About us

Our work motivates us to give our customers the best of ourselves. Every day we face new challenges with responsibility because we want to give shape to our ideas.

Contrada Crete cucina agricola was born to let you explore the unique charm of rural Sicily through food and art.

The company was founded by Rossella Anna Battaglia in 2019 as a restaurant with a Farm To Table formula.

It is located in the heart of Sicily, in Valledolmo, a few kms from the Madonie mountains.

Our history

The road has been intense, but with determination and focus we are now happy to share this space with you!

2019

The land was purchased and the company founded. The company relies on the work of the engineer Orazio Oddo for the preparation of a project to be presented to the GAL ISC Madonie relating to the PSR Sicily 2014-2022, for measure 19.2/6.2 A (Area 2) "Aid for starting up businesses entrepreneurial activities for non-agricultural activities in rural areas" and 19.2/6.4 C (Area 2) "Investments for the creation and development of non-agricultural activities - Support for the creation or development of non-agricultural enterprises in the Commerce, Craft, Tourism, Services and Technological Innovation".

The intervention area of the GAL ISC Madonie includes 33 municipalities, including Valledolmo, in the province of Palermo, where the company is located.

2020 

With the Covid-19 pandemic, the process comes to a halt.

However, the entire year in question will be productive because new ideas will be developed for the future management of the program.

2021 

The final ranking is published on the GAL ISC Madonie website and the company is the winner of both measures

Research begins for the demolition and reconstruction of an old building on the land.

2022 

On May 20th, the start of the renovation works was announced, which will continue throughout 2023. It is a year of intense work and fruitful collaborations that will be structured in the years to come; one of these with the company Amorello SRL, from Valledolmo, which organizes the renovation works with great reliability. 

The company establishes a relationship of mutual trust with them, a fundamental principle underlying the company's values.

2023 

Numerous professional figures and managers works on the project: all of our gratitude goes to them for being trustworthy and reliable throughout the whole process. 

2024

The renovation works end and it's the year of the opening.

"Contrada Crete cucina agricola" is on social media and can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to experience a moment of tranquility in the countryside to relax and enjoy rural tranquility while tasting excellent wine and well-thought dishes.
