About Relais Santa Anastasia
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.

Did not stay here but dropped in for a wine tasting. Came without a reservation and they accepted us. Chose the 35€ option, which was two whites and two reds, accompanied with a small sample of cheese and salami.
