About

On the rolling hills of the Palermo province, where Sicily reveals its true face — vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, golden late-afternoon light, the smell of stone warmed by the sun — Fattoria Manostalla stands as an agricultural estate rooted in several centuries of winemaking history. Villa Chiarelli, the beating heart of the estate, is not an address one stumbles upon by chance: a car is required to reach it, and it is precisely this slight effort that preserves its authentic atmosphere, removed from the ordinary flow of tourism.

The welcome is that of a family home. Stefano and his son orchestrate each stay with genuine warmth, supported by a team that knows exactly when to step back and when to offer a glass of the estate's wine. In the kitchen, the chef transforms local produce into meals that guests will talk about long after — Sicilian meats, garden vegetables, homemade pasta — served under the pergolas or in the villa's grand dining room, depending on the season.

The estate can accommodate large groups, making it ideal for celebrations with friends or family: milestone birthdays shared together, reunions, extended weekends away from everyday life. The rooms, distributed between the villa and the restored farm outbuildings, offer honest comfort in a setting that does most of the work itself. The pool and outdoor spaces quickly become the gravitational center of each day — leisurely hours between tastings, aperitifs that drift on until sunset over the hillsides.

What guests carry home in their luggage is rarely what they expected. Not just the bottle purchased from the cellar, nor the photographs of the vineyards at dawn. It is rather the feeling of having spent a few days inside a Sicily that has not been staged for visitors — an authentic territory, a generous table, and the rare impression of having been received rather than accommodated.

Stefano is a great guy, the Cook as well. They should be the Managers of this property. All in all around good stay at a reasonable price! The venue is next to the highway but comparably silent. Animals all around, the seem to be happy. Food for dinner was amazing!! Breakfast was rather disappointing unfortunately. Pool looked nice but we did not test. The rooms are okay, nothing special.

Fattoria Manostalla is a gem hidden is a beautiful winery hillside. You will need to have a car to this place. No public transportation to this wineyard. Stefano, his son, and staff are fantastic and helpful. The father and son team is the best. Take the dinner. Evening menu differs. You will not be disappointed. We had our dinner in their beautiful, tree covered, welcoming courtyard. The father is an excellent chef. He cooked authentic Sicilian dinner from antipasti, primi to secondi and dessert! Ingredients and meats are all from the farm except the seafood. They make their own excellent wine. All paired perfectly with the meal. We purchased their Catarratto white and Nero d’ Avola red wine. Both are bio and great tasting wines. We stayed 3 days on our 2 weeks in Sicily. They had the best food and service compared to Palermo, Taormina, Giardini Naxos, Letojanni, Catania or Siracusa!!! For our last day in Sicily, we decided to return to Fattoria Manostalla one more time. Last minute booked and very happy to get a room. The place has a wonderful swimming pool to relax to soak in the Sicilian sun. We took advantage of the pool and the surrounding. As a family owned and operated, the surface is rustic, family oriented, clean rooms, great food and wine. One feels like coming home to family or visiting your best friend. They treat everyone as family. We recommend this place to be part of your next trip to Sicily.

We loved this place so much! The rooms were beautiful and had a nice view, it’s quiet, has a pool and very friendly and helpful staff who helped us to book a spontaneous boat trip. Breakfast is served every morning in The beautiful old patio. We especially loved the 4-course dinner that we booked twice: a lot of classic local dishes made mostly from the food they grow on their farm. The chef even made a mozzarella just for us. We enjoyed it very much and would definitely come back again!
