Amazing traditional business with heart ❤️ - My boyfriend and I were the only people on the olive tour. Noemi was our guide and she explained everything in detailled and she answered all our questions with knowledge, charme and patience as we had plenty 😉 you can really tell that it's a family runned business as the owner has put a lot of effort and charme into it, to make this place a Bio and environmental friendly olive and lemon farm. We enjoyed the tour and in the end we tasted 4 different kinds of olive oil which also came with some olives, bread and cheese. It was really worth it, we would highly recommend!

A must-do for food loving travelers! - What a unique experience for food lovers! It has really opened our eyes to the world of olive oils and made us appreciate the efforts put into producing them. We enjoyed the tasting of four different oils and learning how each can be used in food preparation.

Very tasty oils - Very lovely tour and tasting. The guide is very friendly and tells you everything about the production process. Unfortunately we didn’t visit the plantation itself and the actual production process doesn’t start until next week, so we couldn’t see it. The oil tasting is very nice; all the oils you are going to taste are great. After all: a great experience!

Visiting mill and tasting - Short term booking was with no problem and the day after our request for an English tour we visited the mill. Just the two of us, we were warmly welcomed and got a lot of interesting information about extra vergine olive oil and the process of manufacturing. We also booked the visit of the lemon trees which we did not regret. We could ask all our questions and never had the feeling that we run out of time. At the end we had a delicious tasting of their different extra vergine oils with homemade traditional bread, olives, cheese, jam, …. We appreciated the opportunity to look behind the curtain of manufacturing extra vergine olive oil and get all the information absolut its varieties! Recommendable for every consumer of olive oil! The team of the farm has arranged us a wonderful time to remember! We were well taken care of!!

Great experience - Great experience learning about olive oil production and tasting olive oils. We really enjoyed the private tour and the chance to ask questions and learn about what they do. They went above and beyond what was expected and even got in a car to come find us when we took a wrong turn on the way there!

Great Guide & Tour - We really enjoyed our tour and learned a lot. Corrado was an amazing guide & it was really great to try the several varieties of olive oil at the end. We had a hard time deciding which oil to bring home. I’d recommend this tour!
