Well, to be as exhaustive as possible, a book would not be enough to describe this enchanting place known and appreciated throughout the world. On 28 July 2023 the Forte Village Resort hosted the celebration of my wedding with Monica, making this day unforgettable for us. I will be brief, starting from the day when, in the middle of October 2022, we entered for an initial inspection and to ask for information. Thus, without any notice of our visit, Mrs. Isabella Raimondi welcomed us and accompanied us around the magnificent location with the kindness that distinguishes all the staff of the Fort. After that inspection, a few weeks later, we returned to delve into the details of the possibility of celebrating our wedding at the Forte. With surprise we were informed that Mrs. Raimondi had taken a period of leave, as the summer season had ended, and that we would be looked after by Mr. Fabrizio Usala. We would never have imagined that with Mr. Usala we would be in the excellent hands of a serious, tireless and incomparable professional always ready to answer all our questions and needs. An irreplaceable figure, in my opinion, in managing the relationships between the tasks of the Forte's events office and the needs of the client. Fabrizio, together with all the staff, made everything easy in organizing the event, fully satisfying all our expectations. The five-star garden, with its green lawn, was the setting for the ceremony. Crazy. Executive chef Andreoli and his entourage then executed and prepared the dishes on the menu in such a way as to leave our relatives and friends speechless. The aperitif served by the pool, with live preparation corners, made everything unique. Furthermore, the presence of Mr. Vincenzo Formisano, sommelier of the Resort, helped us, in an excellent way, first in selecting the wines to pair with the dishes, then allowing himself to be appreciated by those present for his kindness, competence and elegance in exposing the peculiarities of the wines . An added value to the evening. After the ceremony and reception we spent a few days at the Forte pampering ourselves with an aperitif literally immersed in the Oasis pool with Marco and his colleagues; the various starred restaurants, in particular the Three Michelin Star Heinz Beck which, when admiring its dishes, seemed to be admiring a work of art; the splendid Wine bar with an infinite variety of wines from all over the world, where you can end the evening with live music masterfully performed by Andrea with a vast repertoire of international songs. Furthermore, we cannot leave out the SPA route with its 6 pools to regenerate during your holiday at Forte Village. The added value is the entire staff in every corner of the Resort, always attentive and ready to fulfill every request, always with a smile. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations for making our wedding day even more unforgettable. Vincenzo and Monica.

What can I say... they made us live a fairy tale; it was a unique and special experience to have shared the day of my wedding with Vincenzo with them. We experienced a day full of love and emotions, not only us, but also our guests who enjoyed the beauty that this splendid Resort offers. The Location is unique in the world, but what further enriches everything is the staff with their smiles, their attention and their availability. In particular, Mr. Fabrizio Usala who we trusted from the first moment; a person of great professionalism and competence to whom we extend a Thank You Thank You Thank you for everything you did to make us feel special on a unique day in your life. A special thank you goes to all the staff of the Hotel Castello for the care and preparation of the rooms. Impeccable. Executive Chef Stefano Andreoli together with his Entourage delighted the palates of all of us with their delicacies. The spectacular nature of the live preparation corners, during the aperitif, will remain in me as an indelible memory. Well done. Well done. Well done. The added value at the reception was the presence of Mr. Vincenzo Formisano, an impeccable sommelier in his professionalism and elegance; a role, that of the Sommelier, that only Forte Village can reserve for you. The only "discordant" note is that it all ended too quickly. Our anniversary will certainly be an opportunity to return.
Monica and Vincenzo

My partner and I stayed at Forte Village for the first time, attracted by the experience promoted by the online site. I have to say to my surprise, that what they call “experience” far exceeded expectations. We arrived from the cold of Lugano on June 23rd, and stayed 9 days. The welcome began at the airport, where a driver was waiting for us, fully dressed, with the tablet and our names. He was very friendly and polite, he accompanied us to the car reserved for us directly at the booking stage by the hotel, a Mercedes S class, spick and span to say the least. Inside we found a bottle of fresh water and some wet wipes, which despite being what they are, after a plane trip were more than welcome. The journey to the resort was very pleasant and not too long, about 40 minutes, mostly on a 4-lane road without major curves. Once we arrived at the resort, we entered another world, almost fantastic, surrounded by the most lush greenery, almost as if it were an oasis in the middle of the desert, enchanting! We were greeted at the entrance, and were accompanied to the main reception, where we were immediately made to feel at ease with a nice glass of chilled prosecco. After 5 minutes we were informed that our room was ready, they loaded our bags onto a very nice caddy, and in the middle of the greenery we crossed its beautiful terracotta paths, up to our room. The room was something…wow and the sea view is sensational! Indescribable! The manager welcomed us with a big smile and showed us everything! Unfortunately, the week flew by amidst the most extreme relaxation ever and very pampered Unfortunately the sadness is right on the day of check out, because we no longer wanted to leave! We promised ourselves to return again next year because it was one of the few places that remained in our hearts, for its views, scents and atmosphere. Thanks to Forte Village, its directors and all the staff who gave us a daydream.

We stayed in the waterfront suites this past week. We could not have asked for a better view. The two suites were steps away from the sand. The rooms were very clean and stocked with everything from top of the line toiletries and great drinks and snacks. There were a variety of pillows provided and the beds were very comfortable. The dining at The buffet catered to everyone’s wishes for breakfast and dinner. Beachcomber for lunch was exceptional and so was the Pizzeria. For dinner we had the great pleasure of dining at Le Dune, Belvedere and Heinz Beck. Renato at hotel il Castello was an amazing concierge who not only made the reservations but even provided us with detergent. The staff were are friendly and exceptional in making us feel at home. Ciao Forte Village we will see you soon.

We have been to Forte Village a few times, and have stayed in both Villa del Parco and Le Dune (we preferred Le Dune). We even had a favorite villa in Le Dune… that is, until this trip when we found a new favorite! (Thank you, Carla Checcin for the introduction via upgrade!)
When we arrived, Riccardo escorted us to the lobby of Il Castello and told us that we had received an upgrade. We must admit that we were worried about upgrading to a more traditional style hotel instead of the villa accommodations that we loved in Le Dune. Riccardo assured us that we would love our upgrade, and boy was he right!
We were upgraded to the oceanfront suites of Cala del Forte. Everything was amazing! Both Riccardo and Fabrizio were available to customize and perfect our experience with every meal, every activity, and every whim for each and every day of our trip. Fabrizio was able to work his magic in order to add an additional day onto our trip after we realized that our flight was on a different day than we initially thought. Not only were we able to stay in the same room but we were given a late check out!
Our view from the sleeping and living areas was stunning; and the terrace was ample with great reclining sun beds. The air conditioning worked well. The beds were super comfortable and much appreciated (we were all jetlagged).
There was ample space to store our belongings in the well-designed spaces in the room, aside from a walk-in closet as well. The bathroom was well laid out with a Jacuzzi tub, a separate huge shower, toilet, bidet and double sinks. There was a magnifying mirror as well. No detail was overlooked. There were even windows in every room including the walk-in closet and
We enjoyed our meals, the gym, the thalassotherapy, the pools, the bikes, Leisureland, and the evening entertainment. It doesn’t get any better than Forte Village. The only problem was our vacation was too short!!

"We stayed in the Turchese Room in Cala Del Forte and it far exceeded our hopes, it was a huge room which had enough space and seating to house the large numbers of friends/family wedding planners, hairdressers and make up artists who visited us throughout our stay. I would thoroughly recommend the rooms and the high level of service you receive at this resort,"
