Staying at Torre del Barrone in Sicily was like a wonderful dream. the staff, gorgeous room with balcony and ocean view, the ambiance throughout the hotel and the surrounding grounds, the food in all 3 restaurants, the beach and the magical light made our stay spectacular!!!!! Our cooking class with the head chef and manager was so fun and educational AND delicious!!! Gianluca Interrante, hotel manager, made each of us feel welcome like family. The almond paste cookies I purchased in the lovely gift shop were delicious and made by the shopkeepers Mama!!!! Torre del Barrone Mangia's should be classified a 5 star hotel!!! Cant wait to return!!!!!
