Tenute D'Onghia

The Tenute D’Onghia is a historic farmhouse set in the Apulian countryside, now transformed into an organic agriturismo and educational farm. Surrounded by fifty hectares of orchards, the property captures the charm of rural tradition while blending it with modern hospitality, offering rooms and apartments designed to ensure comfort and tranquility in an authentic natural setting. The ancient architecture, internal courtyards, and centuries-old olive trees preserve the memory of the past, while the facilities provide guests with a rejuvenating stay.

The day begins with a rich and unique breakfast that pairs typical Apulian sweets with savory farmer's breakfast dishes, featuring Altamura bread, focaccia, local cheeses, and seasonal vegetables. Both children and adults can engage in experiences close to nature: walks in the woods, outdoor fitness trails, educational games, workshops, and moments dedicated to discovering farm animals. From March to October, the farmhouse also offers themed days with activities for children and picnics featuring genuine products to enjoy among the orchards and equipped areas.

The family-run management creates a warm and engaging atmosphere: Nicola, heir to the farming tradition, guides guests through the fields, sharing the history of the farmhouse and offering tastings of certified organic products, from freshly picked fruits to local wine. This experience becomes an immersion in Apulian roots, filled with authentic flavors, direct contact with the land, and a model of sustainability that looks towards the future while honoring the past.

The location of Tenute D’Onghia allows for easy exploration of some of the most enchanting destinations in the region. Gioia del Colle, with its Norman-Swabian castle commissioned by Frederick II and the National Archaeological Museum, is a must-visit. The city is renowned for its mozzarella and Primitivo DOC wine, while nearby attractions include Alberobello, Matera, Castellana Grotte, Putignano, Polignano a Mare, and Bari, offering a journey through culture, nature, and culinary excellence.
