Mangia's Torre Del Barone Resort & Spa

Hotel highlights

• Pizza, pasta and Aperol Spritz. What more classic Italian staples could you need? Oh, there's also espresso and ice cream available at the bars too. Have it all for a proper Italian experience

• Every room has uh-mazing sea views that'll 100% end up being on your Instagram story

• The beach is definitely worth shouting about, it's got white sands and clear waters for snorkelling... all of our fave things!

Location

• Pretty much on the beach (private too) - well, you have a scenic path to go down to get to it, but the views are so nice, this is one walk you'll actually enjoy

• A 1-hour 30-minute drive from Trapani Airport, or 1-hour 20 minutes from Palermo Airport. The beach alone will make the journey worth it, and just you wait till you've heard about the resort...

Rooms

• Mangia's Torre Del Barone is made up of stylish Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, Deluxe Suites and Junior Suites, each with a huge balcony, and you're in for stunning sea views every morning because every single room has one!!

• Every room also has...

  • Air-con

  • Hairdryer

  • Bathrobes

  • Safe

  • Flat-screen TV

  • Iron

  • Furnished terrace

• We know the views are 10/10, so you can skip going downstairs for brekkie and have it brought up to your room!

Food & Drink

• Donna Floriana - the Sicilian bistro, serving Sicilian classics and fresh Sicilian seafood, how many times can we squeeze Sicilian into a sentence?

• Al Grano - the scent of tomato, basil and mozzarella will hit you right in the face as soon as you walk into this place. There's only one place we could be talking about, a pizzeria! It's a classic Italian dish, and here you can tuck into it whilst looking over the sea. Perfecto!

• Kaigan - a swish Sushi bar made with fresh, local Italian seafood and panoramic views to soak up whilst you tuck in.

• Perseo Buffet - offering tasty Meditteran fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner, don't worry about having the same dishes every day, the menu switches up every single day, it'll be a surprise!

• Lime Pool Bar - between dips in the pool head over here for a sugary ice cream pick-me-up, a classic cocktail, or if you want a caffeine hit the Italian way, opt for an espresso or if you're extra brave, a double espresso

• Chosquito - if you thought the beach couldn't get any better, there's this beachside bar in the mix too, it's shaded by palm trees and offers tonnes of refreshing drinks

• Primo - get dressed up in your fancy holiday outfits and head to this terrace bar for a classic Aperol Spritz whilst looking over the sea

Sports & Entertainment

• Two Swimming Pools - what's the fun in having just one? At least you've got options, we'd stick near the pool closet to the pool bar, easy access to all the cocktails, or espresso if you want to be a true Italian

• Sports Activities - if you wanna burn off all that pizza from the night before, there's plenty here to get you moving. From tennis, beach volleyball, and mini golf, to watersports down at the beach

• Kids Club - when the kids aren't having a splash in their own pool, they can head over here for a whole load of activities for the kids, like creative workshops, games and sports activities

• SPA & Wellness Center - the place you come after you've dropped the kids off at the club for a few hours of pure relaxation, have a chill in the dedicated relax room, get a massage and have a dip in the warm, bubbly jacuzzi pool

• Entertainment - enjoy some evening live music whilst sipping on your spritz, and the food experiences let you in on a few classic Sicilian recipes that you can cook up at home

• Beach - like we said already, it's a scenic stroll or you can actually hop on a shuttle train if you don't fancy the commute. If you pre-book the sunbeds in the first few rows, you get exclusive access to service, and we're going to be mysterious and not tell you what they are...
