its beautiful-original antique furniture create an welcoming atmosphere. The hotel offers a large jasmine scented garden, swimming pool perched directly on the beach, 3 magnificent meeting rooms, tennis court and a restaurant with a very refined kitchen. |
