This is a cut and paste of my google review. We had a wonderful family Holliday for two weeks in July 2023 after a good friend of ours recommended. Very quickly rebooked for this year it was so good. Excellent range of restaurants, terrific wine list, a kids. Kind we could barely keep our 13,12 and 8 year old out of. A really wide range of activities including football with World Cup legend Zambrotta, scuba, tennis, padal, two top class golf courses (I played both) and a fantastic gym and spa. To name but a few of the features. That said , what makes the place special for the people - I feel bad naming a few as the calibre of everyone we interacted with was super . Fabrizio brilliantly looked after us at breakfast and especially dinner incredibly well also providing great local recommendations. He really went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and looked after. And his wife Louisa was very lovely as well looking out for us in the morning. Serena at Liola was a star especially helping us navigate the menu with our kids allergies. We tended to eat at the pool bar often in the day where Francesco always made us feel welcome and looked after with a big smile as well . The legend that is Nando Papa selected some brilliant Sicilian wine and entertained us with stories. We enjoyed a number of the themes nights with Maurizio doing a brilliant job of those by the pool in the evening . The Sicilian themed night is a must at Liola as well. Fabiola looked after our son wonderfully at the football and Daniele at Granita was great fun encouraging us to have an extra cocktail pre dinner.

Beautiful property with gorgeous beachfront restaurant and stunning architecture. We stayed for 2 nights with a group of 12 friends. The service was rather mediocre for a 5* (and expensive) resort. The cocktail I ordered was in a cracked glass - when I pointed it out, the waiter was blazé about the incident. Never mind, that is a relatively small matter...but then we received a letter that there would be no water in our rooms for 6 hours. When the water finally returned (possibly 8 hours later), there was brown mud/sand coming out of the taps. This continued despite running the water for a long time. There was no hot water either - and even the next morning there was no water. I understand that pipes can burst without notice and such emergencies happen, so it was not the resort's fault that they had to fix the issue. However, the hotel did nothing at all to address our concerns about how to brush our teeth in brown water (eg. deliver an extra bottle of water?) and where to shower, or make us feel that they were concerned for our comfort during the stay. There was no suggestion of changing the room, or even the slightest gesture to show they cared. Upon checkout, we asked for some compensation for the uncomfortable night (no shower, only cold water the next day, brown water to brush our teeth). Nothing was offered. We asked to speak to the GM, but he "hadn't arrived yet". A very disappointing visit. PS. We played 18 holes on the East Course, and the condition of the course was not great. Fairways brown and tee boxes uneven. The greens were decent. FYI for the golfers out there - it is far off being the "Best course in Italy" as claimed.

Great staff and top class facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The restaurants in the resort were very good. We plan to be here again in the Autumn. The Pro Shop was sufficient. The golf course is splendid. We will plan a Golf vacation at the Resort.

Our stay at Verdura was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in luxury and tranquility. The resort's stunning architecture seamlessly blends with the natural beauty of its surroundings, creating an ambiance that is both elegant and serene. My children and I visited Verdura last summer and had one of the best summers of our lives. All on account to the attentiveness and kindness of the exemplary staff of the resort. To: Gianfranco, Francesca, Saverio, Roxanne, Ivana, Vicenzo P. Vicenzo S. and to all the staff at Verdura. Thank you for giving me a beautiful memory. Can't wait to see you this summer. Susan De Silva
