Caltagirone, well known for its exquisite pottery ware, is just 25 minutes away; the Roman Villa del Casale and Piazza Armerina are 30 minutes away. Noto and Siracusa's Greek theatres are not far. The closest beach is Scoglitti, about 10 km from the Wine Relais, but the beaches of Licata and Falconara Sicula are not much further. Comiso Airport (35 minutes) and Catania Airport (approx. 60 minutes) are the two closest airports.
Hotel
The unique atmosphere and pleasant style of the Wine Relais I Feudi del Pisciotto is a result of the perfect balance between its modern and traditional features. The old 18th century building, originally the largest winery in Sicily, has been artfully reconverted (based on Brandi's approach to restoration) and elegantly furnished. It has 10 rooms and suites, spacious communal areas, a terrace with beautiful views of the vineyards and, of course, a tasting room. There is also a swimming pool, a wellness area and an excellent gourmet restaurant.
Rooms
Categorised as Classic, Superior, Junior Suite and Prestige, the rooms and suites of the Relais are named after the most famous Italian fashion designers (Versace, Blumarine, Missoni, Alberta Ferretti, Ferrè etc.), who all collaborated in the creation of our labels. The rooms are set out over two floors, and each one is unique as they are located in the oldest part of the building and preserve many of the original building’s exquisite features – such as the ancient Greek and Roman wine-making tanks.
