Relais Santa Anastasia

We spent 5 days at this property on a B&B basis; starting with the positive aspects, I would mention their wine and the common areas of the relais. Otherwise a bad experience, enough to make me doubt I would return to the property, inattentive and impolite staff, retro rooms (90s style) with baroque-style curtains and furnishings, presence of ants in the room, and poor customer service. Culinary offerings at the bar limited to piadinas. Restaurant with limited and often repetitive choices, no proposals for outdoor activities, and inside the property there is only the pool and the winery tour as activities. The place is over 25 minutes away from the town of Castelbuono (10 of which are on a rough, partially dark dirt road). Breakfast of poor quality and with little variety.

beautiful property, great restaurant and brealfast, amazing pool, nice position but a big but. the road to reach this resort is simply horrible, not sure why it does not get fixed. we decided not to move out of the hotel too much since everydrive in or out was simply a great pain . potholes, and all sorts of difficulties , making it every time a 10-15 minutes pain before reaching the main road. pity since otherwise enchanting place

I would like to start with the positive things, it is a splendid place, spacious and comfortable rooms with a toilet with a bidet separate from the shower and sink, which I found excellent. Clean. Polite staff but also lazy (not all of course). Large pool with comfortable sun and shade spots. Lacking in the aperitif. And also the restaurant is modest. Same menu with few variations. Desserts practically absent, excellent wine and excellent bread. Breakfast: delightful location. Very disappointing buffet! Freeze-dried orange (in Sicily!!!!!) on the second day was also watered down. Dry brioche and very little variety. In short, for what it costs, definitely not worth it. Quality-price ratio not adequate. 220 euros per night. More is expected, especially at the beginning of the season. Few guests. They attributed the issue to the many weddings in the previous days. What kind of excuse is that? In short, what a shame. Moreover, the road to get from the Madonie is horrible. Very tiring by motorcycle. However, going down to Cefalù is definitely better.
