2 Introducing Vita Health at Verdura Golf & Spa Resort

3 For many years I have been a keen follower of the treatments now perfected at Vita Health Wellness Centre. Founded on long-term medical and nutritional research, this integrated approach offers individually tailored therapy for our guests. In Dr. Nyjon Eccles and Amelia Freer we have worldclass health expertise and I can testify to the longterm efficacy of their programmes. As a huge food enthusiast and admirer of Fulvio Pierangelini s work, I am excited to see him bring his creative genius to bear on our Vita Health menus. Vita Health is everything I expect from a Wellness Centre and Verdura is its natural home. Sir Rocco Forte
