Biomasseria Lama di Luna Andria

In the heart of the golden, sun-scorched countryside just outside the ancient Puglian city of Andria, amidst seemingly unending lines of grape vines, olive groves and fruit orchards, stands the ancient farmhouse, Lama di Luna. Testifying to the region's centuries-old agricultural tradition, the Lama di Luna farmstay conserves the ancient rural customs of Puglia whilst, at the same time, embracing the latest concepts in bio-architecture, feng shui and eco-sustainability. Following meticulous restoration work, the original 18th century farmhouse has been transformed in exclusive country residence, complete with the very latest in environmentally friendly technology.

The Lama di Luna farmstay centers around a large courtyard where once whole families and colonies of sharecroppers used to gather, a small rural community which has now been replaced by travelers in search of simple and authentic places in which to stay whilst on holiday. Today, the dwellings once used by the farm workers have been converted into spacious guest rooms, each with traditional open fireplace and hotel-standard amenities.

Lama di Luna's organic farm is one of the most highly acclaimed in the area. The farm stay is surrounded by orchards brimming with delicately scented cherry and almond trees, vineyards, and olive groves, where the olives used to make Lama di Luna's excellent extra virgin olive oil and superb range of beauty and bath products are grown.

Whilst staying at the Bio Masseria Lama di Luna holidaymakers are treated to the very best local food and wine. A meal at the farm stay's restaurant is the perfect introduction to the flavors of Puglia, in the form of wonderfully simple dishes prepared using the farm's delicious, sun ripened organic produce, following age old recipes, passed down through the generations. Guests awake to the enticing aroma of Lama di Luna's tasty breakfast, comprised of savory bruschette, freshly-baked homemade breads and cakes, organic jams and fruit.

During the day, guests happily while away the hours relaxing by the panoramic swimming pool or in the large Library, reading a good book or simply chatting with friends. Those eager to explore some of the most interesting of Puglia's tourist attractions will be spoilt for choice: the nearby city of Andria, Trani, Minervino, Canosa di Puglia, the splendid natural landscapes of the park of Alta Murgia, the imposing Castel del Monte, the salt plains of Margherita di Savoia, the Romanesque Cathedrals and the magnificent beaches of Puglia, are all within easy driving distance of Lama di Luna.
