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.

First the good... overall the staff is incredibly attentive and do a very good job of making your entire stay feel special - the Bar Granita Mixology crew really shines (thanks especially to Marco!). The location and views are absolutely amazing. Now the downside... I would not rate this as a 5-star resort. The saltwater wear and tear shows around the property and it could use a facelift, especially in the shared areas and the spa. Additionally, after paying 200 euros for a round of golf, a cart and clubs, the golf clubs had dried dirt and grass caked on them. When my husband asked for something to clean them with, he was told he could buy a golf towel in the pro shop. The drought conditions are all on Mother Nature, but the dirty clubs are on the golf staff.

Unfortunately we had only a one night stay at this lovely hotel and golf resort in Sciacca. The property is spacious and beautiful - overlooking the ocean - perfect value for money - the kind which is unheard of in a lot of countries. The shops on the premises are lovely and so is the restaurant - Zagara. I think we had our best meal at Zagara during this entire Sicily trip - the freshest salt crusted sea bass, beef fillet with béarnaise sauce and melt in your mouth pumpkin ravioli with truffle shavings. A big shout out to Fredrica at Zagara for making our meal so memorable! She was the sweetest, along with the rest of the staff members at Zagara restaurant. Thanks team! I have now started to believe in the consistency and performance of Rocco Forte hotels. The service, the rooms, the baths - they are all perfect - top class luxury that is hard to find at a reasonable price anywhere else in the world. The husband too enjoyed a fun round of golf at the course with blue skies and blue sea. The breakfast spread is nice too - they served us fresh orange juice from their gardens - what a treat. We were sad to leave in just a day!

Beautiful hotel with first class service. My favourite place is Bar Granita for a cocktail while watching the amazing sunsets! Danielle and the Mixology Team are the best, I travel alone for work and they always look after me. I’m looking forward to coming back soon for another G&T!

This was our fifth stop on our swing through Sicily, and we stayed five nights in a nice junior suite. The highlight of our stay was the friendly and helpful staff at every location. Starting with a thorough housekeeping staff and followed by the dining team, the pool and beach crew and the valets. We dined at every restaurant and breakfast was great but the pizza at Liolas was the best on the island. We had a wonderful cooking class and Paolo, Guiseppe and Jon were the best. The Spa too was a nice change on the cooler days. We are not golfers so we wanted to relax by the pool and beach while here. The pools are huge and amazing but also very chilly. A large hot jacuzzi would have been nice. Given the remote location we opted for the Half board meal choice and were generally pleased. It did surprise us that some items only a few euros more would have been charged at 50% more. This made zero sense to us. Our first entry to the resort required a retrace since it is a very obscure entrance for such a large resort. But after we had no trouble returning from the nearby town of Sciacca.
