FARMHOUSE
Fontana del Cherubino
Welcome to Your Home in Sicily at the “Farmhouse Fontana del Cherubino”
The farmhouse Fontana del Cherubino in Sicily, created in 2007, is one of the world’s premier locations for restful rejuvenation.
The name Fontana del Cherubino derives from an ancient fountain located in the area, built in 1757 but which is still used as a water supply for the region. Cradled between the historic valley of Mt. Etna and the fertile plains of Catania, this farmhouse creates extra-virgin olive oil.
The olives that produce the extra-virgin olio of Cherubino are grown in the volcanic soil of nearby Etna, a ground ideally suited for the cultivation of olives, grapes and citrus fruits. The original olive groves were planted by the founding family member at the end of the XIX century with the cultivation of Nocellara Etnea, that still constitutes the main variety together with Biancolilla and other selections.
The nature surrounding Turismo Rurale Fontana del Cherubino is both wild and picturesque, and the nearby attractions (first and foremost Mount Etna, but also Taormina, Siracusa, Ragusa, Piazza Armerina, etc.) are numerous and easily accessible.
In the surrounding area, you can find fascinating remnants of pre-Christian, medieval, and Arab civilizations.
This is truly a great reason to spend your vacation with us, enjoying a warm family welcome, personalized cuisine, and spectacular surroundings.
