Description of the countryside guesthouse
“La Terra del Mezzo” was built in 2007 from a set of refurbished old country houses in the outskirts of Torre Archirafi, a little fishermen’s village in the north-east coast of Sicily. The complex is within a family owned citrus orchard which has been running as an agricultural outfit for many decades – once a vineyard, it was converted into a lemon orchard only four decades ago, and we still grow lemons, oranges, and various vegetables throughout the year.
“La Terra del Mezzo” is a family run business, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly, in the quiet surroundings of the vast countryside. The reception area has a common room for the guests’ perusal. It is adjacent to the spacious parking area within our grounds. The rooms and the restaurant are within short walking distance (50 meters) from the reception area.
The complex has six double rooms, and four suites (it accommodates 24 in total), large outdoor areas, a common room with a TV and a bar in the reception area, a playground; there are also some bicycles for the guests to enjoy the countryside. Italian breakfast is served every morning. The restaurant offers local specialities which can be enjoyed half- or full-board as a fixed fish or meat menu which varies on a daily basis, along with white or red Sicilian wines.
