Nestled in the quiet Sicilian countryside, a few steps from the famous Scala dei Turchi, l’agritourism House Balata offers a culinary experience that goes far beyond a simple meal; for us, it is a daily ritual that celebrates the territory, the seasons and the traditions of southern Sicily.
Local, Non-Tourist Cuisine
In our House Balata you will not find dishes designed to please an increasingly hurried tourist trade, but authentic recipes handed down through the ages e prepared with local ingredients. Each dish tells a story: that of the centuries-old olive trees surrounding the estate, of the herbs gathered in the botanical garden, of the fruits ripened on our sun-kissed hillsides in Sicily.
Fixed Menu Dinner: The Taste of the Seasons
Dinner, reserved exclusively for guests of the facility, is a convivial and genuine moment. The fixed menu changes and is updated according to the rhythm of nature and the availability of local products.
From garden vegetables to home-made preserves, each course is a homage to Sicilian biodiversity. And for those with special dietary requirements, such as celiacs o vegetarians, each dish is adapted with care and skill.
Sicilian Breakfast: A Masked Lunch
The day begins with a breakfast that is like lunch. Freshly baked cakes, fresh yoghurt, homemade jams, homemade bread, seasonal fruit and natural juices: all prepared with genuine ingredients and served with the generosity typical of our land.
A Nurturing Garden
The heart button of House Balata is its botanical garden, a green oasis that is home to aromatic plants, fruit trees and a vast plantation of olive trees. This natural heritage is not just decorative: it is the living larder from which the farmhouse kitchen is born. Here, every ingredient has a certain provenance and a story to tell.
Stroll freely around our estate breathing in and savouring scents and aromas impossible to find elsewhere, and let your eyes rest lulled by the breathtaking scenery and warm breezes of our hills.
Only for those who live at home Balata
To ensure a full and intimate experience during the conviviality of our kitchen, we have reserved catering for hotel guests only. This guarantees an intimate, familiar and authentic atmosphere, where every meal becomes an opportunity to meet, discover and share.
