La Foresteria Planeta Wine Resort & Beach Club

Beautiful resort with an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. Rooms were superior to most with a beautiful view of the vineyards. We were part of a tour group of 15 so our dinners were large affairs, Nevertheless, the food was terrific and very big portions. Planeta Wine has a huge production, 2.5 million cases per year, and the wines are mostly in the $10-$20 range. Nothing special, mostly table wines. But they do make a couple of other that cost up to $80, so ask for samples. They will ship wines back to the US, but when all is considered, there's not a worthwhile savings.

Lovely food and wines, an excellent beach club as part of the package, excellent rooms and all at a very fair price for what you get. Close to Selinunte and just over an hour from both Agrigento and Palermo airport - both an easy drive. A very special place.

I had tried to book a night here but it was full. Fortunately I looked a few weeks later & they had a room. Stunning views done to the sea. Our room opened onto a herb garden with the view behind. The infinity pool was most welcome in 30c weather. We chose the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings and each dish was beautifully prepared and delicate tasting. We couldn’t decide which course was our favourite. They accommodated our son who just wanted a la carte. Hospitality was friendly & courteous. We should have stayed another night.

Visited in August 2023 having visited 10 years prior- it is a fantastic spot with great views and lots of things to do in the local area. The pool is fantastic and having the beach club is a nice added bonus- we spent 2 days down there and enjoyed the food and ambience. In terms of the hotel - most of the staff were great and really helpful but a few front of house staff members were surly and honestly a bit aggressive with the sales pitch for having dinner or doing cooking classes etc. They ask you ‘what time you will join for dinner’ rather than ‘if’. We enjoyed our meal there but we didn’t feel we wanted to stay in the hotel 24/7 and enjoyed going to other local places- but when you say you’re not saying for dinner they are totally disinterested and a bit rude. It soured the stay a little bit but honestly it’s a great hotel with great location and the wine is fantastic. If you can deal with the hard sell then it’s worth it.

Lovely position into the wine yards of Planeta. Very professional staff, attentive of the detail! Food experience at restaurant was excellent! Not to mention the breakfast (all local products). Very delicious dishes, well curated! Room with a good view on the country. Well organized also the service at the Insula beach!

Stunning setting, very convenient location to explore the area and excellent service. We loved the decor, breakfast was a treat, aperitivo by the pool made special by some interesting wine recommendations and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you are planning to visit the area, this is a great place to stay at. We highly recommend it and hope to be back soon!
