We stayed for two nights with Sebastiano and it was too short... His welcoming was wonderful, full of interest, warm...and he provided a nice cool beer for us! From the first moment we were charmed by his beautiful organic farm; the trullis hidden in the middle of almond trees, oaks, olive trees, herbs and flowers. Very authentic, exactly how Sebastiano lives his life... He owns a lot of chicken and sells their eggs for a living. It was amazing to see with how much love and devotion he washes the eggs and prepares them for transportation...but ofcourse we got to taste them too!! Sebastiano provides a delicious breakfast in the morning; jam and bread and cooked fresh eggs, foccacia, and a tasteful omelet made with handpicked ingrediënts! Sebastiano loves to make a conversation and is an easy going and interesting host with wonderful stories. So knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna and has a good sense of humor. Our daughters were shy but he’s good in breaking the ice in a funny and friendly way. He’s always around for any questions, busy on his farm but certainly not intrusive. We enjoyed his company a lot. There is a bunch of animals to enjoy too; dogs, cats (kittens) a horse, chicken, sheep...(and so so much beautiful butterflies) and Sebastiano takes care of them all with so much love in abundance!
The accomodation provides what you need. It’s very basic, we didn’t expect it to be fancy. The beds are ok. The sheets and towels are clean. It’s romantic and authentic and please ask for the stories about and around the trullis. You’ll love to hear them. Thank you Sebastiano, for your hospitality and kindness. Although it was a short stay, I’ll never forget. You are a fantastic hard working man, who understands what life is really about...
