A HISTORIC RESIDENCE AND FAI PARTNER
Relais San Giuliano has always been a lucky, much-loved wine-producing estate, since the days of the Marchesi di San Giuliano. It’s a treasure we’re proud to count among the Historic Homes of Italy and among the FAI’s partner sites.
This fertile hillside was once covered in vineyards and wine cellars.
Where the massaro’s house, the old palmento, the cart house and the stables once stood, you’ll now find rooms, suites and shared spaces that dress the past in modern elegance.
TO THE RHYTHM OF NATURE
At Relais San Giuliano, luxury moves at nature’s own pace set to the rhythm of nature. This peaceful retreat just outside the city can be shaped entirely around you, with activities for mind and body and every comfort you could wish for.
For our owners, bringing back the estate’s old beauty is a mission close to their hearts. Hospitality is a calling here.
RELAIS SAN GIULIANO: WELLNESS, ALL AROUND YOU
You’ll find it all at Relais San Giuliano: a large open-air pool with sundeck, whirlpool and pool bar, a SPA staffed by holistic-treatment specialists, and a gym kitted out with the best Technogym equipment.
FINE DINING AT THE IPALICI RESTAURANT
Countryside and sea meet with real finesse in the signature dishes of Giuseppe Corda, chef at iPalici. Expect an extraordinary, sustainable Sicilian fine-dining experience, one that will win over even the most discerning guests.
Every dish on the menu balances brio with restraint. Each one recreates nature’s scents and colours, drawing on what the season offers and on the deep flavours of tradition.
SABBIA NERA SPA:
A REFUGE OF AUTHENTIC WELLNESS ON ETNA
Beauty and holistic wellbeing come together in the treatments at Sabbia Nera, our SPA. Even the name speaks to a deep bond with the nature Etna has shaped.
Like the volcano’s own force, the SPA’s treatments restore your energy. They rely on wonderful local ingredients, like balsamic extracts from volcanic plants and Mediterranean essential oils.
