OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • עשינו סיור בחווה. הסבר על ההיסטוריה ועל חיי החווה היום ובעבר. המקום יפה ומקסים מסביב. המדריך מסביר בבהירות, ועונה על השאלות. כמו כן ראינו איך מכינים את סוגי המוצרלה והגבינות הקשורות ואז טעמנו (מוצרלה קשורה , כדורי מוצרלה, בוראטה, ספצליאטה). בקיצור מומלץ בחום.

    Used Terra Che Vive for a second time, just a good as the first. The pasta making class with Gaetano was brilliant, very authentic and a huge lunch at the end of the class which was amazing. Thank you for welcoming us into your home and teaching us the art of Orecchiette! Would recommend to many!

  • 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

    Rosaria is an excellent and passionate guide! As owner, she feels and breaths the passion for perfect olive oil. She gave us extra time to answer our questions and even a small souvenir. I will recommend it 100%. Thanks, Rosaria!

  • This is an amazing experience if you’re keen to learn about olive oil. Incredibly interesting to see how it was made historically and currently in the modern day, tasting different oils is also really interesting, and there is so much more to it than you would think. Rosaria is a fabulous host, and there is nothing that she does not know about Olive oil! A lovely little goodie bag send you on your way, and no pressure too but anything else, but loads to choose from is you want to. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough!

    Esperienza meravigliosa all'interno di una Masseria zona Martina Franca. Ho richiesto disponibilità per fare un corso di pasta fresca e Marco ci ha trovato la soluzione perfetta! Con poco preavviso ha organizzato il corso e la visita guidata organizzata esclusivamente per me e mio marito con pranzo finale. Abbiamo scoperto tante cose interessanti e trascorso due ore davvero piacevoli. Super consigliato, il prezzo è più che corretto per l'esperienza fatta. Grazie mille ancora

    This was a delightful private wine tasting experience for my wife and I. Marco has a great set up going to produce his organic wine and we enjoyed learning how it was all made. The tasting was delicious and we were given plenty of time to relax and enjoy the options with some good nibbles to accompany. We were staying in Ostuni. Round trip taxi set us back 70 euros, which was worth it so we could both indulge appropriately.
