The second consists of entrance - hallway, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. On the ground floor there are 12 rooms. The original structure of the manor house dates back to 1600 and looks into the distance the two breasts of the Small Sea. During the following century it was fortified for defensive purposes and enlarged. Then arose the house of the keeper and a guest house. It was also enriched with an oil mill and other working environments where cheese was made and, depending on historical periods, other raw materials from the surrounding fields, such as cereals, vegetables, tobacco, thus giving a job and shelter to the huge crowd of families that animated every corner. Probably it was the dowry of a girl of good family, given, together with the farm, to the cloistered nuns, of which it remained property until 1870. After a few decades it was bought by Antonio Cavallo and is still owned by his descendants. Surrounded by beautiful and productive olive trees for a total area of about 19 hectares. The farm is located a short distance from major road and motorway junctions, so it is ideal for the creation of a tourist - accommodation.
Suggestions of a long history that smells of sacred and profane, of solitary reflection and noises of family, sea and land. Harmonious contrasts that characterize the wonderful land of Puglia.
