The sprawling house and its outbuildings have been beautifully converted in a contemporary rustic style, incorporating courtyards and gardens planted with palm and fruit trees and herbs. There is a fabulous pool overlooking the hills with its own shady bar area; poolside sunset aperitivi are magical.

Hotels Own Introduction
There are places crafted to be true sanctuaries for the soul—where real peace flows in harmony with the rhythms of rural life and the beauty of pastoral landscapes. At Susafa, time slows down, enriched by flavors, fragrances, and tranquility.
Welcome to Susafa, an old farmhouse transformed into a serene countryside retreat. Here, you’ll connect with the heart of Sicily, immersing yourself in vibrant colors, rich traditions, and timeless customs. Nature is the essence of everything: from quiet corners for relaxation to seasonal ingredients served fresh daily. Enjoy the simple pleasures of homemade bread, paired with Susafa’s own olive oil, and the calming blue of the pool, nestled in a lush Mediterranean garden. Take leisurely walks through fields of golden grain, accompanied by the authentic sounds of nature.
Our inspiration comes from rural culture—a call to return to our roots, where good food, seasonal values, and the timeless rhythms of the land guide us. Ingredients like wild fennel, available only for a short season, or green vegetables like spinach and chard, grace our tables. Our organic olive oil enhances every dish, and oven-fresh bread made with our own flour brings the experience full circle.
Engage with our chef as you stroll through the garden, discussing the evening’s menu crafted from traditional Sicilian ingredients, reimagined for today. Susafa’s eighteen charming rooms, including eight suites, offer a peaceful retreat, each tastefully furnished and set within the estate’s beautiful garden. Simplicity and comfort combine in an intimate atmosphere, with only the gentle sounds of nature to accompany your stay.
