The agriturismo is part of the age-old family farm, specialising in the cultivation of olives and production of extra virgin oil of “the finest quality.

The farm diversifies its core farming business by offering hospitality services. Available to guests are three apartments and an exquisite double room for a total of 12 beds.

Those who wish a break and enjoy good food may taste an ample selection of the finest local products in the farm's dining hall. Those who simply want to relax with a good book, may choose one from the library and enjoy it by the fireside.

Housing

Torrino dei Gelsi is made up by a single country house with adjacent farm tower dating back to 1100. The architecture of the farmhouse takes us back far in time to a long forgotten rural past.

4 exquisite apartments are available, two of which with kitchenettes, as well as a double room. All are endowed with the full range of facilities.

The old farmhouse has recently undergone a restructuring that while consolidating the structure has safeguarded its original aspect, from the tuff, stone and brick walls to the roofing in handmade tiles, from the ceiling with chestnut wood truss to the flooring in handmade terracotta tiles.

Furnishings are in perfect rural style so as to provide guests the perfect setting for dream journey back into time, when man still lived to the rhythm of nature.
