  • Beautiful cooking experience. We were warmly received by the hosts in a beautiful masseria. We cooked under the guidance of the mother and grandmother of the house and prepared different kinds of pasta. They were extremely kind and patient. We enjoyed our meals on a beautiful terrace with some lovely wine. Would strongly recommend the experience!

    We had a fantastic time learning to make orecchiette. Gaetano was also a brilliant host and shared his love of food and wine with us. And his olive oil was amazing too. Highly recommend this experience.

    we had an amazing experience in our tour with Marco! He is very knowledgeable and we spend the morning seeing how to make cheese, pasta making class and visiting the farm - plus some delicious italian delicacies at the end! Marco was really patient and flexible and our two year old twins loved it as well. Furthermore, the staff at masseria dell'arco were also great. Would certainly recommend, and a very good price for value.

  • We hosted three different private chefs at our villa during our Puglia stay and Terra Che Vive (represented by Chef Mattia) was absolutely the best. We particularly loved his focaccia, layered mushroom lasagna with stracciatella and apulian cheesecake. Mattia was also incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring we had the right wines and our glasses were full. Highly recommend!

    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!!
