The Valle d'Agro lies on the eastern slopes of Mount Peloritani, in the Province of Messina and owes its name to the river that ploughs a furrow along its entire length. Beautiful landscapes, endless horizons, clear sea, verdant countryside, centuries-old Sicilian traditions that are still very much part of the present: this strip of Sicily allows us to “plunge into the emotions of the past” and is still influenced by a number of deep-rooted cultures, both sacred and profane. Due to the nature of its territory and of its position, the Valle d'Agro has been a crossroads where many powers have met: Greek, Roman, Arab, Byzantine, Norman and Bourbon. Today as yesterday, it retains a great artistic heritage and excellent culinary tradition, linked to the products of the land and of the sea. Here the legends of the past have become the present reality.
