SUSAFA

Battery-recharging rural boutique preserving its Sicilian farmhouse past. Beautifully in tune with the rhythms of nature- Susafa is an invitation to slow down and soak up the landscapes- culture and traditions of central Sicily. This old family-run farm estate has been transformed into a chic boutique retreat with restaurant and pool- where the traditions of the past are preserved and a sense of timelessness greets you as you step inside. Susafa also has strong ties to its setting. The organic olive oil you dip your warm bread into is made on the family-run estate here. The cherries in desserts come from the orchard. And the vegetables and herbs are seasonal treasures from the Susafa hotel gardens. Sample it all from the restaurant - once the old granary and now a modern- low-lit space with exposed stone walls- dramatic vaulted and terracotta floors. Or- to really get to grips with Sicilian food culture- join the chefs in the kitchen for a cookery class. You could master the art of perfectly rolled ravioli or ricotta-stuffed cannoli. Then enjoy it all with a glass - or bottle - of regional wine in the restful bar area. When it comes to sweet slumber- as Susafa calls it- the bedrooms are a signature mix of old and new. In each uniquely styled space- crisp linens and mellow shades- glass walls and freestanding tubs are in perfect harmony with the heritage of the buildings.
