With the Tempio della Concordia lit up in the near distance and palm trees
lending an exotic Arabian-nights feel, the views from this historic five-star are magnifi-
cent. Housed in an aristocratic 18th-century villa, the hotel's interior, gleaming after a re-
cent makeover, is a picture of white, ceramic cool.
The Villa Suite, with two cavernous rooms floored in antique tiles, a freestanding jac-
uzzi tub and a vast terrace looking straight at the temples, vies for the title of coolest hotel
room in Sicily.
