"A belle époque mansion in Palermo restored to showcase original art nouveau frescoes by Ernesto Basile alongside brighter, refreshed interiors across 100 rooms and public spaces. Guests can sip cocktails by the sea‑view pool, dine at the Florio Restaurant under chef Fulvio Pierangelini, play tennis, indulge in treatments at the Irene Forte Spa, and stroll the hotel’s gardens while remaining well positioned to explore Palermo’s cultural attractions." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
