OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • 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!

    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.

    We went to Extravergine Savoia masseria and did an Olive Oil tour that was very nice. We saw the olive trees and picked some olives. We also saw the old masseria that was underground and then tasted different kinds of olive oils. Rosaria was an excellent host with so many information and such a lovely character. We definitely recommend going to the Savoia if you love olive oil! On another note, Marco was very helpful to find us the perfect olive oil tour in Puglia!

  • 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!

    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!

  • 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 made our own pasta with Gaetano, it was a great experience! Our children (5 & 6) loved him, the cooking and the result as well! It was great fun and very delicious... he prepared several courses with tasty ingredients from his own garden. We can highly recommend the pasta making class!

    My husband and I booked the "Private Cooking Class with Grandmother" on our honeymoon. The class was taught by three women, including the promosed grandmother and her daughter. Both only spoke Italian, so there was a third women to assist with translation. We created orecchiette, macaroni, and sagne from hand. Then we helped roll meatballs. Not only did they teach us how to make two pasta dishes by hand, but they shared ingredients and recipes and served us with our choice of the local Rosé. The food was delicious and we saw all three noodles on restaurant menus throughout the Puglia area. The property was also beautiful and a quiet, relaxing spot for lunch.
