This is the perfect spot to refresh yourself on the hike. It’s about 25 minutes in and is so necessary if you have kids. The granitas revitalized them. Amazing views and tables built into the mountain.

What a LOVELY place. The orange juice is so tasty, the coffee is great and gives you power for the way. The owner is such a nice and welcoming guy. We were speechless. Best experience to go there on the whole path of gods! Highly recommended!!

We by chance stumbled across this place - an ice cold lemon granita, home made fizzy wine, meats, cheeses and breads with a stunning view. Plus an elderly farmer gave us some freshly picked peas from the garden! Lemons hang around everywhere, and the home made wooden veranda is amongst lush trees that provide some much needed shade. The food, the view, and the hospitality were amazing - thank you Franco, it was the best!!!

The atmosphere is 10 stars. The gentleman running the place (perhaps he is Ulisse), is a wonderful human being. Thank you today for the espresso and granitas for our two young boys. Very kind of you, we will never forget. A MUST STOP hiking path of the gods.

Great spot for a break on a hot day hiking the Path of Gods. €3 for a frozen lemon (citron granite) and the scenery is super cute. The man who owns the stand wasn’t around but a group of young kids seem to run it for him. They were nice and invited us for some desserts, but we were too full from lunch. Chill vibe and you can sit on the row boat for a picture if you choose.

LOVELY place! Don't miss this gem! Great view, Very kind owner, good coffee and fresh orange and lemon juice. Perfect break on the path of gods. I absolutely loved this creative place with lots of details to discover! He is carrying everything up on his own. Juice is cheap, just 3€ vitamin bomb. :)

A must visit place with homegrown fruits for a freshly squeezed juice and a perfect place to refresh with incredible views to add to the experience. There's an up-deck seating area which is a big recommend. Extraordinary all round.
