We spent 4 days at Relais Santa Anastasia, as part of a Spring holiday in Sicily. What a wonderful property – an absolute gem in Castelbuono! From the first moment we entered the relais (an old abbey – very tastefully rebuilt), we felt very welcome and relaxed. Everything is very clean inside and around the relais, food quality is superb... More

We stayed at Santa Anastasia for three nights at the end of March on our first visit to Sicily. This beautiful old converted, 12th century, Benedictine abbey far exceeded our expectations. Don't come here if you want the bright lights and buzzing activity on your doorstep; but if you're looking for a totally quiet, tranquil, historic and supremely comfortable small... More

We only came for the lunch and winery tour but would absolutely love to come again and stay. Sicily has many wonderful spots to enjoy local wines and food but this property has a truly magnificent kitchen. Our lunch was full of prosperous local families enjoying a leisurely and delicious Sunday lunch. We have had many wonderful meals but not... More

We stayed there for three days last year during the high season. Place totally answered to our expectations, actually was even better than we hoped. Professional and friendly staff. Though we didn´t had the best room (made the last minute booking and got the last room) on our first day (we didn´t complaine, but they sayd so:D) they moved us... More

It's apparently part of the Angala chain and maybe that's why I felt let down -- sometimes haughty/indifferent attitude at the front desk and a sort of generic, cliche "wine country getaway" feel to the whole place. It reminded me of some similar Napa Valley properties 30 or so years ago -- after the initial rave reviews they moved into... More

We spent two lovely days here. The grounds and pool were beautiful, with gorgeous views. The public rooms are extremely attractive, and our room was spacious and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant both nights and found the prices to be reasonable and the food delicious. We drove up to Castelbuono one day - a very picturesque town quite close... More

This place was so hard to find but well worth it when you get to it. The entrance off the main road is a long steep lane through acres and acres of Vines and olives, such a pretty sight. The hotel is a renovated Monastery and is in good condition, the staff were professional. Our room was very dark but... More

Wonderful place to spend a couple of relaxing nights. I think you need a car to get here, there is absolutely nothing around for miles. Service in the restaurant is quite formal. Food is wonderful and there are some wine tasting lists that you can try out, which make it fun. The pool area is nice and quiet, with plenty... More

This is a very quiet place in a pretty setting - I wouldn't suggest kids. Two of us stayed in a standard room which was plenty big enough and full of character. We opted for dinner in the restaurant with the "premium" wine tasting for two (€20 each). Dinner was excellent. Very good service throughout. There are some beautiful rooms... More
