Our Story

An organic estate in the heart of Salento

Since 2005, our family has nurtured this house and estate from an abandoned farmhouse into a thriving organic setting. Centuries-old olive trees, citrus groves, and hundreds of plant varieties grow here without pesticides.

The villa was built with eco-friendly materials and runs on solar energy. Staying here means being immersed in a living Mediterranean landscape.
