Masseria Susafa is a 200-year-old family-run farmhouse that celebrates the beauty of its natural surroundings in every way. It has been the passion of five generations of the Saeli-Rizzuto family – a family of agricultural entrepreneurs, Manfredi Rizzuto and his brother, Tommaso are the owners of this magnificent estate. The farmhouse was renovated maintaining the traditional Sicilian rustic features like terracotta tiles, exposed wooden beams, and stonewalls. The rustic architecture combines with contemporary furnishings and details, creating a perfect juxtaposition between the natural materials and the comfort of modernity.

 

The ancient agricultural traditions of centuries-old rural Sicily are very much alive at Susafa. Living and working in harmony with nature’s bounty, cultivation, restoration, and regeneration are at the heart of the Rizzuto philosophy, as well as their passion for everything seasonal, local, and cultural.

 

Manfredi’s creativity combined with his love for design is visible in the details of the interiors that wisely blend the past with a contemporary style. Wooden ceilings, floors in cotto tiles and original décor, the guestrooms are all located on the ground floor, except from the Grand Suite and have a private entrance. All guestrooms are facing the gardens of the estate.
