Top Italian Hotels & Resorts 2024

g o lf The waters of the Mediterranean skim the almost 2 km of private coast, in a breathtaking contrast between the intense blue of the sea and the green of the surrounding vegetation. On the outskirts of Sciacca, an ancient fishing village in south-western Sicily, the Verdura Resort extends within a park of 230 hectares of uncontaminated nature, dotted with orange and olive trees. This is a place far from everything, immersed in silence and designed for those looking for the best green, which at Verdura was designed by the famous Californian archistar Kyle Phillips. Two golf courses with 18 holes and one with 9 offer every gaming experience, even for the most demanding golfers. To complete the sporting vocation, the Resort offers 6 clay tennis courts, a soccer field and a 60-meter infinity pool. The strong character of the island inspires the architecture with its square and minimal lines. Natural materials such as stone and wood together with the warm colors of ocher and terracotta recall the typical Sicilian residences and blend with the harsh and wild beauty of the place. The majolica, mosaics and objects of local craftsmanship are the common thread between the external and internal spaces, where you can breathe the Sicilian tradition - although with extremely contemporary touches. All the 203 rooms and suites face the sea and have minimalist and elegant furnishings. Every detail is taken care of with meticulous passion. Brushstrokes of violet and ocher, in contrast with the white of the walls, make the atmosphere warm, intimate and enveloping. Twenty exclusive villas with private pools and jacuzzis are available for those in search of absolute privacy. The various and refined gastronomic offer of Verdura is enriched by the choice of strictly seasonal ingredients, the extreme attention to the cooking mode and the exquisite combinations of flavors. Besides the simple and rustic style of the Liolà, a typical Sicilian trattoria where it is possible to taste the most authentic and traditional dishes of the island, you should try the refined Zagara, the ideal location to taste seafood delicacies.
