Collaborating closely with Lady Olga Polizzi, we have reimagined Rocco Forte Hotels’ Verdura Resort, unveiling a transformation that captures the essence of Sicilian beauty and timeless sophistication. Following a full refurbishment of its central building, the resort’s main entrance now welcomes guests with golden light streaming through expansive glass façades.

The Secret Garden, Zagara, is newly reborn—bronze sculpture, natural stone, rich woods, and climbing plants around majestic wooden columns evoke intimacy and serenity. New dining destinations, including L’Osteria, Zagara, Buongiorno and the Scirocco cocktail bar, bring together Sicilian culinary heritage and refined contemporary design. A revamped piazza beside the ancient Saracen Tower now pulses with life—shopping areas, fusion cuisine at Nagori, and Liolà’s reopening with local craftsmanship in majolica tiles and terracotta tones add colour, texture, and artistry.

With careful attention to every detail—from materials and light, to indoor-outdoor transitions—our redesign for Verdura Resort aims to elevate the guest experience, creating spaces that feel part of the land, steeped in local flair, and imbued with luxury.
