La Terra del Mezzo is a charming agriturismo located in the heart of the citrus groves surrounding the seaside district of Torre Archirafi, in the municipality of Riposto. This residence, restored in 2007, stands on ancient rural buildings once dedicated to viticulture and later transformed into lemon and orange groves during the 20th century. Today, thanks to the dedication of the Pennisi family, each guest can immerse themselves in genuine Sicilian hospitality, surrounded by the rich nature of this corner of Sicily.
The agriturismo offers ten elegantly furnished rooms, six of which are doubles, with some located on the ground floor and others on the first, all complete with private bathrooms. Family rooms are available, providing extra space for families seeking comfort. Every morning, guests can enjoy a breakfast made with fresh ingredients, including citrus juices and homemade pastries, to be savored in the dining room or outdoors, under the shade of fragrant lemons.
The restaurant at La Terra del Mezzo is a real gem, also open to the public. The menu changes daily and features delights from Sicilian tradition, from fish and meat dishes to fresh vegetables, beautifully accompanied by local wines. Not to be missed are the rustic appetizers made with passion by chef Serafina Leonardi and the first courses created by chef Gianni Pennisi, which enhance the authentic flavors of the land.
The strategic location of the facility allows for exploration of Sicilian wonders. Within a short distance are the coast of Torre Archirafi and points of interest such as Acireale, Taormina, and the majestic Etna. The beauty of the landscapes and the cultural richness of the region offer endless opportunities for discovery, making every stay an unforgettable experience.
The welcoming atmosphere and courtesy of the Pennisi family create a family environment where every guest is treated as part of their story. With a courtyard for little ones and attentive service, La Terra del Mezzo becomes the perfect refuge for those seeking tranquility and authenticity in Sicily.
