La Foresteria Planeta Estate

Rooms

The 14 rooms with sea or countryside views are each named after an aromatic herb, grown in the lush estate gardens. The unique décor is warm and mediterranean in style with colourful rugs and blankets. Each room has its own outdoor terrace and all the usual modern amenities.

The property is in the countryside less than 5 km (3 miles) from the coast and 7 km (4 miles) from the modern town of Menfi. It can be reached in under two hours’ drive from Palermo and is close to historical sites such as Selinunte and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.
