Cefalicchio Country House

This charming estate is nestled among biodynamic vineyards and olive groves, in the unexplored interior of southern Italy. It offers authentic rustic style combined with modern comforts. The restaurant has imaginative cuisine created from organic, local produce as well wine and olive oil from the estate. In Roman times, the area of Cefalicchio was an important passageway through the rich countryside of Canosa by way of via Traiana. The Masseria of Cefalicchio was constructed in 1700. The Rossi family, who are the current owners, transformed the estate into their private residence in 1900. Currently, hilly vistas encompass approximately 110 hectares of olive trees and grape vines that create a typically Mediterranean feel. Like the restaurant and the cellar, the villa enjoys electricity provided by solar panels everyday of the year. Limestone walls, pines, cypress and aromatic plants surround the swimming pool. The terraces with views of Murgia and the Gargano and the antique sitting rooms are at your disposal for afternoon drinks and evenings of music and conversation. The sensation you are at a proper country house is prevalent from every angle. The shadows of the garden make a natural entrance for the intimate and exclusive spa that offers massage, wine- therapy treatments, and yoga lessons. The hotel has received a four star award for its hospitality. Those that share our passion in food and wine tourism will discover an unknown Apulia here.
