The farmhouse has belonged to our family since 1700 (the year it was built).
In 1992, together with my husband Antonio and my children Valerio and Stefania, we renovated it and, in August 1996, we launched the agritourism business.
The farmhouse is set within a 25-hectare farm and comprises a large farmyard, extensive green pastures surrounded by centuries-old woods perfect for walking, an olive grove, a vineyard and 17th-century trulli – unique examples of vernacular architecture built from local stone.
There is also a courtyard with chickens and hens, and a little church, where my wedding was held.
I live with my family in the old manor house, built entirely of stone.
Chicca, our donkey, is an integral part of our family.
The farm produces an excellent extra virgin olive oil made from the fruit of a few trees of varieties typical of the Apulian region: Nociara, Leccina, Ogliarola and the local Nozzarola.
The olives are harvested and, with great care and attention, transported to the mill within 24 hours for traditional cold pressing, resulting in an oil with low acidity.
You can purchase our local specialities: extra virgin olive oil, white wine, red wine and jams.
