If you want total chill in the sun, Santa Anastasia is definately for you. About an hour and a half from Palermo, it lies in the hills outside Castlebuono and is reached via a long, winding and bumpy road. We arrived mid-afternoon and within the hour were sitting by the pool. Our room, which was a deluxe, was very pleasant... More

The best hotel we have experienced in Sicily. A great atmosphere. The rooms are large, well decorated and beautiful. We have spent 2 lovely days there - used the wide pool, have horse riding with the kids in the hills, visited the vinery and dine at the restaurant. The only disadvantage is the location – remote from main road and... More

Great place, amazing hotel in the middle of a vineyard, 15mns away from Cefalu's Center. We stayed there one night but would have liked to stay one or two more days. The swimming pool is so nice, the location is so charming. The room was spacious and very beautiful. We loved it, the preferred hotel of our 10 days trip... More

If you want to escape the crowds, then this is the place to come. You leave the main road and drive for what feels like ages up a very bumpy road up a hill and eventually reach this beautiful hotel. We were there in May - not exactly peak, but not low season either and the place was very empty... More

Not for the faint hearted or those who enjoy the nightlife, but if you are seeking a place well away from the hustle and bustle, then this is for you. 20 minutes from the coast (half of that time negotiating a winding, bumpy track that seems to go on upwards for ever. At the end, a delightful hotel, a warm... More

Peaceful and beautiful surroundings, very nice atmosphere, extremely helpful staff, fine ambience and very comfortable common rooms with nice interiors. Good base for visits to Cefalu, walks in Madonnie park, wine tours and good dinners in the estate. More

We stayed at the Relais in late october, admittedly out of season but it was freezing,we had to ask for the heating to be turned on.On arrival it was commented that they hoped we had warm clothes! Not funny when you staying in a 5 star hotel at 5 star prices. When it was eventually turned on the following day... More

This hotel could be described as "place to rest". We booked one night on this hotel on the way to palermo, to split the road from catania and have chance to see the Sicilian mountains! There's a very good view and you are surrounded from the mountaint. But the hotel... what an adventure! Needs more more improvings! Sometimes we felt... More

This is a beautiful hotel to relax in: an amazing building and setting; luxurious rooms and a fantastic pool. It is not far from Cefalu (about 15 minutes in a car) and makes for a lovely alternative place to stay out of town. It was a lovely couple of nights and I would definitely recommend staying here, however, I just... More
