Farm-house Gargaleo

Description Gargaleo

Masseria Gargaleo is a farm of about 80 hectares, grown organically since 1994. In 2012 has been awarded the premio de@Terra, which the Italian Ministry of agriculture gives each year to 5 farmers women who have distinguished themselves in their business. The main building dates back to the 17th century with a furnace for the production of bricks, active until 1950. A true country house into a real organic farm a few miles from the Ionian Sea and with a wonderful view over the sea and the Badlands. A warm welcome to discover a part of Basilicata unknown to most people, but of great charm and history. The ideal place to enjoy the relaxation, but also to discover places and unique flavours. Two apartments are available to our guests, who have the name of our ancient trees: the Lentisco and Carrubo. They have the style of true country houses, with antique furniture and collectables, as you can capture their unique atmosphere. They are equipped with ample outdoor spaces fitted with tables and chairs, picnic point with a barbecue, a wood-burning oven and parking.
