Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is a top class 5 star resort, should be.
On the positive side: very well trained, very nice staff who are available to answer any questions you may have. All processes are extremely standardized, nothing is left to chance. The rooms are very large, well equipped, nothing is missing here and everything is prepared so that the guest feels welcome and comfortable. The arrangement of the individual guest houses and the entire complex is architecturally excellent, the complex is spacious and spacious, the external and internal appearance of all buildings follows a uniform line, the color scheme is predominantly beige or earth-colored, much of it is decorated in local natural stone. The rooms have spacious balconies or terraces. The balconies have seating and a table, the terraces also have loungers. The view of the sea from all rooms is breathtaking.
The breakfast is richly presented and everyone will find something to their taste to start the day. The staff is very attentive, friendly and quick. Many bicycles are available on site to bridge the sometimes stately paths. Here the technical staff could look a little more carefully and remove the "corpses" without air on the tires and without a saddle from traffic and repair them.
SPA: the pool is spacious, I would say almost 25 meters long, the water is at a good temperature. The Thalasso outdoor pools are architecturally well done and varied. A nice opportunity to relax in the water pools of different temperatures or just sunbathe on the loungers. The hammam is beautifully designed and very spacious.
On the negative side: the golf course was a bit unkempt at the beginning of the season, March 24th. Bunkers, greens and fairways urgently need more attention and special care. What is disappointing is the fact that the 19th hole appears to be closed. No refreshment is possible in the bar immediately after the round! The older trolleys need to be sorted out. On the first day I had a copy that constantly wanted to drive to the right, but otherwise it was a pretty rusty rattle machine. But there are also other trolleys, type JuCad/TiCad, so it works.
Another point of criticism is the pricing in the bar/terrace area. A simple club sandwich for €34, I don't think I've ever seen that before, a few slices of toast with garnish. The prices for a small bottle of beer (around €9) or wine are also exorbitant. A cocktail, not very big and opulent, 17€, the prices are not even found in chic cocktail bars in big cities. The amount charged for the minibar in the room is also too high. If you really need that as a contribution margin, it's better to make the room prices more expensive and the extras cheaper. Otherwise this will annoy the guests. I also think that lower prices would bring more sales overall.
The seafood restaurant on the beach has a fantastic range of seafood. Unfortunately the map is only available in Italian. Dear management! Not everyone in this world speaks Italian!
SPA: The sauna does not meet any standard, the benches are much too narrow, approx. 60 cm, the sauna cabin is also much too small, the temperature is too cool, approx. below 70°C, the oven has not been serviced for years, it is lying only stone dust as a muddy mass between the heating elements, maybe that's why the sauna heater doesn't bring a different temperature?
We enjoyed the stay. Thanks

Fantastic hotel by the sea, which does not have a beach, although it may seem like it. Ideal for golfers and sports practitioners in general. Great route for walking or cycling. Very correct spa. Theme restaurants in the complex. The service in general very pleasant and efficient. A waiter at the bar, very similar to the great comedian Don Rickles, delighted us, without even asking us, with some stories about gangsters, gunshots, and corpses in the trunk, which, if I were not a fan of crime novels, would have made me cringe. tip.

Marvelous! We had to defer our trip in July until October because the celebrant, my son in law, was in the ICU the day before departure with Verdura being our first reservation. Not only were Verdura employees compassionate when I called to cancel but also upon arrival in November, they upgraded us to their best Villa which was absolutely lovely. The view was expansive and the restaurants were excellent as was the service. Everything possible was done to enhance our visit. Definitely include this property on your itinerary!!!

Incredible resort in a quiet and beautiful part of Sicily. Amazing facilities from restaurants to spa to pools to gym to golf and to rooms. The spa plunge pools are incredibly special. Special bonus was a real world-class Muay Thai instructor. Wonderful service throughout. Only thing to keep in mind is that you will likely stay on the resort for most food options, but there is good variety. Also not so far from Planeta winery, so make sure to book the wine tour! (it's a world class winery and is recently famous from a tv show).

Krásné místo s krásným hřištěm, no přístup do moře nic moc. Personál byl perfektní, milý a ochotný. Co mě v tomto resortu štve, jsou ceny za jídlo a pití, velmi přestřelené. Podle mého názoru, by si měli zákazníky v resortu držet a ne je kvůli cenám za jídlo vyhánět z resortu pryč. Toto celé kazí dojem z celého místa.

Beautiful resort located in an enchanting corner of Sicily. Offers numerous options both in terms of water sports but also padel, football, tennis and of course golf. The service is up to the category, the restaurants are good but breakfast is the highlight of the dining experience. The rooms, as often happens in Italy, would need to be renovated to make them modern and in line with the category of the hotel.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful beach, golf course, pool and spa areas. It was never crowded. Very accommodating and caring staff from the moment we arrived. There were plenty of golf carts and bikes to get around the resort as well.
Deborah from the guest experiences team deserves special mention. She helped me setup several delightful surprises for my wife, since this was our first stop of our honeymoon. Deborah also connected us with a fantastic local photographer. During the photoshoot, she drove us around the resort in a golf cart to make sure we got plenty of time at all of the most beautiful locations. She translated for us and the photographer the whole time. Thank you Deborah for going above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay!
