Hi, I'm Oronzo, I live in a masseria which i a typical old farmhouse structure of south Italy. We do different activities like cultural exchange host various cultural events. There are musical groups that come to practice and host events, we have hosted yoga and meditation events and also have food tastings.
At the moment we have a resident yoga teacher who runs her courses here.
We have a large property with various fruit and nut trees, as well as a vegetable garden, a few dogs, chickens and ducks, which all live in peace.
We are in the quiet countryside, a few kilometrs out of the city of Lecce, famous for it's baroque architecture, as well as a few kilometers away from the beautiful coast of the Adriatic sea.

You can learn the culture of the countryside of a typical south italian farmhouse, including the language and you can learn to cook typical dishes like making pasta by hand, with the help of the great cook Oronzo! When there is the opportunity, we can show you around the beautiful places and antique villages of Salento. Mainly in the summer months there are endless opportunities to join in one of the many local and traditional festivals.

We have available an apartment with two seperate rooms, ideal for 4 people, without a kitchen, as the enormous farmhouse kitchen is a shared space. We decide together how to organise the meals. Everyone has their own space for free time or relaxing by yourself.
We are in a slightly remote place, but very easty to reach by bicycle from the coast, Torre Chianca it is only 4 km, or from the town Lecce, which is 8km away. We go into town frequently, so you can also arrange lifts with us.
We like to share our time with the visitors who come, but in general we have quite a lifestyle, especially at the moment.
