Situated in the countryside of Menfi, between the beaches of Porto Palo, the temples of Selinunte, Cave di Cusa and the vineyards of the prestigious Planeta winery, La Foresteria, is a new hotel and yet, at the same time, one which is deeply rooted in the history and customs of the land on which it has been built.
Rural-chic
From a distance, La Foresteria appears like a small rural hamlet. Close up, the contemporary nature of the hotel's architecture is revealed, the geometric rigor and essential forms' of which represent a stylish modern interpretation of the area's traditional vernacular architecture.
Facing on to the sun-drenched Sicilian countryside, La Foresteria's 14, spacious and brightly painted bedrooms are furnished with a magical mix of geometrically patterned rugs, antiques, and ceramic tiles from the nearby towns of Burgio and Caltagirone
The rooms' contemporary rustic-chic style is made all the more appealing by the addition of the latest in audiovisual technology, including wireless internet connectivity and flat screen televisions. All rooms open out on to their own private terrace.

An entire room in the hotel is reserved for tastings of local gastronomic products and the estate's wines.
