Tra i Frutti

Welcome to Sicily and the Valley of the Temples. Welcome to Racamulto, the birthplace of Leonardo Sciascia, with its array of grottos, churches and ancient sulphur-mines and an ideal point of departure for the traveller keen to enjoy some of the most breathtaking locations Sicily has to offer.
Welcome to Contrada Culmitella, a area that lies between the hills and the sea, set amid olive trees, citrus groves and vineyards, a unique place where you can relish the fragrance of almond flowers. We welcome you amid the fruit and to the countryside, where the weary traveller can rest and unwind after a sunlit day spent discovering beaches, hamlets perched beneath imposing towers, timeworn churches, winding country roads and mountain pathways.
Welcome to this land, immersed in silence, where you will be quite amazed at how many places there are to be explored, places known only to the few, each shrouded in its own age-old history and secrets, places awaiting to be revealed to curious eyes.
We look forward to meeting you.
