The agriturismo

Pino Grande is a true farmhouse, in the heart of the Alta Murgia National Park, just a few kilometers from the mysterious beauty of Castel del Monte, inspired by organic principles, in harmony between man and nature.

The name desired by the Pavan brothers, heirs to a farm of approx. 38 ha, pays tribute to the presence of a majestic pine tree nearly 300 years old. It offers lodging in 7 rooms with breakfast or half board .

It has a Slow-Food restaurant.

The accommodation

In full respect of its ancient architecture made of local stone (restoration works were excellently directed by Eng. Natalino Petrone of Corato), the building consists on the ground floor of two small rooms, reception and breakfast or dining room, and a larger restaurant room that can comfortably accommodate 44 guests. The set of rooms could therefore cater for 70 people max.

The upper floors, which can also be reached by elderly and partially disabled people with an elegant lifting platform (home-lift), consist of 7 bedrooms, two of which, very large, also allow the addition of cribs. The offer of hospitality is completed by the availability of a small room with a small library and two living rooms.

MANSARDA Angela: 12 sq m room with an en suite bathroom. It was carved out of the farm's old grain pantry; the vault is wooden and is at eye level throughout the available space. Heating, air conditioning, TV, mini-bar, wi-fi.

PADRONALE Raffaella: large triple room of 20 sqm with en suite bathroom. Characterized by a splendid barrel vault, built with the use of special round perforated bricks, it was formerly reserved for the use of the landowner. Heating, air conditioning, television, mini-bar, wi-fi.

SUITE Enzo and Ileana: complex of living room, bedroom and bathroom for a total of 50 square meters with access to a large terrace of 180 square meters overlooking the garden with the Pino Grande. Ideal for longer stays, also exploited by large families for the possibility of placing additional beds in the living room. Heating, air conditioning, television, mini-bar, wi-fi.

Stefano bedroom: small room with double bed, bathroom in the hallway shared with Nicola bedroom. Excellent solution at an affordable price, guests will be surprised by the quiet and coolness enjoyed on hot summer days, with the possibility of using the reading room in front. Heating, wi-fi.

Little roomNicola: small room with two single beds, hallway bathroom shared with little room Stefano. Excellent solution at an affordable price, guests will be surprised by the quiet and coolness enjoyed on hot summer days, with the possibility of using the reading room in front. Heating, wi-fi.

All rooms are equipped with heating and largely fitted with period fixtures and family furniture from the last six generations that help give the stay that intimate and cozy character that is among the main aims of the farmhouse.

The oldest nucleus of the receptive structure, once the rural dwelling of the former owner of the entire farm, called Citulo, now split into several properties, can be traced back to the 17th century with extensive additions and modifications dating back to the first half of the 1800s. At that time the territory, which was already subject to the feudal lordship of the Carafa family, dukes of Andria and counts of Ruvo, following the process of privatization of state lands, generally became the possession of notables or members of the great agrarian bourgeoisie, who built their summer residences here.

Activities and surroundings

Located approx. 600 meters inside Provincial Road 234, the structure, with its stone walls over 1 meter thick and its back garden, lends itself to readings and moments of peace and tranquility.
Imbued with the same spirit, on foot or by mountain-bike (for rent), you can stray along the paths that branch off from the farm for interesting walks to discover flowers, plants and wild vegetables typical of the place or to admire, with ever-changing views, due to the undulating terrain, the surrounding countryside populated by its characteristic fauna.

The farm "Il Pino Grande" is characterized by an extremely varied production that includes, among others, various legumes, cereals, vegetables and fruit trees. The varietal choice is inspired by the recovery of traditional and Apulian agricultural biodiversity, such as wheat "Senatore Cappeli" or "Cece Nero della Murgia Carsica." "Il Pino Grande" products, all strictly BIO certified, are available to the public at the farm and at several Apulian organic outlets with which a supply relationship has been undertaken.

In the immediate vicinity it is possible to contact a riding school or make reservations for flights on ultralight aircraft.
The farm is in a favorable location to reach and visit -within max. 1 hour drive artistic, archaeological, historical-cultural and natural destinations of great interest. In addition to the nearby Castel del Monte ("the secular sanctuary" as it has been called) and the other castles of Barletta and Trani, nearby are the lovely resorts seaside resorts of Barletta, Trani and Bisceglie; the pre-Roman, Roman and early medieval remains of Canne della Battaglia, Canosa and Ruvo di Puglia; and the thermal baths of Margherita di Savoia, also famous for its salt pans, the largest in Europe, on whose territory a Nature Reserve was also established some time ago to populate with numerous bird species.

Other nearby places to visit are: Andria, Corato, Terlizzi with their ancient monuments and palaces, Minervino Murge, Altamura, Gravina, and, outside the Region, in Lucania, 70 km away, Matera (with its famous Sassi), which are also characterized by historical-naturalistic and environmental excursions, and the last two also by rock settlements.

The cities of Barletta, Trani, Ruvo, Bitonto and Molfetta, together with the not-so-distant Bari, located 55 km from the farm, also constitute the most important monumental area of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Other destinations are, to the north, Mattinata, Monte Sant'Angelo and San Giovanni Rotondo, on the one hand, and to the interior, in neighboring Lucania, Venosa, Melfi and the lakes of Monticchio, on the other.

We still cannot understand when she was able to stay with us. We can't find her on our register. However, even if we admit some distraction on our part (we don't consider ourselves perfect), we feel your complaint is unwarranted because we always give the option to go a la carte as well and, at breakfast, upon request, to receive other courses. Thank you, however.
