Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

The 32 Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Europe | Condé Nast Traveler

"Spanning a huge estate on Sicily’s southwest coast, Verdura Resort felt like a chic, family-friendly retreat with modernist architecture, olive groves, citrus trees and new Hollywood Hills–style villas with private pools that are nonetheless equipped with night lights, safety plugs and baby bathtubs. Kids happily eat spaghetti al pomodoro at Liolà trattoria while professionals run sports clubs in football and windsurfing; the kids’ club organizes singing-and-dancing Sicilian Mary Poppins–style activities and toddlers can nap in a cool sleep room while parents enjoy the beach or a spa session—the spa and Irene Forte’s natural skincare were standout reasons to carve out wellness time.
