Food and Beverages: The breakfast received numerous accolades for its quality and variety, with guests enjoying artisan drinks and excellent lunch and dinner options. The culinary experience was a significant highlight for many visitors.

We loved our stay at Villa Igiea! It is a beautiful hotel complete with fabulous gardens and an amazing sea view. It was a real paradise in Palermo. Our room was well maintained by Yolanda from Housekeeping. The room was such an elegant design, clean, ambient temperature and everything worked complete with a super comfortable bed. What sets this hotel apart is the warmth and professionalism of the staff team. They really take time to get to know you. We loved being welcomed by Giovanna at breakfast and talking with Rossana every morning. Francesca made really good suggestions of places to visit. Salvatore kindly prepared a plate of sweet Sicilian foods for us. On my birthday Massimo even presented me with a cake to celebrate! Dinner at the Aliceta restaurant with a sea view was spectacular. Giuseppe and Alessio offered great recommendations and Rafaelle went above and beyond to ensure we had the best dinner. At the Florio restaurant, Carlo was such an amazing host. Franceso took care to explain items on the menu and all the staff were very keen for you to experience the finest Sicilian cuisine. The Chefs are outstanding and every meal was delicious. We enjoyed visiting the cocktail bar too and admired the creativity of the cocktail geniuses. We loved using the gym and relaxing by the pool. Vincenzo and colleagues were so attentive and some refreshing poolside snacks were often provided including fresh melon and orange granita-what a treat! The shuttle service to Mondello beach was much appreciated and Auriello and Vincenzo were kind and very good drivers. The reception and concierge team ensured that our stay was perfect and we really noticed the attention to detail. From the fresh flowers in the bathroom, to our welcome peaches in our room when arrived, to the fabulous live musicians at dinner. The hotel is beautifully maintained and it was wonderful to explore the gardens. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here and we would love to visit again!
