Centuries old olive trees are waiting here to greet visitors, ready to accompany them along the ancient tratturi

paths bathed in sunlight where one day seems the same as the next, but the towns and villages are all unique and different and each one offers its own hospitality, conversation, food, cooking and color.

THE BUONANOTTE DISTRICT

Among the hills of Vasto, in our own slice of paradise, is La Selvotta farming estate.

Start with a walk through the centuries old olive trees before visiting the estate’s olive press where you observe the different phases of oil preparation and the modern gathering and processesing techniques that transform the olives just hours after being harvested. This results in delicious oils rich in fragrances and beneficial properties.
