Hi, If your looking for a peaceful, easy, relaxing holiday this is surely the place; this is real Italy, very rural, no pushy sell to tourist stuff; just very friendly people not just at Marina's place but the local town 'Noci' too,
Marina's father and mother are amazing they invited us to a family gathering, we sat a their table with probably 30 others relatives, eating freshly baked pizza's (by Marina's father), with lots of banter and talking, just like we all imagine the family meals to be in Italy; loved it and miss it.
Walking through the fields of Olive trees (1500 of them), watching on a Saturday morning the locals bring their wheat grain to be milled into their own flour by Marina's father, its amazing to watch, we even had a go at making our own pasta, (wouldn't eat it) theirs is a lot better.
But the best part of our holiday was the pool, the quietness, the Italian ambience, came back totally relaxed.
The local town is 2 mins drive away, everything there you need, super food in many restaurants, be prepared to eat loads, ice cream is the best.
My wife and I both fell in love with 'Masseria Tinelli' and the whole Tinelli family.
Thank you Marina,
