Villa Igiea

Art Nouveau seafront palace where a small dog can stay in alone

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Liberty-style palace on the water at Acquasanta, below Monte Pellegrino, run by Rocco Forte Hotels, with the Florio restaurant, the Igiea Terrazza bar, a spa and a pool above the sea. It's Palermo's historic grand hotel and sits a short drive from the old centre. It suits a small dog and owners who want a resort feel with the city on call.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel has its own lead-walking area in the grounds. The Parco della Favorita, Palermo's big royal park at the foot of Monte Pellegrino, is a short drive inland, and the Foro Italico seafront lawns are about 4 kilometres south along the coast road.

Best suited for

Dogs up to 12 kg, two per room, and they don't go into the restaurants, bar, spa or pool area.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs can use the common areas on a lead or in a carrier, and the hotel has an outdoor area set aside for walking them. They don't go into the restaurants, the bar, the spa, the pool area or the Sala Basile. A dog can stay in the room alone if you tell reception and hang the Do Not Disturb sign.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
