Aia di San Giorgio

Das Aufenthaltspaket beinhaltet ein köstliches Frühstück mit traditionellen salentinischen Süßigkeiten, die aus biologischen und regionalen Zutaten hergestellt werden.

In San Giorgio's courtyard, we often stop to share and listen to fascinating stories. Even food has its own tales to tell.

In our kitchen, furnished with reclaimed objects, you will find one of the ancient wooden cabinets, which holds marvelous stories. These stories narrate the great and ancient dream of the land: to give the wheat. While the wheat, caressed by the wind, gives golden smiles, it dreams of being harvested by skillful hands, those of the "artists" who know how to transform it into homemade pasta.

The wheat, coming from Italian lands and worked by the Salento pasta masters, becomes the pasta of San Giorgio's courtyard, served on our tables and also a memory to take home.

On each package, you will find a sentence that tells a story within the story, that of the courtyard, its dreams, and its philosophy. Thanks to the wheat, we want to be storytellers who carry on ancient traditions for you!
The Salento dishes offered to our guests bring the tradition of Salento to the table, just like our pasta.

We follow and listen to the season, using vegetables and fruits that come directly from the synergistic garden and trees, and the oil, whose fragrance is anticipated by the sight of the olive trees surrounding the courtyard.

The recipes we use are those "secret" ones handed down by grandmothers, whose aroma awakens memories and tells once again the story of a land rich in vegetables and wild herbs, the story of a simple and genuine cuisine, with unrefined flours and barley.

Alongside classic seasonal dishes such as ciceri e tria, fava beans and chicory, and lamb rolls, we also remember to serve horse meat. Once widespread because horses were used for work in the fields and only became a precious and energizing food when they were old.

During winter, to warm lunches and dinners, there is our fireplace made of Lecce stone, which, when lit, spreads a familiar warmth. In summer, to welcome friends, there is our porch overlooking the olive grove, where you can also sit down for an aperitif, enjoying a typical Salento wine, of course!
