OUR GUESTS’ WORDS


  • Passeggiata di due ore su cavallo. A partire dalla prenotazione fino alla fine dell'esperienza abbiamo ricevuto un servizio eccellente, comunicazione ed elasticità nel fornire l'esperienza di livello altissimo. La professionalità, la velocità e la gentilezza di Marco hanno reso l'organizzazione dell'esperienza assolutamente immediata. Arrivati al maneggio il titolare ci ha spiegato perfettamente cosa avremmo fatto. Segue una passeggiata bellissima in uliveti, campagna e in riva al mare. Ti insegnano le basi per portare il cavallo e fare in modo che tu ti senta in sintonia con lui. I cavalli sono dolcissimi, super puliti e regalano un'esperienza assolutamente piacevole. Lo consiglio a tutti e consiglio anche di affidarsi totalmente a "Terra Che Vive" per avere un servizio impeccabile.

    We had such an amazing experience with Terra Che Vive. Their team set up our Airbnb beautifully to make 3 different types of pastas and to eat one of the most amazing meals we had on our entire stay in Italy. I'm so happy we found them, and would recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to do a high-quality cooking class and eating experience in Puglia. It was an unforgettable experience!

  • This was an excellent experience! We toured the farm first, met the cheese maker, and then made the cheese! Cheese making is an art and quite the process! We later lunched on the cheese we made , accompanied by wine and locally made deli meats. A fine experience and worth doing. We would do it again!

    Fantastic tour for both grown-ups and small ones! Our guide Marco is super welcoming and knowledgeable. The farm products are the best we've tasted during our 10 day tour in Italy! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Puglia!!!

    This Focaccia making experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Marco and the others made us feel like part of the family! Sitting on the patio within the beautiful setting of the Puglia countryside was dreamlike. The Focaccia was perfect- tasted just like my Nona from Bari made every Sunday! Marco was an amazing host— we highly recommend!

    Visita guidata (da Marco) presso Masseria Madonna dell Arco, che ci ha trasmesso informazione di questa masseria, particolarmente sul processo produttivo del caseificio, con degustazione di formaggi. Alla fine abbiamo anche assaggiato l’antipasto con i prodotti della masseria. Consigliato!
