La Terra Del Mezzo

10/10 We found Sicilian hospitality at it’s best! When you stay at La Terra Del Mezzo you will be treated to some of the most delicious food in Sicily and also the kindest people too. Add in the beautiful gardens, and groves of fragrant lemon & orange trees, and you have the perfect Sicilian Agriturismo experience! Thank you to our host Claudio and his family for their truly exceptional hospitality and care during our stay - it was world class! Someday we will come back to enjoy this gem of a place again! Grazie mille a tutti!

Has this place lost its glory? We had a family 2 weeks journey on Sicily for our first time and wanted to experience the local and friendliness culture of this island. We stayed at 5 different places and La terra Del Mezzo was one of them. We had seen some good reviews, nice pictures and great location. We were hoping for a local star! The place is located close to a small village and feels nice. But the streets and the overall area is full of garbage so it reflects a bad review of the overall place. Nothing much the owners can do but if it was my place I would at least clean “my” street. The place is nice, it’s ok but nothing more. It feels like the place had its glory days but and is slowly fading away. To sad, since it could be a star. The real life is nothing like the pictures shows. The rooms are old and needs some renovation. Things are broken that should have been repaired. We even complained about one broken thing and got promised it should be fixed. But nothing happened. Things like the door handle for the refrigerator is broken so it can’t be opened or towel hanger, the shower door, a missing light bulb, the shadow doors for the windows can’t be locked opened and a broken bed. The list gets longer and longer the longer you stay. All broken and can be easily fixed. But they are not. The same goes for the pool and restaurant. A lot of things are broken. Chairs by the pool, curtains by the Terrace etc. Even the pool should be cleaned more regular. The pool area also got a small kiosk. But we never saw it open. The breakfast is traditional Italien but with a great choice of home made cakes? At least they felt home made. We wanted to spend more time by the place and pool but because of all the above things we did not. The owners and family are very nice. The want you all the best and I believe they still got the dreams and spirit of the place. But did the place suffer to much of the pandemic or have they lost the spirit?

Nice hotel located in the beautiful lemon-tree garden. Small and very family friendly. Homemade brekfast and dinner higly recommended. Good location for Etna and different tours on the eastern part of the island. The rooms could need some modernisation soon, but were very clean and the hosts are so extremelly friendly, that we did not care about this at all. Claudio & family thank you for your hospitality and all the best for the future!

This small family hotel is set in lemon orchards and offers a quiet and friendly stay near Etna. Having visited nearby (30 minutes by car) heaving Taormina we were so pleased that we stayed in this gorgeous location. Claudio couldn’t have been more helpful. It was the friendliest stay we had on the island. Dinner was great and we had the option of skipping a course as there is a lot of food. Especially liked the antipasti selection using lots of local vegetables. Room was clean and plenty of space with a balcony on first floor. Fabulous pool and outside seating with shady areas. It felt a privilege to stay on this lovely family farm.

Lovely relaxing place with a good restaurant to discover Sicilian food and wine.

Siamo stati in questo posto speciale per qualche giorno. L'agriturismo, che si trova in un luogo tranquillo e circondato da ettari di agrumeti, ti fa ricaricare le pile dalla routine di tutti i giorni. I proprietari ti fanno sentire a casa, sono gentilissimi e disponibili. I pasti sono preparati da loro, con prodotti locali e di qualità. Cosa che abbiamo apprezzato molto. Un ringraziamento particolare a Gianni, uno dei proprietari, perchè quando ne abbiamo avuto bisogno ci ha fatto capire perché in quel luogo ci si sente a casa. Le stanze sono grandi e pulite, la piscina è bellissima, con vista sul territorio circostante. Lo consigliamo per il luogo e per il cibo, ma soprattutto per la professionalità, la disponibilità e la gentilezza dei proprietari.

Séjour parfait en famille. Un petit hôtel avec vue sur l’Etna. Les chambres sont spacieuses et les enfants bénéficient de leur propre chambre avec 2 lits simples. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux et les dîners sont faits maison par une cuisinière hors paire. Le personnel est aux petits soins et le propriétaire est extraordinaire ! Claudio nous a été d’une aide précieuse allant jusqu’à prendre du temps pour me déposer à la gare et m’aider à m’y retrouver pour prendre mes billets de train. Il est d’une gentillesse à toute épreuve ! Allez-y les yeux fermés.

Zeer vriendelijke familie, broers en mama in de keuken. Twee keer gebruik gemaakt van het diner wat eigenlijk een soort proeverij is van zeven gerechtjes, heerlijk aanrader voor 25 euro. Ontbijt ook prima met lekkere koffie. Kamers eenvoudig, schoon en (voor ons) te harde bedden. Prima ligging voor bezoeken aan Etna noord en zuid, Toarmina en Catania. Aaanrader!

Breve soggiorno durante la vacanza nella bella Sicilia orientale. Un agriturismo ben tenuto nella struttura e nel giardino con piante e fiori splendidi. Bella e confortevole la stanza con ingresso dal balcone da cui si poteva ammirare il mare e sullo sfondo Taormina. Ottimo e accogliente il servizio. ottima la cucina semplice, ma curata come deve essere in un vero agriturismo. Complimenti!!!
