Reaching the road that takes to the Park of Etna the Agriturismo Arrigo (country farmhouse accommodation) located in Linguaglossa is seen as a nineteenth century rural construction. The interior with rafters, brick flooring and the rustic-refined furnishings offer a cozy atmosphere that reflects the hospitality and the kindness of the proprietors. Divided into three sections, this beautiful farmhouse has, inside the main body, a common room (millstone) where it is possible to stay in complete relaxation, reading or simply resting; at the two ends, 4 air conditioned rooms well equipped with private bath are clearly comfortable and inviting. Furnished with care and equipped with large wrought iron beds, they distinguish themselves for the largeness and the quality of the finishings. From the room's terraces the view of the Etna dominates the landscape and invites you to take pleasant excursions, on foot, with a mountain bike or with an all-terrain vehicle, all with the possibility of being accompanied by a guide.
Staying at this rural farmhouse accommodation you will have the possibility of tasting typical products of Sicily. The lands that surround the farmhouse contain the typical fertility of the black volcanic earth and guests may enjoy delicious jams biologically made, honey from Zagara and typical home-made cheeses, fresh fruit, wines and olive oil. The breakfast that is served under the shade of an olive tree, in the heart of this Sicilian accommodation, far from the hustle and bustle of the city and from the daily frenzy may be a really unusual and much appreciated experience. Near the farmstead guests may make use of restaurants, the pool and conventional golf clubs; and a few kilometres the beaches of the Ionian coast the wellness centre of the Acireale health-spa hold more satisfactions.
A rural farm holiday means excursions, sports itineraries and activities. The area of the Piano Provenzana is known for its skiing area that holds winter sports; from these one may enjoy organised outings that, entering in the Parco dell'Etna (Etna Park), reach the fascinating craters of the mountain-tops sommita at over 2500 metres in altitude. From here one can see the mountain's constant, underground spectacular and terrifying activity. If you wish to take a walk away from the sun's rays Pineta Ragabo is a fascinating place with pathways filled with Pine forests and impressive secular beech trees and white birch trees.

The Gorges of Alcantara represent an athletic excursion amongst basalt columns and water routes that follow the flows of lava between lakes, waterfalls and small beaches.
The Parco di Nebrodi (Nebrodi Park), 50.000 hectares of fields and streams, and the citrus orchards in the Mediterranean vegetation of the Riserva Naturale di Fiumefreddo (the Fiumefreddo Natural Reservation) confirm the truly extraordinary quality of the excursions to take around Etna.
In the province of Messina, Savoca stands out for its many churches and is famous for having been the set of the film “The Godfather”. A short distance away Casalvecchio Siculo has a beautiful historic centre that leads to the Chiesa dei Santissimi Pietro e Paolo (the Church of Saints Peter and Paul): destination for many visitors that holds a peculiarity in its external arcades and in the Greek Byzantine inscriptions of its façade.
A few kilometres from the farmhouse Arrigo an outing to Taormina will leave you enchanted and captivated
An extraordinary place, rich with culture and unforgettable landscapes.
From the Greek theatre, home to numerous cultural events tied to the cinema and to the arts, at the Duomo di San Nicola (Church of San Nicola) at the Chiesa di San Pancrazio (Church of San Pancrazio) made of stone from Taormina, every space represents great interest and fascination.
In conclusion do not forget to honour the traditional pastry shops: from marzipans to croquettes, to ricotta cheese cannoli, to shaved ice drinks, to pistachios and to hazelnuts. These are all “sins” that one may commit during a healthy and genuine vacation such as this one.
