Relais Santa Anastasia in Castelbuono, open May–August.
Relais Santa Anastasia occupies a restored medieval abbey in Sicily's Madonie Mountains, commanding views across terracotta rooftops and limestone peaks toward the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Stone walls and vaulted ceilings anchor the property, while manicured gardens and a working winery ground the experience in the region's agricultural heritage.
The venue accommodates up to 120 guests across 29 rooms, making it viable as a multi-day retreat rather than a single evening.
We booked a wine tasting lunch but unfortunately did not stay for it - we had no desire to eat in the cold dark restaurant inside nor in front of the pool - the property is so beautiful and there are tables outside so we could not understand why it was a problem to have a tasting lunch outdoors. Such a pity as we were planning the whole trip around this activity. Maybe it would be worth noting that it is not possible to have the food outdoors at the time of booking. Beautiful place though.
