It is a massive estate with a grand old house, exquisite gardens, extensive organic farmland and ancient olive groves (the owner insists that some trees are up to 1,500 years old).
It is owned and managed by an eccentric ex businessman, Armando, and his wife, Rosalba. The staff are friendly, helpful and intelligent
(as well as extremely tolerant of our pair of terrible toddlers!)
The main business of the operation is clearly the restaurant which for a hefty 57 euros a head, offers the very best of home-grown modern Puglian cuisine. Fantastic stuff, actually pretty good value considering both the quantity and quality, just a little too much for me (and I have always considered myself having a large appetite!)
I couldn't recommend it enough and look forward to our next visit.
