Torre Macauda situated less than 10 minutes drive from the beautiful town of Sciacca is an undiscovered jewel on the southwest coast of Sicily. It offers everything from sun, sea, sand, fun, theatre, music, dancing, comedy, great food,wine and brillant company. If you are looking for the real taste of italian culture we believe this is the place to go. They have own private beach where you can either be transported to it by their own bus or you can also take the five minute romantic stroll down through the woods and smell all the beautiful pines, euculptus trees and taste the sea water on your lips. The village is geared for the young at heart accomodating the needs of all age groups. (You can stay either in the hotel or their lovely individual cottages) The staff are the best you will meet anywhere in the world and make every effort to ensure your stay is perfect. We were amazed at how well everyone worked together. The team work is to be admired and complimented. Just one of our favourite things whilst on this visit was the fantastic barbeque organised at the pool on a Thursday evening, it would take others a month to organise it, here it was done in a day and the result was beautiful food, fantastic colours and the aromas. oh folks it was to die for. It was like the best wedding we were ever at and thought about renewing our vows on our next vist and telling our friends that we were inviting lots of our italian friends to our wedding and making sure it co-insided with the barbeque! oh how everyone would be impressed.
Torre Macauda offers many ways of discovering Sicily:visits to Mount Etna, Temples@Sellinunte, Riberia Market, Temples @ Agrigento and lots of other spectacular sights. However as the Villagelhas everything you could possibly want it can be hard to tear yourselve away. Just some of the things to do: yoga, acqua aerobics, archery, kids club, theatre, quad biking, horse riding, water sports, Disco, or you just want some peace and quiet and a romantic time, it’s all here. Torre Macauda puts into practice what others can only talk about. The reason for this we believe is that all those involved, staff management alike really do put the customer first and are happy and proud in their jobs and so sincere in their aim to provide a magnificent service.
Our only complaint was the days went to fast on us. We were entertained from morning to late at night, you will find it hard to leave the village and the fantastic facilities it offers. We were hoping our flights would be cancelled.

The other clients staying at the village went out of their way each day whether at meal times or out and about to also make sure we felt welcome, where would it happen? They came over or sent there children over to talk to us and gave us the thumbs up so many times. We have never experienced being made feel so welcome anywhere.

The professionalism and spirit of the staff at Torre Macauda is out on it’s own. If you go to visit make sure to say ciao to Baldo and Ida at Reception, to Roberto and all his team at the bar, to Joe in the souveneir shop, all the guys in the restaurant who just make meal time a pleasure and to all the guys in photovillage, thank you all for so many beautiful memories. And lets not forget the very creative and talented crew of gattomatto amzone though our italian is very poor except for the few basics we understood and thorougly appreciated your comedy sketches and will be laughing for sometime to come. Cafe Royale is brillant.

Trying to sum it all up is very hard. Torre Macuada makes the dream a reality we dare you to go and experience it’s uniqueness and wish all those associated with Torre Macauda continued success for the future and look forward to returning next year and every year thereafter hopefully. If we win the lotto we will want a share in it.

Finally don’t forget to tell them that Giovanni Trapattoni is now half Irish.
