Pool Suite Iris – Verdura

Villa Iris is stylish and inviting, offering contemporary comforts and exquisite luxury in equal measure. Pops of colour in the soft furnishings of the indoor courtyard evoke local gelsi (mulberries), while during the season, blossom from the citrus tree lightly scents the space. Out on the sea-facing terraces, the views of the Mediterranean catch the eye and the cool turquoise water of the private pool beckons

Facing the beachfront, this 156sq m suite has a grand living area that opens up to the gardens, where there’s a private terrace with an alfresco dining area, a 7-metre pool, a hammock, and sun loungers. The views extend over the resort’s golf course to the beach and glittering Mediterranean beyond. Inside, there’s a comfortable sitting area, a dining table, a kitchenette and an internal courtyard, which makes the perfect spot for secluded sunbathing or reading. Each of the bedrooms has a four-poster bed, a spacious living area and a stone ensuite bathroom with twin sinks, a sunken bath tub and a walk-in shower. There’s an additional bathroom off the living area. Other features include an in-villa bar; free WiFi; flatscreen TV; Nespresso coffee machine; a selection of teas; and Ortigia bath products. Suite guests also get return transfers from Palermo of Trapani; two golf carts; a welcome bottle of champagne; a private beach cabana; concierge service; packing and unpacking service; a Jet Lag Reviver experience for two at the spa; and an introduction to Sicily and help planning trips from U Canuscituri, the resort’s authority on the island and its traditions.
