In much more than name, Rocco Forte Hotels is the Forte family. At its head are Sir Rocco, his sister Olga and

his three children. Behind it are four generations of Forte hoteliers. It is in every way a family business; a shared love evident

in every Rocco Forte hotel – each exuding the Forte’s innate Anglo-Italian style, sophistication and warmth.

Verdura – a paradisiacal expanse on Sicily’s stunning south-west coast – is their flagship resort. 230 hectares of sun-blushed

Mediterranean coastline, countryside and hotel: space for the Forte ethos to shine. Insightful hospitality quietly caters to every desire.

Sleek, environmentally sensitive architecture fuses with Latin terracottas, ochres and violets. Local charm with universal style.

Italianate furnishings, breeze-brushed white muslins and, always, a sea view.

Verdura’s vast scale and escapist atmosphere afford endless indulgence and choice. Choice to unfurl in its capacious spa, or lap its infinity pool. To play tennis among its orange groves. A round or two of golf. To master Sicilian cooking, or simply savour it by

the sea. To explore Verdura’s 12th-century tower; helicopter across Etna; or stroll along its private beach. It’s your decision, at the

Fortes’ invitation.

The Verdura links: two world-class, 18-hole courses and a par-3 course designed by Kyle Phillips, plus a double-ended driving range and golf academy

“Our championship golf courses host the European Tour and, as a golfer myself, it is great to see the professionals rise to the challenge” Sir Rocco Forte

Three opulent villas in Verdura’s rolling grounds enjoy private pools, courtyards and uninterrupted sea views

“My inspiration always starts with the place. I found Sicily strong, wild and earthy; this is reflected in the masculine forms, hot colours and simple, elegant furnishings” Olga Polizzi

Rooms, suites and villas seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living, designed by architect Flavio Albanese to capitalise on their sublime setting

Fresh seafood at waterfront Amare restaurant: fish comes daily from the local market, oil from Verdura’s own gardens

Simple, authentic fare and sweeping sea views from the clifftop terrace at traditional Sicilian trattoria Liolà

“Verdura Spa is our flagship, inspired by Sicily’s natural beauty – think salt water, olive oil, volcanic mud, Sicilian herbs, fruits and flowers” Irene Forte

Wellness is at the heart of Verdura Resort, with advanced treatments, programmes and thalassotherapy from its 4,000m2 spa

Organic olive oil and plant essences from Verdura’s garden are the base for Forte Organics, the botanical products used in Rocco Forte Spas
