Hospitality, simplicity, genuiness. Three words to distinguish Valle verde, an agritouristy farm immersed in a pine forest founded in the early 1980s, situated in the countryside near Altamura, the City of Bread. Since always we’ve given much importance to the values of hospitality and family to manage our activity. The stillness and the charm of this place (400 metres of elevation) guarantee a relaxing and pleasant stay not only during summer: we await you in autumn, with the colours of the grape harvest; in winter to spend pleasant nights next to a burning chimney; In spring, when the farmland is covered in bright green grass. Our cuisine has been the key of our success throughout the years. Mrs Rina, the adorable mistress of the house, always available and hospitable. Above all she is an excellent cooker who has counted on traditional recipes implying mainly homemade products. The structure has available several accommodations for overnights. We have available three comfortable bungalows immersed in the pine forest for our guests and three welcoming rooms in the main structure furnished simply and rurally. Valle Verde has got many leisure facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court and Ping-Pong. The surrounding territory offers the opportunity to visit landmarks of great historical and cultural importance such as the Uomo di Altamura.
