OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Pasta making and private home cooking chef geboekt bij terra che vive in ons vakantie huis in Puglia. Communicatie vooraf via mail ging zeer soepel en duidelijk. Tot in de puntjes besproken en uitgevoerd! Davide en Fransesco hebben ons de fijne kneepjes van het pasta maken geleerd en ons daarna een heerlijk diner voorgeschoteld. Alles schoon achtergelaten. Ontzettend goed geslaagde avond. Kan dit iedereen aanraden!

    It was so amazing, we had the best time with davide and francesco, who were both so patient with some of our not-so-talented chefs. The meal itself was delicious, we were with people from Venice and Milan, and they loved the meal so much. The sausage mushroom cherry tomato sauce was beyond my wildest dreams.

    Marcos tour was an absolute wonder filled with knowledge not only about the Burrata making process but historical about the region, The Masseria was beyond beautiful and even had a set of Truli's, the quality of the product we saw make and tasted was superb and as fresh as it can get. I would do it again just for the food tasting!

  • Davvero consigliato. Abbiamo portato degli amici stranieri sia al tour enologico che a quello oleario. Entrambi notevoli, calorosa accoglienza e degustazioni ottime

    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 truly enjoyed our two-hour olive oil tour and tasting in Puglia. After driving through the olive groves for three days, we arrived at the Masseria Savoia in search of answers. “Rosaria” patiently answered all of our questions about cultivating olives trees, managing olive groves, and making and refining extra virgin olive oil. It was a wonderful experience. We just received, at our home in Pennsylvania, the six bottles of extra virgin olive oil that we purchased! One day, we’d like to come back and see the new museum that Savoia is building. Such a rich history of olive oil dating back centuries. Our visit to the Masseria Savoia booked through Terra Che Vive was one of the highlights of our three week trip to Italy. Thank you. Hilary Doylestown, Pennsylvania USA
