Susafa
There are places designed to offer a true refuge for the soul.
Places offering real peace, where the rhythms of rural life and pastoral visions are in harmony. Places where time passes slowly, nourished by flavours, fragrances and peace.

You’re at Susafa, an old farmhouse, now a countryside retreat.
Staying with us will make you feel connected to Sicily’s soul, made up of invigorating colours and fragrances, centuries-old traditions and customs. Here, nature is celebrated: quiet spaces to relax, seasonal ingredients served at the table every day, homemade bread paired with Susafa Olive Oil, the natural blue of the swimming pool set in a green Mediterranean oasis, walks through fields of grain, and the authentic sounds of nature.

Philosophy
Once at Susafa you will have the feeling of entering into a timeless dimension, distant from the modern world, a place which we have been proud custodians of for over 200 years, offering a variety of services that draw on past history to give greater value to today’s experience.
Susafa is the fruit of the dedication of the Saeli-Rizzuto family, owners and farmers for five generations, committed to passing their fascinating rural culture down the ages.
In 2008, Manfredi took on a new project, planning to share with his guests the oldest traditions and ideas of their history-rich family. Susafa is the result of the wishes of five generations of farmers and entrepreneurs of the Saeli-Rizzuto family, to preserve and reinvigorate the glorious past of their rural culture.
Restaurant
Susafa’s restaurant is located in what used to be the old granary, an austere but evocative space. Here within stout stone walls, the atmosphere has the warmth of memories past, but with a subtle, contemporary note. While the hearth warms the emotions, aromas waft beneath the broad vault of the roof. Meanwhile, the palate is waiting: there's the scent of something good in the air…
VISITFlavours of Susafa
Above all we are inspired by rural culture, a call to return to our origins, to good food, to seasonal values and rhythms which still define every harvest and crop. Wild fennel, only available for a brief period in the year, or green vegetables such as spinach, or chard. Our organic olive oil, too, which blends with all the flavours, along with oven-fresh bread, made with care at Susafa with our own flour. Then there's the cook, with whom you can take a walk in the garden and chat about the evening menu, made from typical produce in the culinary tradition, reinterpreted for today.
A garden and so many stories
Caring for a garden is the way to harmonise with tradition, and follow nature’s rhythms. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, aubergine, peppers, onions, potatoes and many other delicacies, are used in the chef’s recipes, and served at the table. The chef will usually be found in the kitchen or the garden. Guaranteed fresh and authentic, at all times.
