Wine Relais Feudi del Pisciotto

The verdant countryside of southeast Sicily is replete with feudi, country farm estates set within the peaceful, unspoiled landscape; nestled on the edge of an impressive nature reserve, the hotel Wine Relais Feudi del Pisciotto offers visitors the best of Sicilian countryside tradition and its grapes. Guest rooms are located in the estate's former palmento, where many of the building's original features have been preserved; soft furnishings are minimal, with a select few artisanal pieces leaving the heritage property to do most of the talking. Expect original exposed stone walls, heavy iron doors and wooden ceilings. There is a large outdoor pool with pretty views over the landscape, plus an indoor spa with a sauna and Turkish bath. Guests can sample wines from the hotel's winery at a wine tasting, or try a glass to accompany a dish at the hotel restaurant, which serves a refreshing seafood menu. Whether you prefer to sunbathe and snooze or explore the vineyard and nearby towns, the friendly staff are on hand to help you plan an itinerary. A refined and relaxed country escape.
