OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Perfect to plan a guided tour of Puglia. Signing up for one or more ‘tours’ is very easy to do. The administrator, Marco, a local, is very active and sends you all the information you need. We tried out the Bike Olive Oil Tour. A unique experience! We had Anna as our guide. She's incredible, passionate and bubbly! It's a really great bike tour with a small group! However, don't forget to take closed shoes, and make sure they're in the car!!!!! Reiti & Hiro

    We had a wonderful pizza making experience here in Locorotondo. The hosts of the farmhouse Francesca and Ana made us feel really welcome and were very patient and helpful when showing us how to make the dough and then rolling it out ready for the toppings. There was a great selection of toppings and it was great to see the oven lit with just olive twigs and branches collected from the farm. We had so much to eat and the homemade almond biscuits, and coffee and orange liqueurs were amazing. Thank you so much to Marco for helping us with the translating too. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I had such an enjoyable experience on this tour. We went to a local dairy farm and learned how Mozzarella was made. After, we had lunch at the Masseria. Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, and spoke very clear English. The tour was unique and felt very authentic. Of course the Mozzarella we tried was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend using Terra Che Vive as a means to get to know the Puglia region!

  • We have an amazing time on our tasting at Terra Che Vive. Marco, the vineyard owner, gave us a great tour of his vineyards and facility as well as a wine tasting with a mix of amazing appetizers. He is a fifth generation winemaker with a wealth of knowledge on winemaking and the puglia region, and a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend visiting the vineyard when staying in the Ostuni area. Grazie mille Marco!

    Esperienza unica! Abbiamo fatto il tour caseario presso l'antica masseria Madonna dell'Arco. Marco è stato un'ottima guida, cortese e preparato, qualità rare ai giorni nostri. Eccellente anche la degustazione dei prodotti tipici sui quali ovviamente non avevo dubbi. Sicuramente mi rivolgerò a loro per altri tour Esperienza che vivamente consiglio di fare.

  • Cheese your and tasting put a nice finishing touch to our visit to Apulia. Very informational, to die for fresh mozzarella and burrata, lovely masseria. The light cheese and meats were obviously exceptional. Wished it was a smaller crowd but still very enjoyable. DO NOT LEAVE WOTHOUT TRYING THE VANILLA ICE CREAM.

    We truly enjoyed our two-hour olive oil tour and tasting in Puglia. After driving through the olive groves for three days, we arrived at the Masseria Savoia in search of answers. “Rosaria” patiently answered all of our questions about cultivating olives trees, managing olive groves, and making and refining extra virgin olive oil. It was a wonderful experience. We just received, at our home in Pennsylvania, the six bottles of extra virgin olive oil that we purchased! One day, we’d like to come back and see the new museum that Savoia is building. Such a rich history of olive oil dating back centuries. Our visit to the Masseria Savoia booked through Terra Che Vive was one of the highlights of our three week trip to Italy. Thank you. Hilary Doylestown, Pennsylvania USA

    Un addio al nubilato da ricordare con gli aneddoti di Nonna Checchina.
    Ambiente accogliente, immerso nella natura e nei trulli.
