"Nearly all of Italy’s best hotels are located in historic buildings, with backstories that run the range from the grand and glittering — palaces on the Grand Canal, lavish country villas in Tuscany — to the downright humble, the urban apartments transformed into boutique hotels, and the old tobacco factories turned into all-suite getaways complete with spas and wine cellars. Mangiabove Guesthouse fits into the latter category. Located right on the beach in the southernmost part of Sicily, the sandy-colored stone building doesn’t look like much from a distance: that’s because the building was a simple farmhouse for most of its existence." - Tablet Hotels
