Feudi del Pisciotto
Classic Sicilian lodgings in a burgeoning wine region




One among many in the new breed of wine resorts scattered amidst the fertile plains of south-east Sicily, which are now definitely en vogue. Based around the centuries-old Palmento (wine-making plant), and sweeping vineyards, 10 guest rooms and suites are notable for their respect for the island’s traditions, lodgings complete with classic Sicilian tiles and Caltagirone ceramics coupled with up-to-date, glistening bathrooms. Il Palmento di Feudi Restaurant, offering a view of the barrel room below through its transparent crystal floor, plates sublime local nourishment. Be sure to stop off at the winery, and its proliferating bottles of Frappato and Nero d’Avola grapes with chic labels from the hand of Alberta Ferretti and Versace, among others.
