OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Pasta making and private home cooking chef geboekt bij terra che vive in ons vakantie huis in Puglia. Communicatie vooraf via mail ging zeer soepel en duidelijk. Tot in de puntjes besproken en uitgevoerd! Davide en Fransesco hebben ons de fijne kneepjes van het pasta maken geleerd en ons daarna een heerlijk diner voorgeschoteld. Alles schoon achtergelaten. Ontzettend goed geslaagde avond. Kan dit iedereen aanraden!

    Really enjoyed this tour of this historical olive grove. Lovely informative guide who is family member of the owners. It will definitely be worth visiting when they have completed the museum which is currently being developed. Brought home delicious olive oil!!

    Located within the walls of a traditional Trulli home, we enjoyed the wine tasting which was accompanied by several local cheeses, various sausages and homemade preserves presented by the owner couple. The tour included a look at the wine making premises and operations and a very informative presentation of the area wines by the proprietor, Marcus, himself. Highly recommend this opportunity!

  • We booked the Mozzarella tasting tour, and it exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Marco until the very end of our experience, we felt we were in the hands of real professionals. Marco met us at the farm on time. We had some problems with luggage storate and Marco made sure they were handled before our tour started. He took us to different points of interest, including a demonstration of the making of various cheeses, stories about the farm history and more. The place itself is pleasant and relaxing, it also has some accomodation options we plan to try next time. During the demonstration we tasted amazing mozzarella and burrata, and later we also had other delicious items, including cured meats, wine and a dessert. The experience was pleasant, our 13 year old daughter loved to see the farm animals, which are kept in good welfare in health by people who really love what they do. Authentic, excellent experience, highly recommend Marco and the team.

    We had amazing time with Rafaela and Clelia. Learning how to make Focaccia and Orecchiette was so easy and flawless. They are super nice, communication was smooth, they paid attention to each of us guiding us how to get the best Orecchiette. And lunch was delicious. We had the best burrata even, made same day by local artisans. Got some insights on one to to in the city and left home with their ‘secret recipes’ so we can cook the best pastas at home as well. Trusted source :)! Tried alone at home the recipes and went perfectly fine! Will definitely try it again when will come back and share with our friends as well! Grazie!!

    Marco was able to book us on very short notice. We had a wonderful time learning about the ancient olive groves and olive oil making processes old and new. The tasting was also very educational and tasty! This was one of the highlights of our trip.

    Rosaria is an excellent and passionate guide! As owner, she feels and breaths the passion for perfect olive oil. She gave us extra time to answer our questions and even a small souvenir. I will recommend it 100%. Thanks, Rosaria!
