With two swimming pools, numerous sports fields, and clubs dedicated to the youngest members of the family, Torre del Barone is not only a first-class facility, renovated for its 5-star reopening, but also the ideal destination for families. The resort is also perfect for those wishing to go on excursions or explore the Mediterranean's largest island, with countless historical, cultural and geographical sites within easy reach: Agrigento, Sciacca and Palermo, to name but a few.
The resort's SPA and wellness centre is an oasis of peace where you can relax, pamper yourself and totally recharge your batteries. In fact, the centre offers an indoor pool with heated hot water, as well as a solarium and relaxation area, hammam and outdoor hot tub. The wellness experience is completed by an area dedicated to treatments and massages.
