Pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner are reportedly planning an extravagant wedding at Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel in Sicily, according to The Times. The pair vacationed on the island last summer between tour dates and shoots, and their stops around Sicily quickly went viral.
Patrick Lanzino, manager of the bar Botteghe Coletti where the couple visited, told The Times: “She drank Campari soda, he drank an Old Fashioned, and they ate olives while playing cards. She was very sweet and they seemed like a normal couple. A few people asked her for a picture. We asked her if it bothered her and she said no. She was used to it—not a problem.”
Villa Igiea has a long history: the Florio family bought the property from English admiral Sir William Domville in 1899. Originally named Villa Domville, the estate was intended to become a sanatorium after a family illness, but the Florios instead transformed it into a luxury hotel built to international standards.
Today Villa Igiea welcomes guests with spacious bedrooms and suites, many offering sweeping views of the Mediterranean. Onsite restaurants serve authentic Italian cuisine overlooking the sea, and the Irene Forte Spa provides restorative treatments beside a shimmering pool. The hotel’s restored palatial rooms, Art Nouveau details, marble and warm woods combine with a celebrated cocktail terrace—where evenings come alive to piano music and elegant crowds—to create a timeless, glamorous setting.
