Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
This grand coastal estate, Rocco Forte Villa Igiea, is ideal for travellers wanting historic garden pools with views over the Bay of Palermo. Guest reviews are superb. Guests can expect a Belle Époque landmark featuring an outdoor pool in historic gardens, though the property lies outside Palermo's walkable old-town core and sea views vary considerably by room.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 13 hotels we list on Sicily is 9.0.
