La Foresteria is the perfect place for a full on luxury retreat. It lays on top of a hill that grants you the view over the vinyard onto the ocean. Their restaurant has just earned its first Michelin star, well deserved! All produce is home-grown, which guarantees that it is organic and with the best taste, ripened by the Sicilian sun.
La Foretseria, with its herbal garden and focus on the senses, has been key to developing our retreats for the senses. This is the ultimate sensual experience.
To book this retreat, you need to make a special request for all 14 rooms, as this place is very highly requested.
Join us for this exclusive retreat with an intimate familiar environment of the Planeta family, combining the best of yoga and wine, food and nature, art and culture, to learn, to relax, to enjoy.
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 scent of the herbs surrounding the wine resort enrich the dishes from our kitchen, a treasure house of flavours from a territory of excellent wine.
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.)
