Reviews for La Foresteria Planetaestate

Review 1：A most beautiful place with fantastic rooms, super large bed and beautiful decor. Staff extremely nice. Not a very cheap place but great joyful stay. Cooking class is great too.

Review 2：Unchanging and limited choice on menu if not a fish lover.Food expensive for what it offered with no flexibility on the two set menus. Limited facilities when the weather prevented use of the pool or travel.

Review 3：Rooms excellent, well furnished and comfortable bed, large bathroom. Nice pool and no fighting for beds. Quiet and peaceful.

Review 4：Remainder of staff were unhelpful and not friendly. Dangerous state of decking. Poor breakfast - same cakes put out as the previous day. Staff event hosted which took over hotel for two days. Advised two weeks before arrival of this and unable to have dinner (other than set menu) or have a wine tasting despite having requested both at time of booking several months prior to this. When complained was informed the event "was for the benefit of the company". Paying guests at the hotel are not valued.

Review 5：Lovely views and a scenic area. One friendly waiter at breakfast.

Review 6：The restaurant is a bit stuffy.

Review 7：The pool area was fantastic and v quiet. The room was beautiful. The overall location is fantastic and the nearby Lido Fiori beach facility was an unexpected but very welcome surprise. Much less formal than the hotel.

Review 8：Nothing.

Review 9：This small hotel is set on the hillside, amid vineyards and fruit groves. The location is peaceful with views across the countryside to the sea. Parking under shade is available. The room was spacious with plenty of amenities. The dining and wine were excellent and prices realistic. The beach club was so relaxing. Staff were great too.

Review 10：We could have been offered or told about the possibility of a transfer/shuttle to the vineyard. We weren't aware this was an option.

Review 11：Cozy and exquisite hotel, made my birthday stay - amazing

Review 12：Some noise early morning from tractors and farm workers, but inevitable if you are in the middle of a vineyard.

Review 13：Beautiful position in the middle of vineyards with the sea in the distance. Lovely pool. Beach very well arranged and totally secluded, perfect lunches provided. Excellent wines.

Review 14：Convenientely located among green wine yards and yellow colored fields, nestled in the low rolling hills of Menfi, it is just few minutes from the cristal clear water and white beach of Porto Palo di Menfi. The place is amazing. Nice staff. Stunning infinity pool, magically colored at sunset. Delicious food. Great chef. The restaurant is in a wonderful position, overlooking the countryside up to the sea. Very comfortable queen size bed in our junior suite room. If you want to relax, drink some of the best Sicilian wines while tasting the marvelous products of the land of Sicily, that's the place!

Review 15：A must visit Wine estate in a beautiful surrounding with infinity pool overlooking the green landscape. Everything was top class; the service, tasting menu, room and off cause the wine! Check in and enjoy :-)

Review 16：La Foresteria is a peaceful and relatively luxurious rural establishment. Being part of the planeta estate - vineyards and olive groves - it has certain advantages -tours and tastings which together with its pool and restaurant at the residential location and the lovely beach club villa and facilities makes it a great place for a week.

Review 17：The bed was large but uncomfortable.

Review 18：Excellent base for a few days to explore the region and local attractions. We had great food at breakfast and dinner. Wish we stayed longer.

Review 19：It's not easy to find this place.

Review 20：Stuff and the view from the hotel are fantastic!Food and atmosphere at the restaurant are also very nice. スタッフ、ホテルからの景色は素晴らしいです。食事も、レストランの雰囲気も最高です。のんびりするには最高のホテルです。

Review 21：The only thing I didn't like at the hotel itself was that there was no fresh squeezed juice at breakfast. Also the beach club is fine, but not up tot he same extremely high standards at the hotel.

Review 22：Amazing location, great service, fab food. The perfect getaway.

Review 23：It's very hard to find any fault.

Review 24：The whole experience...! I was going to highlight the food and wine in particular (which are indescribable) but your mind inevitably then wanders to the staff, location, serenity, facilities etc which support and feed into their excellence.

Review 25：Friendly service, excellent location. Comfortable, tasteful room with modern bathroom. Kettle provided which was a real treat in Sicily! Would consider returning and could have stayed more than one night.

Review 26：The helpful and enthusiastic young staff. The beautiful setting with views over herbs and vines to the mediterranean. Large comfortable rooms. Delicious tasting menus. Convenient position close to large variety of interesting places to visit.

Review 27：Didn't love the cats in the dining area begging for food. They did need to be fed because they were so skinny and maybe if the resort fed them they wouldn't hang around waiting for table scraps.

Review 28：Location - rural setting. Very relaxing and a little bit indulgent. Food was great and the wine excellent. The view to the ocean was breath taking.

Review 29：Quality of food at dinner was good but could be improved a bit to match the quality of the wine.

Review 30：Lovely big comfortable bed room Beautiful pool area with great views & bar staff Yummy wine & wine tasting session Pretty beach area nicely maintained by friendly people . Please feed the little stray grey kitten at dinner time !!!

Review 31：There was nothing not to like

Review 32：The views from my bedroom amazing. The guidance provided by the Somelieroutstanding.Overall a great property in a great location and if you want to take additional excursions. I found myself enjoying the property so much that I left the exploring for later The food was good. I expected more. I did enjoy the cooking class.

Review 33：The pool is probably a better setting than the beach club and the sunbeds are a better quality by the pool.

Review 34：La Foresteria is set in a gorgeous location and everything looks even better in real life. The pool is stunning especially at sunset and the restaurant terrace is absolutely beautiful. The food and the wine are also excellent. The rooms have real character and the bathrooms finished to a high standard. Would have stayed for two nights if possible.

Review 35：Great vineyard views, infinity pool, fantastic large bedroom and bathroom with herb garden patio, fine wines and dining. Helpful hint - Use coordinates on GPS to find location!

Review 36：Overpriced and lacking charm by staff who ask you for room number whenever you sit down - twice at breakfast ! - despite only 14 rooms and v isolated spot . Tasting menu at 45 euro nice but only 25 euro at similar place in randazzo . 10 euro per glass wine even for less special wines. Very lovely location with great beach facilities. A bit of charm and lowering of prices and would be perfect !

Fabulous food and the most attententive and friendly staff who did all they could to make you feel welcome and at home. Very personal and wonderful experience. Worth every penny!

Review 66：Excellent location and our room was quite wonderful with a view over the vineyards and sea in the background. The breakfast and evening meals were delicious. Staff most helpful and friendly. Their spoken English outstanding. We have just received a box of wine that we ordered. The whites are well worth paying for! The pool is of a good depth and the late afternoon swims were a highlight of the day. The location is good for seeing this part of Sicily and journey from Trapani airport is fairly easy to navigate. We met some very interesting people at this hotel and would certainly stay again.

Review 67：Hotel guests sit at one large table for dinner. Generally we found the other guests interesting dinner companions but there were exceptions.

Review 68：This is a very stylish country hotel in a lovely rural part of Sicily. There are beautiful views of vineyards and fields from the terrace, the pool and the restaurant.
