Daniel, who checked us in, is AMAZING!! Friendly, professional and had the most wonderful suggestions for restaurants to have dinner. We chose one of his recommendations, Kokalos, which offers spectacular view of Temples, delicious food and excellent service!! Daniel put us in the best room which overlooked the garden and the view of the illuminated Temples at night was very romantic! The bed was huge and VERY comfortable! WiFi and buffet breakfast with tons of tasty selections are included! The bathroom was spacious and had a higher pressured shower than other places we've stayed. The prices are very reasonable and the proximity to the tourist areas is convenient! I highly recommend this boutique hotel for your next visit to the area! ----------------------------------------- Abbiamo deciso di fare un viaggio nella Valle dei Templi mentre eravamo in Sicilia. L'abbiamo trovato su un'app di viaggio e abbiamo deciso di provarlo per le recensioni positive! SONO COSÌ FELICE che l'abbiamo fatto. Daniel, che ci ha fatto il check-in, è STRAORDINARIO!! Cordiale, professionale e ci ha dato i migliori suggerimenti sui ristoranti in cui cenare. Abbiamo scelto uno dei suoi consigli, Kokalos, che offre una vista spettacolare sui Templi, cibo delizioso e un servizio eccellente!! Daniel ci ha messo nella stanza migliore che si affacciava sul giardino e la vista dei Templi illuminati di notte era molto romantica! Il letto era enorme e MOLTO comodo! WiFi e colazione a buffet con tonnellate di gustose selezioni sono inclusi! Il bagno era spazioso e aveva una doccia con una pressione più alta rispetto ad altri posti in cui abbiamo soggiornato. I prezzi sono molto ragionevoli e la vicinanza alle zone turistiche è comoda! Consiglio vivamente questo boutique hotel per la vostra prossima visita in zona!

This is a very nice property with an excellent dining room and patio. The rooms are spacious and…read morewell appointed. The staff are well trained, helpful, and efficient. Best of all, it is but short walk to one of the entrances to the Valley of the Temples and also a reasonable walk to the city center. It was a shame to only have one night here. Maybe someday to return.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Verdura Resort, and I must say it was an absolutely…read morefantastic experience from start to finish. 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.

Lovely family run B&B that could be first rate with a few improvements. Our room was a nice size…read morebut lacking in some basic creature comforts. There was no place to sit comfortably- save a table with chairs and a single bed pressed against the wall. No carpets or rugs on the brick cement floor to protect from the cold. A small bathroom without a stopper for the sink, a nice shower with plenty of hot water though. No tissues anywhere. Our towels were not replaced the next day but hung up by the shower- I put them outside to dry in the sun but skipped the shower as it was too cold in the room. The breakfast was nice, eggs were made to order and the croissants were authentic. We did have dinner our first night where all the guests sat at one table. The guests were interesting but the food was not- so salty we could not eat it- and it took almost 4 hours to serve. My husband left at 10 and I left at 10:30 before dessert was served!

I recently booked two rooms at this hotel and, unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had…read morehoped for. I booked the presidential suite room 201, and was extremely let down upon arrival. The room was outdated, showing signs of wear and tear that suggested it hadn't been remodeled in decades. For the hefty price of $2,400 a night, I expected a much more luxurious and not dated room. My other room 101 was actually nicer and 1/2 the price. After expressing my concerns, the staff did offer me a different room 105 that had been remodeled, although it was not a suite. While I appreciated the effort, it was disappointing to have to downgrade when I had specifically booked a suite for that price. They mentioned they would speak to the booking agency regarding the price difference or possibly cover my dinner as compensation. However, at the end of my stay, I was surprised to find that nothing was taken off my bill. The hotel is situated in an amazing location. However, the outdated rooms and the lack of care from the staff left much to be desired. I felt that the staff didn't prioritize guest satisfaction, which really detracted from the overall stay. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel unless significant changes are made to both the accommodations and the level of service. It's a shame, as this place has so much potential in such a prime location. Knowing other real luxury resorts are near the area we will just stay there next year.

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.

Our room had a standup plexiglass shower that looked like one from an infomercial. Sparse, old furnishings, tile floors. No safe. No fridge. Breakfast buffet was average. Checkout was earlier than the other hotels we stayed at in Sicily (10am). The best thing about this hotel was the pool which was quite nice and had a number of lounge chairs to sit and relax. All in all, I have to say that there's nothing grand about the grand hotel mose.

From the outside it looks like a Moorish palace/stronghold (with a large modern clock affixed to the front). Our room had a mix of styles: a lovely old armoire to hang our clothes in, a very modern new bath, a combination safe (we put our passports in it while we went sightseeing), a bench to lay out the suitcase, good lighting, and comfortable beds. There was a TV in the room but we didn't use it. The staff was very nice. The croissants at the buffet breakfast were delicious!

The carefully maintained grounds were secure and pleasing. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. The journeys to Agrigento centro and Valle Dei Templi were short and convenient. TIP look at the turn to the drive to the villa on Google Maps before you go so you recognize the turn as you approach it, and avoid overshooting it. TIP Cafe Moka at the end of the drive was a good place to get some espresso BONUS Enzo was a five-star host BONUS good value BONUS well stocked mini bar with fair prices Stayed September 2015

A beautiful location for this rustic inn. You can stroll the private gardens and can also see the…read moreValley of the Temples from the courtyard. The rooms are very simple but functional. There is a small window that fully opens and depending on the room you are in you can see the Mediterranean Sea. The bathroom is small but has excellent water pressure in the shower. Internet, while available, is a weak, unsecured signal. The bed was really hard and the pillows really flat so I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked, unfortunately. If you get a room on the 2nd floor, there is no elevator so hopefully you packed light as you will need to carry your belongings up the stairs. The included breakfast is quite good and contains bacon and eggs, various cookies, meats and cheeses and these wonderful croissants that are stuffed with pistachio or vanilla creme. I had dinner in the same restaurant ( there is nothing else within walking distance) and had a delicious piece of fish topped with eggplant and potatoes. And they made a pasta with pumpkin sauce for the first course which was terrific! The location is perfect for after a visit to the Valley of the Temples. And they have lovely gardens and a center courtyard for just sitting and relaxing while listening to the fountain. The hotel alone would warrant a 3 rating on its own but the food in the restaurant pushed it to a 4!

Her recommendations were spot on, the parking was ample and convenient, and the location made it easy to explore both the Valley of the Temples and the Scala dei Turchi. This is the kind of stay that makes a trip unforgettable. Saluti
