AN UNFORGETTABLE FAMILY EASTER AT VERDURA RESORT

Flooded with spring sunshine and filled with the delicate scent of orange blossom, the Sicilian countryside is in full bloom at Easter. This beautiful time of year is also a season of celebration at Verdura Resort, with a special programme of Easter activities available to guests of all ages.

Keen footballers can develop their skills thanks to a football academy led by former professional player Gianluca Zambrotta, which is suitable for both children and teens. Those who prefer two wheels can take the opportunity to train with legendary Italian cyclist Mario Cipollini at the cycling academy, or for something a little different, kids and grown-ups can test their flexibility in a
gymnastics masterclass with world title-winning gymnast Daniela Masseroni.

Reward all that physical exertion by savouring Verdura’s delicious culinary events. On 20th April, guests will be treated to a mouth-watering menu of Sicilian dishes prepared at live cooking stations at the resort’s spectacular SicanianNight. Served alongside traditional folk music performed by local musicians, expect to sample the rich colours and flavours of Sicily at this anticipated event. Adults can also enjoy an elegant evening of Champagne and Caviar at Amare Restaurant on 19th April, where refined Calvisius Caviar will be paired with chilled Laurent-Perrier Champagne.

The perfect way to celebrate with little ones, make your Easter especially memorable by embracing a few Easter traditions. The whole family will love taking part in the Egg-Celent Easter Egg Decorating competition on 20th April, before setting off on a fun Easter Egg Hunt on 21st, which makes use of Verdura’s incredible landscape.

To book your family Easter break, email reservations.verdura@roccofortehotels.com or call +39 06 32 888 630.

Verdura’s Private Villas: Living the Sicilian Way

Sicily is “the key to everything”, or so wrote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his works, Italian Journey. Throughout history, the largest island in the Mediterranean has captivated travellers as a land of myth, natural beauty and ancient memory. Shaped by Greek colonies, Emirates of Crete, Roman Provinces, Norman Kingdoms and Spanish rule, Sicily holds the imprint of civilisations past. Woven into its landscapes, their presence remains with its buildings, ruins and along the pretty coastal paths that follow its shores.

Inside the Donna Franca Suite at Villa Igiea

Vivacious, glamorous, powerful. Few figures encapsulate the effortless grandeur of the Belle Époque quite like Donna Franca, our Sicilian muse. Famed for her petite frame, thick dark hair and an exquisite fashion sense that has endured for over a century, Franca was the epitome of an era that placed beauty and high fashion at its forefront.

The long game: Embracing golf the Sicilian way

The sound comes first - the soft thud of a well-struck ball, rising into a clear blue Sicilian sky. Ahead, fairways unfold in undulating greens towards the blue calm of the Mediterranean. The air is warm, perfumed with orange blossom and sea salt. There’s no rush, only a meditative rhythm: swing, step, breathe and repeat, interrupted only by the sound of waves.
