Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

Wonderful place and fantastic service, we’ll definitely return back next year!!!

Most beautiful place I’ve been to in Sicily. Best food views sunsets and pools. Highly recommend

The mixology team at Bar Scirocco is absolutely outstanding! Every cocktail is crafted with creativity, precision, and a true passion for flavor. The bartenders have an incredible ability to balance classic elegance with bold, innovative twists, making each drink an experience in itself. Beyond their skill, the team creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel both relaxed and inspired to try something new. If you’re looking for world-class cocktails and top-notch hospitality, Bar Scirocco’s mixology team sets the standard.

We arrived yesterday and were underwhelmed by the property. It has a barren feel with minimal landscaping. Our room was tired with the paint chipped and the floors and furniture marked. The design of the hotel felt to me more like a bunker. The staff is lovely and thus far the food has been good. We had a relaxing day on the beach but not a place I would return to.

Deborah and Toti took special care of us every day at the golf clubhouse. It’s a little piece of Paradise. The staff are so special and the views are out of this world.i can’t wait to come back. The views over the sea are so beautiful while playing golf and having a drink in the 19th is the best on the world.

We had a short break as a family staying in one of the 3 bedroom villas which are part of the Verdura complex With the villa we had access to all the facilities of the resort plus the benefit of space and privacy of the villa. We loved having our own heated private pool and the ability to have our own breakfast, lunch and snacks if and when we wanted The villa itself was wonderful. A 3 bed villa with lovely views over the golf and resort towards the sea. Beautifully designed, extremely quiet, and with all the facilities required inside and out. We were kindly provided with 2 buggies to get to the resort - essential as it is 7 or 8 minutes away on the buggy which was fine for us. The service before and during our stay was terrific. Some of the very best I have experienced to help arrange the villa, sort out reservations and also deal with daily requests. Thank you to the brilliant Santa and the villa team We ate in several of the resort restaurants. Universally the service was terrific. The catering for gluten free was generally very good across all and excitingly they have gluten free tiramisu…so the coeliacs in my family ate as much as possible each evening Buongiorno: Breakfast here was OK. Small buffet selection with an omelette station. Other hot food could be ordered but it’s a pretty limited offering and OK on quality but good service Amare: Superb seafood selection. I had red prawns which were made into a Sicilian sauce with pasta which was one of the best pasta dishes I have eaten Zagara : extremely good. Lovely atmosphere and service. L’Osteria: more casual than others. Good food and experience Liola: Probably the one we enjoyed least on quality and atmosphere but that was probably as we ate there after a day of travelling. We played golf on all 3 courses. The East course is by far the best on set up and design. A real challenge. The West course has some beautiful holes on the sea but is more a set of straight holes. The executive course is in very poor condition on the greens but was ok to hit a few balls around. The staff at the pro-shop and caddy shop were great Beach: as noted by other reviewers it’s not much of a beach sand wise with lots of shingle to get into water (a mat walkway is installed) and as it was a bit windy was red flagged a couple of days Padel and Tennis: enjoyed a game here. Padel courts new and great condition Gym: excellent facility with good mix of weights and cardio. Open 24 hours Overall we had a superb time and highly recommended
