Magnificent estate with an exceptional view of the olive fields. Just as perfect a welcome and remarkable tasting quality from a enthusiast of his field. Difficult to make a choice among these oils with varied and refined tastes Too bad not to have closer access to the castle itself Absolutely worth discovering

A nice little olive grove. They produce one of the best olive oils I ever tried. You can order it online, however if you are close it is worth a visit. they have a small shop where you can try the different olive oils before you buy them. The staff is really friendly and explain the different flavors and the history of the place.
