At the foot of the Madonie, in the hills above Cefalù not far from Castelbuono, is the Relais Santa Anastasia and its cellar of excellence. It is set in a magical place, between long rows of vineyards and with a view that stretches to the Aeolian Islands.
The ancient Benedictine abbey is today, thanks to a careful restoration, an elegant, charming residence.
The 29 rooms preserve the charm of the past and are enriched with modern amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, Sat-TV, a safe, a hairdryer and a minibar. Sicily’s mild climate and the extreme professionalism of the staff allow guests a unique experience all year round.
Many opportunities exist for both recreation and relaxation. The swimming pool with whirlpool offers breathtaking views. Time stands still in the room, which is decorated with traditional warm colors and houses a fabulous fireplace. The nature trails within the 450-hectare park, lend themselves for a stroll on foot or a trek on horseback.
Travellers will not be disappointed by longwalks along the rows of vines nor by the visit to the winery that produces both organic and biodynamic wines.
The Maurolico room hosts conferences and meetings for up to 100 people, with an adjacent bar ‘Nest Hawk’, available for a coffee break or for refreshments at any time of the day.
Lastly, the two restaurants, ‘Corte dell’Abate’ and ‘Passions & Temptations’, offer excellent cuisine that uses tradition Sicilian cuisine and natural, organically grown produce.
