Planeta Estate Hospitality's Autumn

FRANCESCA PLANETA PRESENTS PLANETA ESTATE HOSPITALITY’S AUTUMN 2024 OFFERINGS

Autumn in Sicily is a time when summer gives way to an explosion of warm colors and intense aromas. Here, you can discover ancient traditions, savor the authentic flavors of local cuisine, and stroll through sun-kissed vineyards and olive groves. Be enchanted by breathtaking landscapes, deserted beaches, and historic villages in an atmosphere of tranquility and beauty that only Sicily can offer in this unique season.

“September and October are the most meaningful months for our family, dedicated to the grape and olive harvest, traditional moments we have celebrated for generations,” says Francesca Planeta. “We invite you to join us in Sicily, to experience these ancient customs firsthand, taste the fruits of our land, and immerse yourself in the authentic and welcoming atmosphere that defines this special time of year.”

Planeta Estate Hospitality celebrates this season with a variety of enticing stay, gastronomic, and experiential offers: autumn-themed menus, special dinners, tours of olive groves and mills, walks through the pristine landscapes between ancient farmhouses and olive trees, and sunset aperitifs to bid farewell to summer.
