Rocco Forte Villa Igiea

From the moment I booked this trip to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday, until the day we left, it was a terrific experience. I need to call out Francesco, the Concierge, who went above and beyond helping to arrange a private tour guide/car for a day; and a fishing excursion, and a car transfer to Taormina when we left. He also had excellent restaurant recommendations. Back and forth emails for a couple of months prior to arrival and then when we met him on site he continued to help us navigate our stay. The whole staff was amazing! Welcoming. Remembering us when we came for breakfast, or drinks in the evening. We truly felt special and part of the 'family'. The service at Villa Igiea is overall the best I've experienced and I do stay at many 5-star/luxury properties. I am a Global Marketing Events Director for a major consulting firm and host VIP events all over the world. (Just so you know I have experience, ):-).Thank you for the royal treatment. Our suite was spacious, tasteful, so comfortable. Always kept clean, turn down service, etc. Additionally - the front desk honored my request for a French Balcony - and our view was spectacular. Meals: All were wonderful, delicious, flavorful, fresh. We happily dined with you for every meal more than once, including a very memorable dinner. Spa: Wonderful few hours being pampered by body treatments. it was heaven.

Excellent stay, excellent staff

The property is beautiful, located on the sea. The decor is stunning. And the vegetation and fresh flowers in the hotel are delightful ! The pool is fabulous - large, clean, perfectly heated. And the service is by far the best we have ever experienced. We are fortunate to have stayed in Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton’s and small boutique hotels. The service here is the best! Florio Restaurant for dinner and breakfast was wonderful, as was Alicetta for lunch. One night we hung out at the bar…..is there a more beautiful bar anywhere? We only stayed four nights as we were moving onto other parts of Sicily. We so wish it was longer to enjoy the staff and property.

From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly staff that made me feel right at home. The service throughout my stay was nothing short of outstanding. The team went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my experience was perfect The hotel is gorgeous. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fantastic, offering a wide range of delicious dishes. Breakfasts were fresh and varied, and dinners were beautifully presented and equally tasty.

The villa is beautifully appointed and the staff are attentive. We particularly enjoyed the ambiance in the bar.
