Fodor's Expert Review Baglio Caruana
Contrada Torre Salsa, Agrigento, Sicily, 92010, Italy
Here you'll find tasteful contemporary rooms within a small organic winery set among 50 acres of vineyards a short drive from the unspoiled beaches of the Torre Salsa nature reserve. Rooms are minimalist in style, with exposed beams, wooden parquet floors, and bathrooms walled with either Bisazza mosaics or hand-painted majolica tiles from Caltagirone. Color schemes vary, from soft blues, greens, and sand to geometric black and whites, giving each room a distinctive feel and character. Breakfast is served in the courtyard in good weather, and in the state-of-the-art tasting room in bad. Although there is no restaurant, wine tastings with food—and a tour of the vineyards and cantina—are available three times a week.
