Nestled within a vast citrus grove in the Riposto area, La Terra del Mezzo is a rural tourism destination that emerged from the renovation of old agricultural buildings, which were once used for winemaking and have now been transformed into a charming and elegant accommodation. Located just a short distance from the sea at Torre Archirafi, this tranquil oasis is lovingly managed by the Pennisi family, who have tended to the 18 hectares of lemon grove surrounding the property for generations.

The establishment features ten comfortable rooms, including double and family accommodations. Some rooms come with a small private terrace, while others on the first floor offer stunning panoramic views. Two ground-floor rooms are accessible for guests with reduced mobility. All rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, hairdryer, air conditioning, satellite TV, refrigerator, internet connection, and are cleaned daily.

Breakfast is served in the dining room or outdoors, under the shade of the lemon trees. Every morning, Mrs. Adele prepares fresh citrus juices, homemade cakes, and, upon request, a continental breakfast. Guests can enjoy a children's play area, private parking, and a 24-hour reception where Mr. Klaudio is always ready to welcome visitors with kindness and helpfulness.

The on-site restaurant offers a fixed menu that changes daily, featuring traditional Sicilian dishes made with meat, fish, and vegetables, paired with a selection of local wines. The rustic appetizers, handcrafted by Chef Serafina, and the pasta dishes created by Chef Gianni, made with fresh, regional ingredients, provide an authentic journey through the island's flavors. The family atmosphere and the hospitality of the Pennisi family make every meal a memorable experience.

Thanks to its location, La Terra del Mezzo serves as an ideal starting point for exploring eastern Sicily. The sea at Torre Archirafi is just 800 meters away, while the Riposto marina is only 2.5 kilometers from the property. From here, it is easy to reach artistic cities like Acireale, Catania, and Taormina, as well as natural wonders such as the Alcantara Gorges and Mount Etna. It is a perfect spot for those seeking relaxation, authenticity, and the warmth of Sicilian hospitality.
