Susafa
Hospitality according to nature
Susafa, Palermo Countryside
Susafa is a chic but laid-back resort set amidst the wonderful scenery of the Madonie natural park, where everything revolves around the rhythms of nature and rural life. The property is run by Manfredi, the fifth generation of a family of agricultural entrepreneurs who converted this ancient honey-stone farmhouse into an atmospheric country retreat.
A great sense of space and peacefulness pervades the entire property, which retains elements of its glorious past as a thriving working farm, like the impressive storerooms and the old ovens where bread was once baked.
Quiet seating areas are hidden all over the place and there’s a large terrace with undisturbed views of the extraordinary scenery. The glorious pool in the garden is another great spot to enjoy the splendid country setting, surrounded by comfy loungers, verdant plants, and miles of golden fields.
The Susafa team offers a wide range of activities to experience first-hand the magic of this territory, from cherry harvest to delightful picnics in the countryside and fabulous cooking classes focusing on Sicilian delicacies like cannoli and the Palermitan ‘Sfincione’.
Food & Drink
Susafa restaurant is housed inside the old granary, which gives the space a gorgeous rustic vibe, with stone walls, terracotta flooring, a large fireplace, and lots of repurposed antique items conveying a strong sense of history and tradition.
The menu takes inspiration from the island’s rural culture and culinary traditions, using seasonal produce sourced from local farms, as well as ingredients are grown within the property. Bread and pasta are strictly homemade, as it’s the olive oil, which guests can buy on site. The wine list mainly focuses on local blends and the staff is happy to organize wine tastings and share its knowledge of Sicilian wines.
During the day, the wine bar and lounge area set in the old winery are the perfect hideaways to unwind with a drink, and on cold days the fireplace is a great spot to curl up with a book.
