The only sounds that reach your ears are those of nature: the chirping of crickets, the verse of some bird of prey that lives in the woods, the wind that moves the leaves of the trees and that laps the stalks of the wheat. The smells, well those we can not describe them, as well as the emotions transmitted by a living place like Masseria Croce Piccola. For this we suggest you come and discover it!<\/h2>\n<p>The structure is located on the border with the <a href=\"http:\/\/riservaboscopianelle.it\/wp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Bosco delle Pianelle Nature Reserve<\/a>, one of the most important of Puglia for extension and for fauna and flora. We are in the countryside of <strong>Martina Franca<\/strong>, a town located in the center of the famous <strong>Valle D&#8217;Itria<\/strong>, characteristic for its historic center and the baroque style of its architecture.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrachevive.com\/en\/blog\/trip-ideas\/most-beatiful-masserie-in-the-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">place surrounded by nature<\/a>, Masseria Croce Piccola offers many possibilities to those who choose it as a place to stay .

Here everything produced by the mother earth is grown with <strong>organic methods<\/strong>: whole wheat flour, legumes like beans, vegetables and, tip production, wine.<br \/>\nYou will discover the taste of the farm products during your stay, comfortably seated in the <strong>room used for tasting<\/strong>; or on one of the large wooden tables outside, in the shadow of majestic oaks. Taste Puglia with a breakfast prepared with the <strong>organic garden products<\/strong>; or eating a typical dish of orecchiette pasta made with wheat flour grown in the farm.<br \/>\nBut in an authentic stay in the land of Puglia could an important element like wine be missing?<br \/>\nMasseria Croce Piccola boasts <strong>three wines of organic production<\/strong>: red, white and ros\u00e9.
