Casone Holiday Farmhouse wants to represent and make possible living today rustic civilization ancient traditions.
Often, holiday farmhouse are a form of big agricultural business. Casone Holiday Farmhouse was born as a small rustic property, where the farmer survives thanks to few animals, the rearing of vines, olives, fruit trees, vegetables and cereals that are absolutely necessary to the family.

History
The holiday farmhouse, built in 1600, was given to the religious association of Maria Santissima del Rosario on the 27 th of May 1707, held by don Vincenzo Piccoli. After 1870, the property of the Church shifted to the State and was made on sale. They became property of the family between 1875 and 1883 and they are the same nowadays. In the year 2003 the restoration of the building has began and it has finished in 2005.

The restoration has been made by paying attention to the original shape and by caring of the materials: chestnut-wood attics and a roof made of original earthenware tiles.

Since several centuries we use to practice this original and primitive technique of agriculture, in an unspoilt environment full of colours, perfumes and wild animals like foxes, porcupines, turtles and hedgehogs. Here you can find beans, chick-peas, tomatoes, potatoes, with whom you can prepare delicious dishes seasoned with olive oil and tasted with the typical DOC local wine Est! Est!! Est!!! In this resort the ancient usage and the customs of the past join perfectly the most modern comforts and the hospitality of the nice apartments that will welcome you according to the tradition.
