LAMIOLA PICCOLA

La Masseria

The Masseria history  begins at the end of the 1500s, where the original nucleus consisted of the underground oil mill, the remains of which are still visible today in a magnificent context renovated respecting its antiquity and in a space made available for guests. A document dated 1613 certifies its existence with certainty in the 17th century, when Donna Argenta Petrarolo purchased it and transcribed the sale in the Registry of the Hypogean Oil Mills. This “jewel”, created in a natural cavity, was at the time the place where olives were processed and where animals were gathered before the Transhumance.
The structure evolved with changes made at the end of the nineteenth century, in the mid-twentieth century and in the early 2000s.
Today Masseria Lamiola Piccola extends over an area of ​​approximately seven hectares of olive groves, orchards and gardens.
The building is partly the owners’ summer residence in which a welcoming Bed & Breakfast managed by them has been created.
