This is a very grand hotel with beautiful grounds. I enjoyed staying here. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the water. Every morning we had breakfast on the terrace which has the same marvelous view. The breakfast was good although several times I saw flies on the cold meats and smoked fish on the buffet, which was... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Igiea and wish we could have stayed longer. The view from the outside bar and dining terrace was fabulous! The grounds are beautiful. The service was great, and breakfast was delicious with so many choices. Villa Igiea is located about 10 min. drive from the downtown area but they offer a free shuttle. This... More

This is a grand hotel indeed. It has an impeccable pedigree, having been once the palazzo of an indisposed Prince and his family (hence the name), with art deco beauty still there for you to admire. Villa Igeia has all the amenities of a grand hotel, but in Palermo it's a treat, as you have a free shuttle service to... More

My wife, our two children aged 10&7 spent the first two nights of a two week tour of the Island here. Like PAlermo itself the Hotel is a little tired looking. However the HOtel like the city has a great deal of charm as a result. We stayed in a suite overlooking the water which was large with a even... More

We were booked into the standard room which was ok but tired looking. Taxi fare to and from the center is very expensive - EUR20. The best part was having a drink at the terrace with a view overlooking the Bay and the marina. Breakfast was good but dinner was the worst meal we had. I ordered Prosciutto to start... More

Billion dollar view supplemented by overpricing drinks and the waiter that disappears with your change. Very unfortunate problem in Palermo. Think twice about doing more than a day trip in this capital unless you enjoy heaps of garbage and being routinely overcharged because you are a tourist.

This hotel is 20 minutes from downtown palermo. It is a well restored villa. The room are well sized. The staff is very pleasant. The highlight would be the morning included breakfast with the wonderful harbor views. On site restaurant is very gool with a beautiful outdoor bar.
