Posta Santa Croce

Our Italian trip included visits to Naples and Sorrento and ending at Posta Santa Croce. This was the highlight of our journey. Pietro and family are really quite exceptional and made sure we were comfortable. The work to restore this building was done with impeccable care by skilled skilled craftsman from France. This was a labor of love and only certain types of caring people in this world would have the depth to bring this back to life. This is located in the middle of an olive grove. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Just an extraordinary place. We were privileged to stay here and will return!

Wouldn't change a thing

Ancien relais du 17eme siècle, familial, rénové avec goût et savoir historique. Un des 4 lieux historiques de séjour les plus extraordinaires dans lequel nous ayons séjourné durant 40ans de voyage dans le monde. Des espaces gigantesques, des voûtes fantaisistes, des dalles d’époque. La gentillesse et la disponibilité de Pietro, l’accueil avec dans chaque appartement, bouteille de vin, lait, eau, yogourt, pain, pâtes et sauce, etc..,de quoi faire un bon repas et tout ça à disposition, exceptionnel! Dans les oliviers et les murs de pierre sèches, entouré de pergola ou s’accroche des vignes. Un immense cuisine commune conviviale pour les grandes familles qui louent plusieurs appartements. Bref un incontournable des Agriturismo des Pouilles. N’oubliez pas les boîtes de thon pour pour les chats vagabonds qui ne manqueront pas de venir réclamer leur part. Merci Pietro pour tout.

Tout! Le site est exceptionnel, Pietro le propriétaire est adorable et en plus il parle anglais !!! La rénovation de cette masseria est faite avec beaucoup de goût, notre appartement etait magnifique. La situation est centrale par rapport à tout ce qu’il y a à voir dans ce coin des Pouilles. La ferme produit sa propre huile d’olive, on en a acheté 18 litres à Pietro, à 10€ le litre ça vaut vraiment le coup.

Rien

Talvolta si vive chiara la sensazione di stare in un luogo di autentica bellezza e questa sensazione è quella provata nella nostra permanenza in masseria. Una bellezza non solo del luogo e dell'ambiente circostante ma anche per la cura con cui l'antica struttura è stata riportata a vita. Tutto questo procura un senso di riposo e conforto, che è quello di cui abbiamo goduto in una calda settimana di inizio agosto. Nel terreno di proprietà, immerse negli ulivi, sono state scolpite nel vecchio legno bruciato nell'incendio del 2017, statue richiamanti i miti greci... è il parco delle metamorfosi, un'altra meraviglia di cui si può godere stando alla masseria

Posto tranquillo, struttura elegante con un pizzico di storicità

Quel plaisir de le prendre au son des cigales . Pietro est un hôte très sympathique qui vous répond quand on cherche à comprendre la région et la culture de l'olivier. La chambre est immense et on y dort très bien sans besoin de climatisation.

Un peur d'ombre sur le parking???

OH MY! this place is a gem! built in the 17th century by his great Grandfather, Pietro Consiglio is still living on site and available at any time. Ask him to play the piano in the common area, or discuss the many books he has lying around the home. Visit the small chapel built by his Great Uncle the Archbishop of Brindisi, Puglia. There is so much to see at this lovely Tenuta that was originally a mill and olive farm. Our room was actually the original chapel of the mill. We could play half-court basketball in our main bedroom. The bathroom was also very large for an Italian apartment. We had a small kitchen which again was great for preparing our meals. A private patio was available to us as with all of the rooms. While we could have stayed around the apartment the three days, we stayed here we drove to Matera (about an hour} the third oldest inhabited city in the world over 10,000 years old. On another day we went to Trani (15-minute drive) a coastal town with which also has a historical significance, beautiful garden right on the water next to its fortress and many wonderful churches. The Knights of Templar hostel for pilgrims to gather before leaving by water for the holy land. All of this and a fantastic apartment on top! We even were able to buy some of Pietro's olive oil grown and processed on site!

There really wasn't anything negative, we loved this place and will return.

It’s a very peaceful place where you can feel history. It’s renovated with care. The hospitality standard of the host is very high. We felt very welcome.
