Il Borgo Valle Rita - Apulia
Valle Rita is part of the old Girifalco farmhouse and is situated 72 metres above sea level. It boasts a tower dating back to the 11th century. The Girifalco estate has always been strategically important and rich of farming land: it belonged to important families as the Doria family in the 16th century, the Marquis Alcanices and grandees of Spain from the 17th to the end of the 18th century, when the property was donated to S.M. Maria Crristina of Austria, the last feudal lord until 1924. After that, the estate and the farm were divided. Today, the estate-farm belongs to the Lunati family, who were initially enchanted by the beauty and the charme of a secret, hidden land, full of history and very peaceful. This has inspired them to restructure the whole estate always aware of its authenticity and historical value. |
Valle Rita offers many facilities to its guets to allow you to totally relax and fully enjoy the charm of our authentic countryside. In this historical site, there are different activities ranging from relaxing bike rides to educational meetings on organic farming techniques, from dives into the beautiful panoramic swimming pool overlooking the vast countryside to playing tennis and much more. Valle Rita also offers its guests a romantic bar sourrounded by prickly pears and an ancient stable that is ideally suited for business-meetings, game-playing, relaxing and cooling down during the hot summer days or just sipping a glass of wine after dinner. There are also beautiful beaches nearby, as well as horseriding schools and golf courses.
