Culinary Haven

“During my stay, I enjoyed dining at Vanilla Sky's restaurant, where they serve a delectable array of Italian delicacies and local dishes. The homemade buffalo mozzarella and wood-fired pizzas were really good. I had the spaghetti with a good homemade tomato sauce that was the best I've tasted. This culinary experience was truly a highlight of my vacation.” view full review
