The 70-hectare estate is among rolling fields, vineyards and olive groves. Green and gold colours extend out as far as the eye can see. Four star treatment and hospitality at Masseria (farm) Grande, an historic building that dates back to the 18th century, near Campobasso in Molise. The sea at Termoli is just fifteen kilometres away with port access to the Tremiti Islands. Peace and quiet is guaranteed in the spacious hotel, rooms have large living areas, fireplaces and private bars, plus a reading room as well. There are nine comfortable rooms total, 5 in the main building, surrounded by ovile (sheep herder structures) and two suites. Four other ones with balconies and small terraces are situated in the main house. In the restaurant, Angela and Giulia prepare typical dishes from the Molise area with the utmost care, using oil, wine, fruit and vegetables produced directly in the fields around the masseria. Meals are served al fresco on the sprawling threshing floor with garden, or in the dining room. It is difficult to pass up the sunny pool during the warm season.
