In Menfi, on the southwest coast of Sicily, below Palermo, you will find the new La Foresteria, a wonderfully deserted spot where everything is about peace, enjoyment and good food and drinks. Because it is so remote and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, you will smell nothing from your sunbed by the pool but the scent of rosemary, thyme and basil from the surrounding valley. And what the cook is preparing that day. There is no need to be bored (that is, other than being bored on holiday): the beach is only 4 km away and Menfi is a typical Sicilian village with a market square and an ice cream stall. The Guesthouse
