- JCJulianne· May 27th, 2025I had an absolutely wonderful stay and experience . It was better than I had anticipated . It was wonderful staying on a working olive farm with the family who owns it . I felt like part of the family . Emilio is a great chef , the food was truly representative of the local PUGLIAN cuisine using all local ingredients. A very relaxed way of discovering southern Puglia -the Salento region including wine tasting , chocolate tasting with multigenerational companies ( and VERY delicious!) along with pasta making lesson and of course sightseeing to the many different places in the Salento .THANKYOU Emilio , Michael and of course Antonio ( papa) for a truly local and delightful experience . GRAZIE MILLEShow more

I am really glad you enjoyed this tour, Best regards OmarTrip date: May 2025 - SRSharon· May 8th, 2025We enjoyed the overall experience of the farm stay.

They were very accommodating.Show moreSoleto Travel commented on this reviewHi Sharon, Many thanks for your review, we are really glad to know you enjoyed the tour in Salento!

Carmen· December 12th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishI loved the trip and the tour. Both Emilio, Clara and Miki were charming at all times and very attentive to my needs and well being. Always with a smile. I loved the area and Emilio's cooking. I still dream about his dishes, especially the tuna tartar and the gnocchi with prawns!!! It is an experience that I recommend to everyone without hesitation.Show moreTrip date: July 2024- Sarah· December 9th, 2024Thank you Emilio and family for hosting me at Tenuta Linazza! I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. My heart is full from your generous hospitality. Emilio, your passion for cooking shines in every plate of delicious food you made. Thank you for sharing your chefs secrets and teaching me to respect every single ingredient. Cooking classes at the end of the day was highlight for me after enjoying the sights of Puglia. No day was rushed and I was able to have free time. My itinerary was moved to suit the weather to maximise my experience. My night tour in Leece was spent with Emilio’s father Antonio, who was born in Lecce, and was an expert guide of the area. Thanks to Michael also for showing me some sights including Alberobello which was truly a special town to visit. Until next time!Show moreTrip date: December 2024

- MMMichael· November 20th, 2024We were 2 couples on this small group tour during October- and had a marvellous time with Emilio, Clara, Michele and Antonio - staying in guest accommodation on an olive farm at Castoglione - with daily tours to see all the major tourist sites in this part of Italy. Because of the small and personal nature of the tour we were able to experience this part of Italy with much more of a "local flavour" than is normally possible - which we all appreciated. Emilio is an excellent chef and provided us with authentic ‘Pugliesi’ cuisine - something we looked forward to at the end of each day.Show more
Trip date: October 2024 - AHAnna Catharina Maria· October 26th, 2024Taste of Solento - Authentic Culinary Experience It was a quite nice week I spent at Tenuta Linazza, the place where host Emilio lives with his wife Clara and their four children. The location is beautiful, right in the middle of the campania. The room was newly built and quite nice and quiet. Emilio was a great host, who has a lot of information about the region of Salento. We (the company consisted of 7 people in total, a nice small group) were taken to many interesting places and beautiful little coastal towns like Otranto, Castro, Gallipoli. Also we visited an olive pressing company, an exhibition and a winery. The food (breakfast and diner) that Emilio served was very tasteful; he is an absolute chef! Also we learned a lot about the Italian kitchen, things that I definitely will apply in my own kitchen. On top of this Emilio made us guests feel at home and he mae these six days a wonderful experience,Show moreSoleto Travel commented on this reviewHi Anna Catharina, Thanks for your review, however I hope the tour lived up your expectation and you had a good time in Salento.

- TOR· August 5th, 2024Do you want to experience the REAL Italy? Do you want to experience the area that Italians vacation at? Do you want to stay at a real working olive farm where the owner just happens to be a local celebrity chef too? When we say family owned, family run we mean it, in that the daily excursions (in the family van) and fabulous meals wouldn't be possible without the help of the wife, brother, father and even the four little ones! Don't even bother to finish reading this, just book it NOW! So real, so fun, so delicious, thank you Emilio and family for an unforgettable week!Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- MTMary Frances· July 28th, 2024Emilio and his family are so lovely. Very welcoming and friendly and Emilio is also an amazing cook. For the majority of my time there, I was the only guest, but they still went above and beyond to make my time with them very special. And it was. I was sad to leave and will always have very fond memories of my time in Castiglione. A wonderful time away from hoards of tourists.Show moreTrip date: July 2024
