Built by visionary Sicilian architect Ernesto Basile for the family Florio, the historical Villa epitomises Palermo's Liberty movement and is undoubtedly the most distinguished of the era.

Before its grand opening in Summer 2020, this majestic listed palazzo will undergo an extensive refurbishment at the hands of Rocco Forte Hotels' Director of Design, Olga Polizzi.
