An amazing oasis just outside Palermo, which isn't the prettiest city, or cleanest! Nevertheless Villa Igiea lives up to it's reputation in offering understated elegance. From the welcome to our departure we could not fault this hotel. The service, rooms and ambience were superb. the food is excellent, and the service at the pool restaurant headed by Geronimo (I think that's how you spell his name) made every meal there an absolute pleasure . We had a room overlooking the bay which was spacious and well decorated. The evening entertainment is pleasantly discreet and great cocktails at the bar and terrace. While we wouldn't return to Palermo, as we'd try another side of the island, if you are going to Palermo, this is the hotel to stay at.
