Susafa

I loved Susafa! Wonderful setting. It's a bit remote, but that made it more special. The food is delicious (and fresh!) and the bar and public spaces are lovely. The room could be a bit damp at times and the wifi was spotty, but for a vacation Susafa is wonderful. Also, check out the pool, which we loved hanging out at.

The hotel is set in the most magnificent place. It is as if one has stepped into a painting from a bygone era…lush, rolling hills, quaint farmhouses,and nothing but the sounds of birds and industrious bees to distract one from the sounds of nature. The food matches the landscape-natural, wholesome, and bursting with colors and flavor. The staff were welcoming and professional. The pool area is absolutely stunning. It is a little oasis and a nature lover’s paradise.

The road to the resort is awful, the extremely isolated spot is in a ***** landscape of abandoned fields of burned straw. Car park is unattended, outside the property, on a public road. Our 400 euros classic room is very small and simply furnished, with no windows and bad wi-fi connection. The lack of TV is intentionally considered a plus. In the restaurant, international staff can be reassuring for the typical foreign guest, but they cannot be able to offer and share with empathy the real flavour of the Sicilian menu. In the middle of the dinner we were forgotten, empty dishes lingered on the table, then we abruptly decided to leave and go to sleep. If you look for a peaceful retreat in Sicily, it's very easy to find a lot better for a much less...

I traveled to Sicily with my 2 adult daughters. Our first stop was Susafa, in the middle of Sicily. We landed in Palermo, rented a car and drove through the beautiful countryside. The Masseria is beautifully restored with an old, deep history. They were control burning the wheat fields and that added an extra smell and vision to our trip . Unfortunately they could not accommodate 3 of us in one room so we my daughters were in a smaller room near the pool and I stayed in a beautiful suite above the bar and old winery. The room had a beautiful view, living room, large soaking bathtub and a very comfortable bed. Meals were served in the old grainery, which is a beautiful brick building with large arches and a huge fireplace. The dinner service was great. All of our waitstaff were very nice and helpful. The food was excellent, as fresh as you can imagine . We also ate lunch and breakfast there which was equally delicious. We didn’t leave the property and enjoyed walks around the wheat fields, laying by the pool and relaxing . We did take a cooking class which was fun and educational. It did not include eating what we made ?? I think it would be nice to include that too . We saw one of the owners, we didn’t get a chance to meet him. But we did meet his very friendly dog. When I returned home to the US, I did order some of their pasta, olive oil and tomato sauce. My daughter had left her retainer in her room and they kindly included it in the package . I don’t think I’ve ever left an item that was actually found and returned . Another example of their excellent service . And to get to have these beautiful products delivered to my house was a great treat ! We hope to return ! It was magical .

Staying at this charming Sicilian countryside retreat was an absolute delight. The old farmhouse, beautifully restored and transformed into a luxury retreat, provided the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The unbeatable sunsets and breathtaking landscape views made each evening unforgettable. The service was truly spectacular, and the staff made us feel like we were part of their family. And let's not forget the food – which tasted so fresh, flavorful and delicious, truly a culinary journey. We took a Sicilian cookery class and got to experience how much care, passion and love the chef puts into preparing the dishes. I highly recommend the aperitifs in the fields for spectacular, and truly epic sunset views! This place is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay!

This is really a beautiful place. We stayed here for just one night and were so sad that we couldn't stay longer (we tried, but they were sold out). We were greeted with a welcome cocktail while they moved our luggage into the room and then we enjoyed a leisurely lunch in their lovely dining room. Afterwards, we got to sample their freshly made tomato sauce (hot from the steaming pan - super cool). We spent some time sitting around the pool in the late afternoon and finished the evening with a delicious dinner. Dreaming of the day we can return and stay a little longer.
