The Giammarino farmhouse for vacations in Apulia is near the sea in the area of Salento. These farmhouses, in particular, were originally built as part of the defences of the area and their main income was derived by growing crops for the local sheriff, who never owned the land himself, but rather was custodian for the monarch. Many farmhouses as a result were built in Apulia and provided a nice income indeed!
The Giammarino farmhouse for vacations is to be found near the resort of Torre Sant'Andrea about 1km from the coast. It is a restored 6th century farmhouse that had been left to decay for decades. Today it is open all year round and provides an elegant agritourism site.
Guests are guaranteed to relax and recharge their batteries amongst the wonderful Mediterranean countryside with its abundance of aromatic herbs, the wonderful Apulian kitchen, where you can sample and fall under the spell of the tastes and flavours of this part of Italy and sporting activities; it is this very combination that makes for a wonderfully relaxing holiday.
A short distance away it is possible to go horse riding, play tennis and go mountain bike riding by local lakes, and also have quad bike lessons. For vacations in Apulia and at Giammarino, in particular you will have difficulty in choosing from the many beautiful beaches nearby, or from just relaxing in the peace and quiet of the local countryside.
