We are
TERRE DEL FAVONIO
There is a place of ancient beauty, of sun and wind, of salt waters and vast horizons; an island in an island that believes in the value of respect, in the value of kindness and sharing. For us, it is the place where we tend the land, cultivating it sustainably and gratefully reaping its fruits. It is a place where we share the values that we believe in. It is a place where we offer authentic Sicilian hospitality and showcase the flavours of our land.
Terre del Favonio is a refuge that embraces you in the immense beauty of nature.

THE FLAVOURS OF THE ISLAND
“I need to know the history of the food. I have to know where it comes from.
I have to imagine the hands that grew, processed, and cooked everything I eat.”.
Carlo Petrini
THE RESTAURANT
ON THE SEA
At the end of a road lined with drystone walls and fragrant with wild fennel, down towards the horizon between Levanzo and Marettimo, lies ‘Cibo Chiacchiere Vino’, our little Restaurant by the sea, immersed in the nature of Cala del Pozzo amid sunsets, limestone rocks, and wild herbs. Every day we grace the table with the products of our farm, the creations of our oven, the finest ingredients, and the best wines of our territory. Our simple cuisine showcases the authentic flavours of our land.
THE RESIDENCES
Hospitality, respect, and sharing are the soul of Terre del Favonio, the values that guide everything we do. And they are the values behind our Residences, places of healthy nourishment where you fall asleep and wake up to the rhythm of nature, among wild olive trees and the fragrant Mediterranean scrub, breathing in the natural beauty of a refined and familiar setting. Breakfast overlooking the sea, the scents of the island, walks at sunset, and the warmth of authentic Sicilian hospitality enhance the pleasure of the time drifting slowly by.
PHILOSOPHY
“Behind the food there are producers, work, passion, territories, emotions, and pleasure.
We pay tribute to local and seasonal ingredients;
we promote respect for the environment through the sustainable use of resources.”
Ginevra, per Terre del Favonio
