Beautiful property with gorgeous beachfront restaurant and stunning architecture. We stayed for 2 nights with a group of 12 friends. The service was rather mediocre for a 5* (and expensive) resort. The cocktail I ordered was in a cracked glass - when I pointed it out, the waiter was blazé about the incident. Never mind, that is a relatively small matter...but then we received a letter that there would be no water in our rooms for 6 hours. When the water finally returned (possibly 8 hours later), there was brown mud/sand coming out of the taps. This continued despite running the water for a long time. There was no hot water either - and even the next morning there was no water. I understand that pipes can burst without notice and such emergencies happen, so it was not the resort's fault that they had to fix the issue. However, the hotel did nothing at all to address our concerns about how to brush our teeth in brown water (eg. deliver an extra bottle of water?) and where to shower, or make us feel that they were concerned for our comfort during the stay. There was no suggestion of changing the room, or even the slightest gesture to show they cared. Upon checkout, we asked for some compensation for the uncomfortable night (no shower, only cold water the next day, brown water to brush our teeth). Nothing was offered. We asked to speak to the GM, but he "hadn't arrived yet". A very disappointing visit. PS. We played 18 holes on the East Course, and the condition of the course was not great. Fairways brown and tee boxes uneven. The greens were decent. FYI for the golfers out there - it is far off being the "Best course in Italy" as claimed.

Great staff and top class facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The restaurants in the resort were very good. We plan to be here again in the Autumn. The Pro Shop was sufficient. The golf course is splendid. We will plan a Golf vacation at the Resort.

Our stay at Verdura was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in luxury and tranquility. The resort's stunning architecture seamlessly blends with the natural beauty of its surroundings, creating an ambiance that is both elegant and serene. My children and I visited Verdura last summer and had one of the best summers of our lives. All on account to the attentiveness and kindness of the exemplary staff of the resort. To: Gianfranco, Francesca, Saverio, Roxanne, Ivana, Vicenzo P. Vicenzo S. and to all the staff at Verdura. Thank you for giving me a beautiful memory. Can't wait to see you this summer.

Enjoyed a wonderful stay as part of our incentive travel program, a highlight of which was the excellent mixology class led by Christian. Really well structured, entertaining and informative. It really made the trip and enhanced our stay where staff and service were excellent.

5* experience - stayed with a friend for 3n 3 rounds of golf on the excellent East & West courses. Room was great, spacious and excellent amenities and turn down service. All rooms seem to have a fantastic sea view which is lovely. The outdoor pool was cold and not heated but the spa made up for this with 4 outdoor hydrotherapy pools and a superb indoor lap pool. Excellent (huge) steam room with saunas in respective changing rooms. The service at all bars and restaurants was outstanding - the fresh fish options at Amare were great, and all dishes were excellent. At the bar, restaurant, reception and club house all staff were friendly and helpful. The golf courses were in good condition, East with more hazards and nice layout and the West with more signature holes along the coastline. Few things for improvement with the golf; Carts had no gps - would expect it 2/3 days no starter at the hut Distance markers not very clear No drinks buggy service in 3 rounds! No halfway house Clubs not cleaned Golf clubhouse closed for refurb Course was quiet in April which was a bonus - rounds within 4 hours for 2 with a buggy. However post round drinks at the hotel terrace were fabulous. 3 great restaurants, casual bar, hotel restaurant and Amare beach restaurant. Not much to do locally without a car and travelling at least 20 mins to nearby towns - however the hotel is a perfect resort location for rest & relaxation, golf or spa. Appeared to be good facilities for kids with kids club with small pool, basketball, volleyball, football, tennis and an imported sandy beach (rest is rocky). Would happily return!
