To Alpitour the Cinisi Florio Park Hotel

Cinisi Florio Park Hotel, a resort just a few kilometres from Palermo and its intercontinental airport, changed hands. The resort has been bought by VOIhotels, the hôtellerie division of Alpitour World, which will name it VOI Florio Resort. Alpitour will invest 20 million between the acquisition of the property and the renovation work. The transaction was dictated by the desire to increase the offer in Sicily where the tour operator already has three resorts and three hotels in the VRetreats collection, as well as the development of synergies with the Alpitour World ecosystem. Thanks to its strategic location, just 8 kilometres from Palermo airport, VOI Florio Resort, in fact, strengthens the collaboration with the Tour Operating division, also entering the offer of the Group's main brands, and with the airline Neos, which from June 2024 introduced the direct Palermo-New York flight with two weekly frequencies, recording very positive performances.

The property immediately enters the VOIhotels offer and will be revamped from the 2027 summer season, with the aim of further enriching the beach proposals in Sicily through experiences dedicated to wellness, sport and family holidays. "The acquisition of VOI Florio Resort," explains Paolo Terrinoni, CEO VOIhotels, "is part of a path of expansion and investment that we are pursuing with the aim of expanding our presence in the main Italian leisure destinations and upgrading existing structures. The Group's deep-rooted tradition in hospitality, capable of attracting national and international clients also thanks to strong synergies with the other divisions, makes Alpitour World a point of reference for investors and operators interested in enhancing the value of their assets".

The resort is a four-star hotel and is set in a four-hectare park overlooking the coast of western Sicily. There are 21 buildings of which 17 have 210 rooms on one or two floors. The central building has a lobby, bar and a panoramic restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea. A short path leads to the concession beach with sunbeds. The hotel also has, among other things, a swimming pool with a whirlpool and a children's pool, a 350-square-metre SPA with wellness paths and treatment areas, and a 400-person conference centre. Sports facilities include three tennis courts, a multi-purpose court for volleyball and tennis, as well as archery, mini golf, bocce and table tennis.

Alpitour World's hôtellerie division now has 27 structures, including 18 VOIhotels sun & beach resorts in the most beautiful national and international locations, and 9 hotels in the VRetreats collection in various Italian cities. The VOI Florio Resort represents a new step in the growth path, based on strategic investments and an expansion of the quality of the experience offered to guests.
