OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • We had an amazing time at the pasta making and tasting session. We brought our 3 children (ages 2, 4, and 7) and everyone was so welcoming. Marco was kind and knowledgeable! All of us enjoyed seeing the farm animals, making various types of pasta, and watching fresh cheese made. The tasting menu was one of the best meals we had during our time in Italy. The entire experience was a highlight of our time in Puglia, and we would highly recommend it (and hope to do it again)!

    Amazing pasta making course from an Italian grandmother. Marco was really responsive and provided clear information and background information. The experience was small scale and authentic. Definitely recommend.

  • We visited a cheese farm producing mozzarella and buratta, but also many other types of cheese. We were able to see the cows, the milking process, the making of mozzarella and buratta and taste local cheeses and ham at the end of the visit. Giuseppe, the owner of the farm and the tour guide was very friendly and passionate about his work. An amazing experience, we highly recommend!

    Marco and chef Davide gave a very warm welcome at Davide’s family trullo. Lots of interesting history. We learned about making bread, pasta in various traditional shapes and a simple but delicious sauce. Dinner was served using what we made with some additional traditional dishes from Davide’s kitchen. Washed down with delicious wines. Adults and kids all enjoyed the experience and eating our wonderful dinner.

    Io e la mia compagna abbiamo deciso di trascorrere una mattina in masseria, provando l’esperienza da casaro presso una masseria a Martina Franca.

    L’esperienza è stata meravigliosa, sia il casaro che il referente di Terra Che Vive ci hanno accompagnato col sorriso in ogni momento, dalla visita della masseria alla lavorazione delle mozzarelle.

    Complimenti davvero, consigliatissimo!

    Marco and his team provided an invaluable service that left a lasting impression on our family, friends, and children. No detail was overlooked, from the initial booking request, to the moment when the last piece of food was polished off of our plates. Chef Davide, Francesco, Attilio, and Francesca joined our party of 16 for 3 nights, and created some incredible meals that surpassed all of our expectations. Our gathering at the villa in Puglia was a very special one for my husband’s 50th Birthday. We had guests who flew in from all over the world to come celebrate with us, and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Terra che Vive to help us plan this special occasion. The food was not only delicious, but executed perfectly. The staff was simply lovely. Everyone was so friendly and did everything they could to let us have a few stress free fun evenings enjoying each others company. I can’t recommend this service enough.

    Pranzo in vigna: meraviglioso! Da rifare e consigliare senza ombra di dubbio. Vini e prodotti buonissimi, personale super cortese e gentile dalla prenotazione sino alla realizzazione dell'esperienza, ore di relax nella natura. Ho avuto la possibilità di godermi a pieno questa giornata in compagnia delle mie amiche. Grazie davvero di tutto.
