Huw's View

Enjoying the most wonderful countryside views, Susafa is situated in the heart of the countryside yet more or less equidistance between Palermo and Catania and between Cefalù and Agrigento and therefore an ideal location for touring the island and for multicentre holidays.

For five generations, the family who have farmed the land and passed down their fascinating traditions, now invite guests to share this authentic country lifestyle, whilst enjoying the comfort of this beautifully furnished country hotel. There are just 14 guest rooms and the 4 suites which were brand new for 2018.

In the gardens, they grow their own vegetables and produce olive oil from the surrounding olive groves. The pool area is lovely, extremely peaceful with an amazing view over the Parco delle Madonie. 

Susafa was awarded Best Small & Exclusive Property in the Conde Nast 2018 Annual Awards for Excellence and Best for Weddings, Parties and Special Occasions in the Conde Nast 2020 Awards for Excellence.
