Individual ratings for Verdura Golf & Spa Resort
Sprawling stand-alone resort directly by the sea in south-west Sicily, extending over 230 hectares of land. 15 km from the port of Sciaccia and 40 km from the valley of Greek temples in Agrigento.
A starkly modern interpretation of the Sicilian soul. Together with Olga Polizzi, the Head of Design of the Rocco Forte Hotel, the architect Flavio Albanese created an accomplished combination of the three natural elements sand, stone, and wood.
A 45-hole golf complex, a driving range, a golf academy, a club house including a pro shop, 3 restaurants, 3 bars, boutique stores, a 60-metre outdoor pool, a spa on 4,000 sqm including 4 large thalasso outdoor pools, indoor pool, sauna, steam room, treatment rooms, and a café, a large gym, a running track, 6 tennis courts, a kids club, while also offering the complimentary use of bicycles.
The "Buon Giorno" restaurant offers a large breakfast buffet, while aspirational Mediterranean cuisine is served at the "La Zagara" restaurant, and seafood by the poolside at the "Amare." The trattoria "Liolà" includes a pizza parlour in the old tower.
203 rooms and suites spread across several buildings and mansions, done in the simple splendour of an "ethnic chic" style. All rooms and suites come with four-poster beds, sea view, balcony or dedicated seating in the garden. Even the rooms of the lowest category have a living area of 40\_sqm. The finest place to stay, however, is in the first row directly by the golf course – with the beach just two fairways away.
Highly competent and solicitous staff at the club house and spa. Elsewhere, not everything works quite as smoothly.

Price range
Two exciting 18-hole championship courses against a magnificent scenic backdrop are a real treat for aspirational golfers. The greens and fairways are always in impeccable state, even in midsummer.
The estate is very expansive, and there are no underground connections. Depending on where you are staying, you may have quite a ways to walk in your bathrobe to get to the spa. While this presents no problem in the summertime, it may become a bit of nuisance on days when the Mistral is blowing.
