Remote if no car! A shuttle to at least their linked beach club, or nearby vineyard, would have been great Breakfast a little basic Wasps present in restaurant - perhaps some form of deterrent Staffing of pool bar was rather patchy!

The service was really lovely and authentic Italian. The food was amazing. We did the cooking class which we loved. We will definitely go back.

Restaurant menu did not change so 3 nights dinner meant it was hard to find a different choice by night 3. Perhaps a ‘special’ might have helped.

Tranquil location

Beware off all the approach roads : drive gently!

This is a beautiful hotel situated amid the rolling vineyards of the Planeta estate on the south coast. It’ a modern well thought out building housing beautiful rooms and suites which are tastefully decorated with antiques, art and comfortable modern touches, the quality of the furnishings is superb. The suites and their patios look out on pretty well tended herb gardens, vines and beyond to the sea. It’s very peaceful. The restaurant serves modern Sicilian dishes and the wine list, as you would expect, is extensive and well thought out. All the staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. Although it was too cold for us to use the beautiful pool or visit their beach club we intend to return!

It was one of the best accommodations I ever visited. Strongly recommend for anyone who finds a place for their vacation. We ate dinner from their restaurant, and It was really nice. Very fresh ingredients with modern styled Sicilian cooking techniques. Also breakfast was really nice too, with a fantastic view. Swimming pool was much bigger than we expected, room too.

We’d recommend this to anyone. Beautiful setting, food, wine, rooms and service. Nice place to chill out and take it easy if you are on a big trip or a short stay. We are on our honeymoon and it was a highlight so far.

The price of some of the extras seemed quite high, such as the wine tasting and cooking classes. Probably in line with the cost of staying though. Wine tasting is available at nearby wineries for a lower cost, although of course less convenient.

A lovely hotel - very relaxing, clean and comfortable. Nearby many vineyards and places to visit. Staff were friendly and the food was very good.

Wonderful location with infinity pool overlooking vineyards. A very relaxing break

Absolutely loved this gem of a hotel in Menfi -- it was even better than the pictures! Staff was lovely, super helpful, the food was incredible and that infinity pool that looks out over the vineyards was exactly where we wanted to be at the end of the day to watch the sunset. My only regret is that we only stayed there two nights -- would happily return! Also, their beach club (Insula) is stunning and set amongst pine trees which offer much-needed shade in July. We loved it :)

This is a first time event- giving a perfect score. Liked it all.

Everything. The food, the staff, the location, the wine, the cooking class, the pool, the view, the comfortable room. We left La Foresteria to visit Mt. Etna. Our entire family was sad to say goodbye. A rare and exquisite spot. We will def come back.

Although a minor point, the bathroom could use an update (Everything was nice and functional).

The view from the infinity pool overlooking the vineyards was stunning. Needless to say the Planeta Brut at the bar was always refreshing. They have a splendid private beachclub within 10min drive and we had dinner there. The Birthday dinner in the main restaurant was a delight. Staff were friendly and helpful. Their herbal garden is a delight to walk through. The room and the bed are comfortable

Great food and wines, quite, away from it all.

The room was supposed to be air conditioned. The air conditioner did not work for our entire stay. All we got was excuses from staff but no action to fix. The weather was warm and at night the room was stuffy which required the door to the outside to be open. Not ideal for security

Location was very good.

The breakfast was really great! The only thing a hotel of this class could change is to offer freshly made eggs for free. Hard-boiled eggs are included in the price but you need to pay extra for freshly-made egg dishes (e.g. scrambled eggs, etc).

We spent the last night of our 10 day Sicily Trip at La Foresteria as a highlight to end our trip. The hotel is beautifully located in south Sicily close to Menfi and has amazing views over vineyards and the coast. In Mid April the hotel was very calm but there were still enough guests around so you didn't feel lonely :) The food and wine were excellent and everyone treated our little son (3 years old) super nicely with a lot of patience although he was one of the few kids around.

That cooked breakfast was an extra payment. The room rate is quite high and other places at this rate provide a cooked breakfast.

There was an enormous buffet of cold foods. Fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, vegetables and pastries. If you wanted to have a cooked breakfast of eggs or omelettes or pancakes it was an extra payment. The dinners at La Foresteria were amazing.

Stayed in April 2024

evening meals were poor and did not live up to the standard of an artisan cooking facility.

wine, swimming pool, staff, efficiency, breakfast, decor and ambiance
