This holiday retreat is part of an abbey set the beautiful hills surrounding Castelbuono, where each stone has a piece of history to recount. It is surrounded by green landscape and fertile countryside dominated by vineyards set against holly, oak, maple and ash and offering clear views of the sea. The medieval town of Castelbuono is only a 15-minute drive away, featuring a captivating castle and 16th century church, and visitors may spend a day sightseeing and shopping in Palermo, at only an hour's drive away. The spacious guest rooms and suites are tastefully decorated, and each is named after a type of grape in reference to the region's distinguished wine culture. Guests will delight in the authentic Sicilian cuisine served in the two restaurants in a cheerful and yet elegant atmosphere, and the reading room, bar, swimming pool, billiard room and gardens provide excellent spaces to relax and pass the time on a delightful holiday in Sicily.
