The
cuisine expresses the flavours of the land of Puglia with its whole grain, extra virgin olive oil, legumes and fresh vegetables grown on the farm accordingly with organic agricultural methods.
The farm house has a large pool, which has been built in the citrus plantation. There is also a church, still used as a church whose interior and sacristy are decorated with frescos of Veronica and of Christ on the cross between Mary and John, and a museum which hosts the collection of tools that were used to cultivate the land, to pick fruit and to raise animals since the early 1800's and the first machines that changed farming at the beginning of last century and also the collection of tools that were used by the Di Giulio's from Brindisi to make wooden barrels since the XVIII century, which was donated to the farmhouse in 2004 by the last cooper of the family.
Where we areIn a land rich with memories, in the vicinity of compelling churches and Basilian caverns, monuments, towers and castles that throughout the perils of time symbolize the prolific civilizations that have been succeeding for thousand of years.
This place has a particular charm: an open space which borders the horizon, variations of ever changing skies, the quietness and fervour of life, the profound silences interrupted only by ancestral sounds, the strong smell of spices and herbs.
The farmhouse has also a riding-ground, together with a centre for raising and training trot-horses. The most experienced guests can go on unforgettable rides along the paths of the estate or of the surrounding fields, as far as the coast.
The less experienced guests or those who want to improve their skills can get lessons from the trainers both during guided rides and in the riding school. Those who love horses can admire them during their daily race-training, while walking among the stables, the paddocks, the two tracks or the steeple-chase area.
The agritouristic activity harmoniously joins the farming activity, as well as the training and the athletic preparation of the trot-horses. Guests are offered the opportunity to learn the farming techniques of a lot of different cultivations, based on biological methods, on the 140 hectares of the estate and the ways in which produces are transformed. Guests can also enjoy mountain-bikes, guided tours of oil-mills and wine-industries.
Located in the centre of the region, the farm house offers an effortless access to different historical and cultural sites, with guided tours organized by the farm. Particularly alluring are the itineraries to the baoque style of Lecce (Lecce, Maglie, Otranto, Tricase), of Valle d'Itria ( Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Alberobello), of the Norman Castle, the different “routes” which connect cities and places to the certified origin of oil or wine which are produced, but also to the natural oasis wwf reserve of Torre Guaceto (4kms away) or to Grottaglie (city of hand-made ceramics).
