People and Stories behind the place!

Hi! We are Francesco and Sabrina 🙂

We’re a young international couple who share a passion for good food and slow travel.

We’re working to build a community around a place that feels like home to us, and we hope it will become a home for other travellers who share similar passions and interests!

Francesco

CPO (Chief Pizza&Pasta Officer)

Ciao! I am Francesco and I was born and raised in Putignano, Puglia. I left my hometown in 2017 to study in Milan and, after some work experience in the innovation sector, I have decided to come back and start this new exciting project in the old Masseria of my family. I am Italian and of course I can cook Pizza and Pasta 🍝

Sabrina

CMO (Chief Mate Officer)

Hola! My name is Sabrina and I am from San Juan, Argentina. I moved to Milan for the university and, after finishing, I started working in a consultancy company. This gives me the flexibility to work remotely, so I decided to become a part-time nomad myself. The first question I will ask you will be: have you ever tried mate? 🧉

Olga, a woman before a Masseria

Nonna Olga is Francesco’s grandmother. She can often be found tending to her plants and flowers and she is always excited to join the community and teach her secret recipes!

She was raised in this farm by her father, Luigi, who built the Masseria in 1917. She embodies the identity of this place: a familiar environment where everyone can feel at home, as it would be in the house of an Italian “nonna”!
