Rocco Forte Private Villas

The East Course made for a great day out from Palermo, with lovely scenery and a good challenge. It was a bit dry, though the hot weather explains that. Tom the pro was especially helpful: after my ledge broke earlier in the trip, he repaired it and lent me his own. The staff were great, and two of our group also had a good time using the resort facilities on a day pass. Well worth playing if you're in Sicily.

My wife and I are wrapping up our honeymoon at Verdura, and we'd both happily come back. She loved the spa treatment, and I enjoyed the West Course, although it wasn't in great shape because of the drought. The facilities were excellent, and the staff kept smiling while putting in long, hard hours. It's a fantastic place, and we'd absolutely recommend it. Just bring your wallet!

We spent nine days at RF Verdura and were impressed by the attentive, friendly staff. Many seem to have been there for years, and that experience shows in the care they give guests. The location, facilities, and service were all exceptional. Head sommelier Nando Papa was a real professional. We'll be back.

Verdura hotel Rocco Fořte Sicilia is in a magical setting, and the beach is clean and well cared for, with pleasant water for swimming and good service. Inside, the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, with air conditioning, kept fresh and clean with impeccable service. The restaurants were excellent from breakfast through dinner, with fresh, beautifully presented food. Staff were kind, professional, and attentive throughout. I'd gladly return and recommend it for comfort, luxury, and Sicilian hospitality.
