What the classifiers highlight
Ernesto Basile built this bayside villa in the early 1900s, and Rocco Forte's 2020 restoration returned it to his Liberty style, Sicily's own art nouveau, while updating the 100 rooms. Terraces and gardens run down to the water, the Irene Forte Spa fills four treatment rooms, and three restaurants include the grand Ristorante Florio.
