The name of the farm recalls the ancient pergola that shades the front of the old farmhouse and makes it a perfect place for fresh relax during summertime.
The 14th century farmhouse and its barn which have been restored with respect for the old structure, are surrounded by meadows, olive trees and fruit trees. Close by, there is a swimming pool enclosed by secular olive trees.
The original rustic character has been maintained throughout the restructuring process with a special attention to details: some stone walls have been kept along with the chestnut beams and the old tiles.
The ancient terracotta flooring has been recovered to tile most of the building.
The outside areas have been paved with local stones in order to preserve the authentic environment of the country farmyard.
The beautiful pool surrounded by centuries-old olive trees has been realized in respect of the environment.
