Coinciding with the announcement of the reopening of its three refined structures in Sicily, Rocco Forte Hotels has prepared news to make summer 2023 even more unforgettable. Not only a restyling but also a portfolio of unique experiences, also dedicated to children
Are you thinking about the next summer holidays and have you chosen Sicily as your destination? Here are the news of the 3 Rocco Forte Hotels structures in Trinachia.
1 Verdura Resort presents itself in a new guise following an important restyling that involved the rooms and suites. The renovation project was curated by Olga Polizzi, director of design of Rocco Forte Hotels.
It is inspired by the luxuriance of the surrounding nature and the artisan tradition. And, moreover, to local products and the rich cultural heritage of western Sicily. So here are the color palettes and materials used for the interior décor. Here cedar yellow, burnt orange and rust red are combined with elements in stone, wood and local ceramics.
Starting in March, the academies return with the champions of the sport such as the Golf Academy for adults and children led by a team of PGA certified professionals. While starting from 7 April the Tennis Academy will see the Swede Mikael Tillstrom as the protagonist of the first round of the season.
2 The Rocco Forte Private Villas, the elegant independent residences immersed in the 230-hectare Verdura estate, instead inaugurate a series of exclusive services.
For example themed parties in the villa for children with Sea Kingdom, Circus or Jungle Animals themed arrangements. And then movie nights under the stars by the pool to enjoy your favorite film accompanied by popcorn and champagne.
In addition, private dinners in the villa with menus ranging from authentic Sicilian recipes to iconic dishes from Verdura to Barbecue Nights. Finally, the unprecedented experience of horseback riding to explore the estate and the private beach from a unique perspective.
3 In Palermo, Villa Igiea inaugurates the White Lotus Experience. It allows you to discover some of the most iconic locations where the cult series was filmed.
In Cefalù guests can choose whether to go on excursions, visits to places of art, discover the local gastronomy or relax on the beach in the picturesque bay of the village.
From here the tour continues to Villa Tasca, the enchanting sixteenth-century villa where Daphne and Harper spend the night alone (which in the series is located in Noto but is actually located between Palermo and Monreale) immersed in an 8-hectare park and surrounded by one of the most emblematic gardens of 19th century Sicilian Romanticism.
At the end of the day, the return to Villa Igiea is crowned by an exclusive evening at the Igiea Terrace Bar. In fact, the dinner of the second episode with Jake and Portia as protagonists is set here.
The tasting begins with The White Lotus cocktail – created for filming last year in the hotel – which anticipates a menu that is a faithful reproduction of what appeared on the screen.
The new Cluster General Manager for the region is Isidoro di Franco.
With important experiences managing 5-star luxury hotels in Italy and Austria, di Franco returns to his Palermo with the aim of supervising the management and implementing the success of Villa Igiea, the Verdura Resort and the Rocco Forte Private Villas.
