The sweet hills of Castelbuono, medieval city in Palermo province, host the elegant and exclusive Relais Santa Anastasia. The Relais is close to the renowned tourist centre of Cefalù. It is just 100 km far from Palermo and 200 km from Catania, easily reachable through the motorway in less than one hour.
The Relais Sant’Anastasia, result of the renovation of a medieval Benedictine monks abbey of the XII century, is a luxury residence with an ancient atmosphere. Restored with care, paying attention to every single detail, the Relais receives the guests among valuable furniture and elegant wallpapers, with a fascinating atmosphere surrounded by the evocative panorama of the Parco delle Madonie.
All the rooms’ names come from the wine varieties to underline the strong bond with the wine culture of this region. They are furnished in an elegant way and have modern technologies that are well combined with the room’s style.
The Relais Sant’Anastasia has 29 rooms of different categories: 2 Singles, 19 Classic, 4 Deluxe, 2 Junior Suite and 2 Grand Suites. Wood gives a warmth and intimacy sense while the wide windows give light and breathtaking views.
The restaurant “La Corte dell’Abate” receives the guests in a very elegant atmosphere; it is usually used for dinner and, during particular events, as banquet hall. It proposes traditional delicious dishes of local and regional cuisine. Breakfast and lunch are served at the restaurant “Sapori e Colori”, in a fresh and informal atmosphere. It is situated near the swimming pool and it is possible to eat there during the whole day.
The Canteen Abbazia Sant’Anastasia is just close to the Relais; the chance is unique to visit this eno-agricultural establishment because of its ancient history. It dedicates itself to the land with energy and love, reflecting this passion in the high quality of its wine.
There is a “Reading Room”, conceived for moments of peace accompanied by a good book and relaxing music, and a “Relax Room Adelasia” projected for group games like chess, checkers and playing cards.
