For suite guests, the Sicilian dolce vita begins in the air with “Palermo in Piper” and continues with a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Lidò Beach Club.
Guests who stay in the prestigious suites of Villa Igiea will live the ultimate Sicilian experience. The Palermo location of Rocco Forte Hotels has put its trust in the pleasure of discovery by collaborations with two new vintage inspired proposals: the experience “Palermo in Piper” and the partnership with Lidò beach club, a luxury oasis along the Addaura coastline.
Like the flight pioneers of the early 20th century, the exclusive experience “Palermo in Piper” at the annual “Le Vie dei Tesori” festival will retrace the early routes over the city aboard private three-seaters piloted by expert aviators . A true immersion in the culture of flying begins at the oldest of the Palermo airports, commissioned by the Florio family, particularly Vincenzo, who championed the "Targa Florio Aeronautica.". After a brief visit to the hangar at Boccadifalco Airport with the Aeroclub pilots, you will take a flight of approximately 20 minutes, dedicated to soaking in the breathtaking views of Mondello Bay and the city.
The second proposal of this summer season at Villa Igiea is for those who love the sea and wish to taste the spirit of the Sicilian dolce vita. From 25th May to 30th September, guests in the suites will have access to a reserved area with sunbeds, parasols and exclusive changing rooms at the Lidò Beach Club, a luxury oasis on the Addaura coast. The beach club, nestled between Monte Pellegrino and the Capo Gallo Reserve, evokes the beaches of the legendary Italian summers, with a majestic wooden platform leading guests to crystal-clear waters rich in marine ecosystems. This area is characterised by 134 karst marine caves, making it a paradise for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts.
Also available for guests in the summer of 2024 are yacht excursions departing directly from Villa Igiea's dock. Among the most picturesque routes along the northern coast of the island are those heading towards the villages of Bagheria, Castellammare del Golfo, and Cefalù.
Summer 2024 marks the start of a customisable journey through a combination of nine regions and eight hotels.
New for summer 2024, Rocco Forte Hotels are excited to announce an exclusive sports car experience spanning nine Italian regions and eight different hotels. “Italy at 100 mph” promises a memorable journey through the Italian countryside via Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati, available to be taken as a couple, a family or a group of up to forty sports cars.
The route passes through the verdant vineyards of Tuscany, exploring roads that date back to the Roman Empire, carrying on to the Eternal City of Rome and finishing in the Mediterranean paradise of Sicily. The four-wheel-excursion is available to drive independently, with a driver or with an escort vehicle upon request.
From a one-day itinerary to an epic ten-day tour, “Italy at 100 mph” offers various combinations of journey by sports car, passing through Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria, Abruzzo, Campania, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata and Sicily. After thrilling days on the road, guests can absorb the culture of each region whilst staying at a Rocco Forte Hotel. They will be hosted at Hotel Savoy in Florence; Hotel de Russie, Hotel de la Ville and Rocco Forte House in Rome; Masseria Torre Maizza in Puglia and Villa Igiea, Verdura Resort and Rocco Forte Private Villas in Sicily.
“Italy at 100 mph” is a new and exciting way to experience Italy's cultural, artistic and gastronomic heritage, allowing guests to create their own itinerary. Drivers can even star in their own movielike masterpiece, reminiscent of classic Italian cinema, with the option to employ a professional videographer and drone operator to document the journey.
