The Planeta Resort

La Foresteria

La Foresteria Wine Resort stands on a green hill with a splendid view over the countryside near Menfi, representing the nature and style of the Planeta family’s hospitality.

The resort is immersed in a harmonious expanse of vineyards and olive groves, and welcomes those who wish to enjoy a holiday in a peaceful oasis between the beautiful Sicilian coast and the calm of the country.

THE ROOMS

The rooms at La Foresteria Planeta, overlooking the sea, natural landscape or garden and swimming pool, are named after the aromatic herbs that you can admire and smell during their walks on the terraces. Each room combines elegance and functionality with a style inspired by the typical Mediterranean warmth, each with a different decor and furnishings.

There are 3 different deluxe type of rooms: the Junior Suite, The Room with a view & Dependance, each with their own bathroom, terrace, 1 king or 2 queen sized beds. They are furnished with carefully selected furniture and textiles matching the herbs growing in front of the terrace. (For more details, check pricing & rooms below.)

THE FOOD

Healthy, fresh food is a key moment in my retreat. Every day, for lunch and dinner, Chef Angelo Pumilia will create a special dish for you, paired with a selected wine. La Foresteria’s restaurant is awarded with “DUE FORCHETTE” by Gambero Rosso and “TRE CAPPELLI” from the Espresso Guide “THE RESTAURANTS AND WINES OF ITALY”, 2022.

For this retreat, there will be a special composition of healthy & nourishing meals made with tradition, technique, and authentic products, all combine in producing a cuisine which enhances its links with Sicilian traditions.
