OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Very nice tour about the history of olive oil. Our guide was enthousiastic and kind and answered all (many!) of our questions. The tasting was good and we even got a small gift after!

    J'ai eu l'occasion de faire deux expériences: après avoir adoré le cours de pâtes dans un trullo, j'ai réservé la visite d'un producteur d'huile d'olive. Dans les deux expériences, les hôtes étaient extrêmement chaleureux et généreux. Marco est très disponible et à l'écoute. Expériences incroyables!

    We had a wonderful pizza making experience here in Locorotondo. The hosts of the farmhouse Francesca and Ana made us feel really welcome and were very patient and helpful when showing us how to make the dough and then rolling it out ready for the toppings. There was a great selection of toppings and it was great to see the oven lit with just olive twigs and branches collected from the farm. We had so much to eat and the homemade almond biscuits, and coffee and orange liqueurs were amazing. Thank you so much to Marco for helping us with the translating too. Highly recommended!

  • This was an extremely enjoyable tour full of very interesting information given my Marco. The cheese was absolutely delicious and could not have been fresher! The area is beautiful and accommodation at the Masseria is also offered staying in the Trulli. They looked like a lovely place to stay. We opted for the tour followed by appetisers.....warning! This is like a FULL meal. There was so much food that we were unable to finish it. Everything was tasty! I would highly recommend to anyone considering taking this tour.

    Marco selected three excursions for our family and all three were excellent. Marco quickly responded to all our emails and sent reminders several days before each excursion. Highly recommend his services.

    Truly lovely, highly recommend. We visited with our two children and had an amazing time. Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and super friendly guide. You will meet ancient trees, the sweetest puppies (ok, they are very old and gentle but so cute), visit an ancient cave for olive oil transformation as well as have a delightful tasting with the owner who was truly a gem. N.B. The tour is booked with an agency and not directly through the people on site.

  • We booked the Mozzarella tasting tour, and it exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Marco until the very end of our experience, we felt we were in the hands of real professionals. Marco met us at the farm on time. We had some problems with luggage storate and Marco made sure they were handled before our tour started. He took us to different points of interest, including a demonstration of the making of various cheeses, stories about the farm history and more. The place itself is pleasant and relaxing, it also has some accomodation options we plan to try next time. During the demonstration we tasted amazing mozzarella and burrata, and later we also had other delicious items, including cured meats, wine and a dessert. The experience was pleasant, our 13 year old daughter loved to see the farm animals, which are kept in good welfare in health by people who really love what they do. Authentic, excellent experience, highly recommend Marco and the team.

    Clelia & Raffaella were wonderful! We went into Clelia’s home and learned all about simple but beautiful Puglian food, as well as two wonderful Puglian women and their amazing dog, Jame. We can’t wait to cook the food at home in England, and we cannot thank them enough for their kindness and this memorable experience.

    Marco and Umberto were incredible hosts. From start to finish they made us feel welcome. We toured the farm, Marco shared the rich history of the farm and the land surrounding, Umberto walked us through the entire process of mozzarella and burrata cheese making, and we finished off the day with a delightful spread of meats, cheeses, and wines. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the experience to anyone.
