Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

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

It’s is a Very nice resort, restaurant,bar, golf, spa etc. everything well.

I stayed two nights here in April. An amazing service from everyone in this Verdura flagship hotel. We were met by a smiling concierge and our car was parked away while all our luggage was taken into the room when it was prepared. Filippo at the reception gave me good recommendations of the towns to see locally and helped to book Al Faro , a fantastic fish restaurant in Sciaccia. We stayed in the delux room facing the sea. It was beautiful and very quiet. The bed and the pillows were super comfortable and I had the best sleep ever! The room service was superb and very attentive to detail. I visited an indoor pool which was clean and in a nice setting, there were also 4 more pools outside for thalassotherapy. The hotel operated the booking slot system (to last 1;30hrs) but these facilities are free. It was easy to book the time slot that I needed. The breakfast has many choices ready to pick and a menu with a few free meals and a few to pay for). I tried local dishes for breakfast and they were very all good. The waitress that helped us was brilliant, very attentive to detail and helpful. Can’t recommend this place enough. If money is not an issue, it’s a really great place to stay.

As a single woman who likes to travel, I signed up for a food and wine tour in Sicily with Modern Adventures. The group was small, and our guide, Alice was amazing. Built into the schedule was free time. A couple of my independent evenings were at Verdura Resort, a place in Sicily that sits at a location so tranquilizing, I wish I could have stayed longer. One evening, I hopped on a bike. They are located all over the property and are free so it was so easy to explore in a leisurely way. I ended up at the aptly named Sunset Bar, where I enjoyed a glass of wine with snacks while watching a colorful sunset. As the evening chilled, a man showed up and handed over a blanket to keep me warm. It was that cozy! Another evening, a number of us dined at L’Osteria. I was envious of some of the dishes ordered by others, and even though there are other restaurants, I went back by myself to L’Osteria to have another try at the wonderful menu. The bar seating was quiet, and to honest, as an introvert who likes to travel, sitting alone at the bar was a perfect respite from the busier days we had. I can say the bar sat a little high, and they should change the chairs to accommodate people who choose to sit there. But the food and wine more than made up for it. It was nice that Jouseffe, Marco and Noemi spoke English and were able to indulge me with short conversations about the food and wine. It was obvious there was pride in their food and the area itself. And they seemed impressed that I was able to say the artichoke broth that came with the perfectly cooked artichokes had a hint of fennel. I do love food! I probably ordered more food that I should have, but I don't even regret it. And I did eat it all! Would I go back to Sicily? Most definitely. I will just be building in more time for an extended stay at Verdura Resort, which was very comfortable for me, as a single person, but looked like it was popular with families and couples too.

Great service. Made a fun drink just based on the flavors I said I enjoyed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The complimentary cookies were tasty and cute. The bar was a great place to have a drink and relax after dinner. I would recommend it!

We visited Verdure Resort in March 2025, and it was truly breathtaking. This expansive resort boasts a stunning golf course, several exceptional restaurants, and panoramic views of the sea, all surrounded by lush greenery. Although we didn’t stay at the resort, we dined at two of its restaurants—L’Osteria and Liolà—both of which were fantastic. The decor was elegant, the ambiance was inviting, and the food and drinks were outstanding. We enjoyed a selection of dishes and beverages, including Beer, Negroni cocktail, Margherita pizzas, French Fries, Coffee and Tiramisu—everything was absolutely delicious! The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient, and the service was impeccable. Without a doubt, Verdure Resort is one of the most beautiful resorts I’ve visited anywhere in the world. We are already looking forward to returning, and next time, we’ll be staying to fully experience all it has to offer.
