The staff is extremely well trained to make you feel welcomed and in serene. No bossing you around or telling you can't do this can't do that. Very friendly staff, super service all around, gorgeous room, amazing views, gorgeous golf course. Of course all the restaurants in the grounds are over priced, but that is to expect. If you are adventurer and have a vehicle I would recommend to check out the near by towns and restaurants for your meals. Overall, Great experience, from the moment you drive in to the property.

This comes about a year and a half late, but I wanted to provide a review of our outstanding…read morehoneymoon spent at Verdura in October of 2022. This resort is the ultimate escape. The property is beautiful and sprawling - easy and fun to explore with the inclusion of free bikes everywhere. My husband and I enjoyed riding the bikes around the winding trails across the property and using them to get from our room to the restaurants, bars, pool, and gym on property. The pool was beautiful, as was the beach. So many wonderful places to sit outside, relax, and enjoy the scenery. The gym was very large and well equipped. I do regret not taking advantage of the spa services as the entire spa/fitness complex was very serene. Service was outstanding. Ambiance was incredible. Rooms were luxurious (particularly the bathrooms!). The resort is so sprawling that no one part of it ever felt crowded. It truly felt like we had so much privacy. My only complaint is that food prices in the seafood restaurant were a little high for food that was just ok. But we thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant and patio in the main building, as well as a more casual dining option near the golf clubhouse. All in all, I wish we would have spent more of our honeymoon at Verdura. Our stay seemed far too short. Final thoughts - an excellent, romantic getaway for couples, but I suspect this place is also a family paradise in the summer months. There seems to be a lot of programming and activities for children.

Very nice restored villa. The views of the Valley of the Temples are outstanding. The pool and…read morethe grounds are beautiful and well manicured. Lots of safe parking. Their restaurant is amazing and the food is great. 5 stars for the service, beds, and especially the towels, some of the best towels I've ever used. The missing 5th star is because of the noise in the room. You can hear other sounds from surrounding guests, talking, showers, toilets flushing etc. It's a 200 year old building so perfection in this area can't be expected, just thought it was worth mentioning.

So nice we extended our stay to make it the base of our wine tasting activities to Planeta winery, Feudo Arancio winery, and others in tbe Sambuca di Sicila area. Typical Italian style where a huge breakfast is included in the price and I noticed mostly italian, French and German guests. Great for families, helpful staff and clean facilities that are all brand new. Couldn't recommend it more, we will be back!

The staff couldn't do enough for us. The outdoor spaces are amazing. The restaurant and bar offer well shaded dining areas with an ocean view. It's a lot of fun to linger over the excellent breakfast or a cocktail. The poolside area is ringed with lounge chairs and attentive staff. At first I was concerned because the hotel is located outside of downtown Palermo. There are shuttles that drop you off downtown. It was actually a relief to be at a quiet location away from the crowded city center. Rooms are expensive, but staying here is an indulgence. It's well worth the splurge.

Style and class is combined with a relaxed approach and a beauty that stuns you. Palermo at its best. And you can in fact stay here without ruining yourself. The building, the garden, the sea embrace you, having breakfast, lunch and dinner or just a late night walk. Top class in every dimension. Highly recommended for all of us. Sad to say this kind of experience probably will not last for ever...
