Francesca Planeta, President of Planeta Estate, is part of the National Association of Women in Wine, which has always been committed to supporting gender equality and against violence against women, through the #tunonseisola initiative, which brings together awareness-raising and charity activities to combat discrimination, wage inequality and gender violence. This commitment is carried out through concrete projects such as, for example, the recent presentation of the non-profit organization "Marisa Leo APS" last February, dedicated to Marisa Leo, who was killed on September 6, 2023, by the father of her daughter, born with the aim of spreading the culture of respect. Planeta Estate joined this 'initiative aimed, not only to honor the memory of the woman, but also to actively contribute to the defense of women in the fight against patriarchy.
La Foresteria Planeta is a wine resort in the heart of western Sicily, perched on a scenic hilltop overlooking the sea, with some of the island's most breathtaking sunsets as its backdrop. Set among the vineyards and olive groves of the Menfi countryside, it stands close to archaeological sites and nature reserves.
This warm, welcoming house embodies the essence and style of the Planeta family's hospitality — the ideal retreat for anyone seeking a peaceful escape. Its 14 rooms take their names from the aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean garden that surrounds them, each one fitted with every comfort and furnished in its own style, striking a fine balance between elegance and function.
Every room opens onto a private terrace looking out over the sea or the Menfi countryside. A walk through the garden leads to a stunning infinity pool, perfect for a refreshing dip after a day in the Sicilian sun, or for a quiet moment of calm as the sun goes down. A kitchen rich in local flavours and the estate's own excellent wines round out a stay that is, in every sense, an experience of nature and culture in equal measure.
