Rocco Forte Hotels has announced its partnership with Italy’s FAI – Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano, a non-profit foundation dedicated to preserving Italy’s historical, artistic and natural heritage.
This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to enriching the cultural value of destinations while promoting a more responsible and sustainable model of tourism. Together, Rocco Forte Hotels and FAI aim to protect the beauty of Italy’s historic and natural landmarks while encouraging guests to discover authentic, lesser-known places beyond the usual tourist routes.
For Rocco Forte Hotels, Italy’s historic palaces and estates act as powerful storytellers, blending authentic design and personalised service to reflect the rich nuances of Italian culture. This enduring commitment has long set the Hotel group apart and is now further strengthened through its collaboration with FAI. As part of this partnership, Rocco Forte Hotels offers curated itineraries for guests visiting Milan, Rome and Sicily.
In Milan, guests can visit the elegant Art Deco Villa Necchi Campiglio, from where they can reach the splendid Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como in only one hour. In Rome, the Villa Gregoriana park in Tivoli combines striking natural beauty with archaeological significance, while Sicily is home to the paradisiacal Kolymbetra Garden in Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples. Thanks to the invaluable support of FAI, guests will enjoy privileged access to sites in Rome and Palermo, many of which are usually closed to the public or difficult to access.
Rocco Forte Hotels’ support for FAI strengthens the group’s positioning and reflects its commitment to actively promoting its core values, creating distinctive and authentic experiences for guests by:
- building meaningful partnerships with cultural institutions that champion artistic heritage, offering guests exclusive access through private visits;
- infusing hotel spaces through the arts, with customised suites, artists in residence programmes and the creation of site-specific works;
- forging meaningful connections across the city and surrounding areas to curate diverse itineraries that highlight Italy’s cultural, natural and culinary heritage.
