OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Excellent! We had a wonderful extra virgin olive oil tasting at Savoia - it was a special treat to taste olive oil from the ancient and majestic 800 year old trees we learned so much and the owners Giorgio and Rosaria are special people, keeping this incredible tradition alive so we can all enjoy such an extraordinary product

    Marco organised two experiences for us while in Puglia - both were amazing! First we took a boat tour in Polignano al Mare, which was relaxing and beautiful. Second we did a pasta making class with lunch in a trulli near Martina Franca - which was great fun and very personal. Marco was very easy to communicate with from start to finish and has such wonderful experiences on offer. He is definitely a true professional and is passionate about providing authentic, local experiences. We highly recommend Marco and his company, Terra Che Vive!

    We had an amazing experience during our olive oil tasting and tour of Savoia! The owner provided us with meaningful historical information about the property, the centuries old cave where olive oil was produced in the past, and showed us a 900 year old olive tree. It was very clear the love this family has for their craft. The oil itself was remarkable and we really enjoyed tasting the different types they produce. Would absolutely recommend!

    Wir haben den Mozzarella/Burrata Workshop auf einem Bauernhof nahe MartinaFranca gebucht. Organisation top! Hat alles super funktioniert unser Guide Marco war spitze. Kurze Führung am Bauernhof, danach zum Workshop. War wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis zu sehen wie Mozzarella hergestellt wird und wir durften auch kräftig mitarbeiten und selbst Hand anlegen😉 Danach gab's eine fantastische Jause mit unserem selbstgefertigtem Mozzarella/Burrata, leckerem Brot, Salami, Rotwein....einfach ein Traum und ein fantastisches Geschmackserlebnis. Kann ich zu 100% weiterempfehlen, Preis/Leistung absolut gerechtfertigt. Danke Marco für dieses Erlebnis!👍👍👍

  • 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 a great time with Marco at Masseria Le Pianelle during our “dairyman for a day” cheese making experience. the farm is in a stunning area and we loved our tour of the farm and learning about its operation. but the best part was learning how to make mozzarella with the charming, kind, generous and funny young cheese,asker, Umberto. he was patient with our clumsy attempts, and the finished products: fior di latte, nodini, stracciatella, and burrata were delicious. this was followed by tasting of other local products, all produced at the farm, which made a lovely lunch (plus we took the leftovers of our very generous spread to enjoy in later meals at our lodgings). Marco is knowledgeable, professional and personable —we highly recommend booking one of the experiences that he offers!
