We are entering our sixth year of producing “Lalia”, a brand of organically-grown extra virgin olive oil. It is a blend of Nocellara del Belice (60%), Biancolilla (10%) and Cerasuola (30%) that goes well with all dishes that are vegetable-based, as well as with salads and bean soups. It is exceptional on pizza. The new holiday farm, extracted from structures originally used to support the farm’s agricultural activity, contains three apartments. Each is equipped with rooms that include bath, living area and fireplace. The farm is located in the center of Sicily on a high hill at 700 meters above sea level. We are an hour drive by car from Palermo, Cefalù and Agrigento in a territory less-frequented but rich in charm, preserving the uniqueness of the Sicilian countryside. At only 5 kilometers from our farm, you will find the Grotte della Gurfa, an ancient rocky settlement. The farm is at the center of the “Strada dei Formaggi” (Road of the Cheeses), offering you the opportunity to sample and purchase the best cheeses of the region’s dairy production. We are also at the center of an ideal route for wine and food-tasting, including the wine-producing businesses for the brands Regaleali (only 20 minutes by car), Feudo Montoni, Tortoresi and Castellucci Miano. We welcome you to experience a delightful Sicilian farm holiday. Come visit us, stay at our authentic farm and taste our exquisite products (Lalia organic extra virgin olive oil, honey and cheese). Enjoy your holiday in Sicily, where you can visit the island’s beautiful inland landscape. Come to Alia. Come visit us, discover the charm of rural Sicily.
