OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • ביקרנו בהדרכתו של מרקו בחווה לא רחוק ממרטינה פרנקה. הוא נתן לנו סקירה על האזור ועל ההיסטוריה של המקום. ראינו איך מכינים מוצרלה ובוראטה. למדנו איך מכינים פסטה מקומית. לבסוף קיבלנו ארוחת טעימות של גבינות, נקניקים ויין. מרקו נחמד ואדיב. נהננו מאוד ואנחנו ממליצים בחום.

    The farm and animals were beautiful, the freedom to hang out with the animals was awesome, the tour was the perfect length (especially with kids in tow!), and the lunch was incredible. Definitely a memorable day for our whole family!

    We had an amazing time. A great opportunity to have an authentic experience and meet some wonderful people. Marco was so kind and made such an effort to ensure we had fun and learned all about the ingredients we used and the process of making pasta. This was something I’ll remember forever! Highly recommend.

  • Highly recommended to visit the mozzarella farm. Marco is a super nice guide and he shows you exactly how the cheeses are made. We also got a nice tour of the farm and finally we had a delicious lunch. It's definitely worth the money.

    My husband and I really enjoyed the 90 minute olive oil tasting! Our guide was very passionate and provided a lot of information. She also spoke English to accommodate us. The owners were so hospitable and friendly also. Their olive oil is delicious and organic. We bought three bottles!

    Our family of six enjoyed the Farm house tour tremendously. Our kids range from ages 9-16 and they all enjoyed watching the cheese being made and seeing all the farm animals. The lunch afterward was delicious and there was so much food! We enjoyed learning about how the masseria worked from so long ago. Marco was very responsive and did a great job. Thank you Terra Che Vive!

  • Trough Terra Che Vive we booked the ''Dairyman for a day: mozzarella and burrata making class''

    It was a great experience and well guided by Marco. All steps within the process are shown whereafter you can try it yourself. The tasting afterwards is good and abundant.

    What an amazing experience. Marco provides an amazing experience from breaking down the history of the farm, to interacting with the cheese maker and having the freshest burrata ever and helping you out when you struggle to make orecchiette. 100% would recommend this experience.
