Matera, following the rhythm of the seasons
Each experience is built around something that actually happens in Matera at that time of year — a lit oven, a harvest, a procession. Nothing artificial.
Small groups
Never more than 15 people. In a Sassi alley, an underground cellar or around a kitchen table, the number changes everything.
Real people
Our guides don't rehearse a script: they tell the story of the grove they tend, the feast they celebrate, the kitchen that's theirs.
Real seasons
Each experience exists only in its season. If the time isn't right, it doesn't happen — and that's exactly the point.
Oliveti Ritrovati
We were born to reclaim abandoned centuries-old olive groves around Matera. Every experience you live helps keep a 200-year-old tree standing.

Real experiences
Lit ovens, centuries-old olive groves, home kitchens. Each experience is built around something that genuinely exists.
