Bed And Breakfast Casale Rocca Fiorita

Description Casale Rocca Fiorita

Centenary cypress trees mark the way to the main entrance of the farmhouse where there is an outdoor courtyard and a large car park. The majestic entrance hall (150 square metres) still retains pieces of rare workmanship that have been skilfully preserved and restored by the current owners: an ancient "mola" (millstone) for crushing olives, a completely renovated moat for decanting olives, an ancient "bilico" (counterweighted scales), rare Persian carpets, a precious collection of ploughs, decorated cowbells that were used for animal shows at fairs, a magnificent library of ancient and not-so-ancient texts for the use of guests, a relaxation area with a fireplace and a large 20th-century table where breakfast is served with typical and absolutely organic products. The orange, lemon and mandarin marmalades are produced in the estate's citrus grove. Also from the main entrance, you can access another large room: the Palmento. Here, too, the history of the farmhouse can be seen: a large press from the early 1900s where the marc was pressed, a palmento for crushing grapes that flowed into 4 vats of equal size capable of holding 40 'loads' (unit of measurement of the period). Four different types of must flowed into the vats, which were then divided between the 'sharecropper' and the 'master'. These ditches currently house antique household and work objects, as well as a wine cellar with dated wines; a collection of keys made of wrought iron is also of considerable charm.
