Twenty-five acres of monumental olive groves

Our mission is to preserve the unique Puglian landscape and heritage below Ostuni. To do this we have created an eco-tourism philosophy and carefully restored the estate's trullo and lamias. By staying with us you are helping to save the olive trees, increase biodiversity and restore the dry-stone walls.

Town and countryside, four minutes apart

Stay among the olive groves or in the centre of Ostuni. Every house is carefully furnished and curated with touches of Puglia, and all guests have access to parts of the estate, from picnics in the olive groves, to cycling on country lanes to the sea.

On the estate

Villas, lamias and trulli among monumental olive trees, some of them two thousand years old, with country lanes lined by dry-stone walls running down through the groves toward the sea.

Nineteenth-century town houses on quiet streets behind the main square. Casa Chiara and Casa Palmira have rooftop terraces looking out over the old town to the Adriatic.

Tourism in the service of the landscape

Puglia House Farm Collection exists to keep this landscape and its heritage intact. Your stay helps us achieve this.

Grafting an olive tree from a ladder
  • Organic farming

    Olives above all, alongside almonds and figs. The olive oil we press is an exceptional extra virgin, cold-pressed from an early harvest of Ogliarola and Leccino olives.

  • Saving the monumental trees

    The greatest threat is Xylella fastidiosa. We work at the forefront of preventive grafting and post-graft care, and will be planting resistant varieties alongside the old trees.

  • Increasing biodiversity

    New woodland of local oak and pine, indigenous carob and ground crops to regenerate the soil, following new carbon-avoidance protocols.

  • Working with A.M.O Puglia

    The estate lies in the association's hundred-acre conservation zone. We work alongside its team, the agricultural cooperative, our press partners and the farmers around us. We bottle our oil under the A.M.O Puglia brand and make a donation to the association for every bottle sold.

We plan your days, on the farm and beyond

We can arrange days out, book restaurants and stock the house before you travel. Depending on the season, we may also be able to offer tastings, meals and walks on the farm; just ask when you book.

  • Bespoke itineraries

    Our co-host Mila (@studiomilaitaly) offers a bespoke planning service, charged separately from your stay: trips to the historic towns and masserie, tables at the local restaurants we recommend, beach days, experiences, transfers, and walking and bicycle tours.

  • A house already stocked

    Order organic fruit and vegetables from the farm, local mozzarella and ricotta, wine, limoncello and A.M.O Puglia oil before you travel, and find them waiting when you arrive.

  • Food and wine on the farm

    Farm-to-table lunches and dinners, olive oil and wine tastings, pizza evenings, pasta classes and summer sunset aperitivo. Casa Rocco can also be booked for private lunches and dinners.

  • The olive harvest

    If you stay in the autumn, join in the harvest: help pick the olives or simply watch, visit the oil press, and take home your own bottle of the new oil.

Stay involved

Two ways to keep a connection with the farm once the holiday is over.

Adopt a tree

Adopt a registered, numbered monumental olive tree on the estate and receive oil from its harvest each year. It is the simplest way to stay part of the farm.

Become an ambassador

Gather orders for A.M.O Puglia oil among friends, a club or a workplace, and host a tasting of the new oil after the November harvest. We ship a single case to keep the carbon cost down, with a complimentary litre for you.
