Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel

Hotel · Palermo

@cntraveler

"Life at this masterclass in sophisticated elegance revolves around aperitivo hour, which goes down on a breezy outdoor terrace and is accompanied by a jazz pianist. Villa Igiea takes one back to a time when a couple got all dolled up just to see each other, and to be in the company of others doing the same only enhances the romance that is every-crackling in this Italian air. In the company of your beloved, make an evening of people watching others who have arrived chasing the same feeling—couples that have been together for decades enjoying their umpteenth martini together, young lovers from aristocratic families stealing away for a weekend, and so on. As executive editor Erin Florio said in her review, “This resort is so timeless and elegant that you almost feel nostalgic for a Sicily that never even existed during your lifetime.”" - CNT Editors, Betsy Blumenthal
