La Foresteria Planeta Estate
Contrada Passo di Gurra, Italy
14 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
Sicily’s Planeta family is perhaps best known for the wines and olive oils that they produce in a multitude of locations all across the island, but with La Foresteria Planeta Estate they turn their hand to hospitality, with impressive results. Here, in the remote far west of Sicily, not far from the town of Menfi, they’ve created a small-scale country retreat, a contemporary 14-room luxury hotel overlooking the vineyards and olive groves of one of this island’s most gently scenic regions.
Herb gardens surround a lovely pool, and the rooms are named for the local plants, from lavender and rosemary to the more exotic santolina and artemisia. Though contemporary in construction they’re all classic in style, lending a certain timelessness to the experience — and while they’re all exceedingly comfortable, there’s nothing ostentatious about them.
The breakfast is an expansive Sicilian-style buffet, and at dinner the restaurant, under the direction of chef Angelo Pumilia, transforms the island’s traditional flavors into something elevated and modern. There’s a beach club a few minutes’ drive away, and ample opportunity for exploring by bike or on foot — and back at the estate, cooking classes and wine tastings are always on offer. (There are benefits to staying in a hotel owned by a winemaking family.)
