Tenuta Terra Rossa is located in Rossano, an ancient Byzantine city set amidst the Mediterranean landscape of the upper Ionian region. Housed in a former 16th-century monastery, the property has evolved over time into a farm and has regained its former glory thanks to careful restoration. Surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and organic citrus groves, it provides a serene atmosphere just five minutes from the sea, the Odissea 2000 water park, the Amarelli Licorice Museum, and the town center.
In about half an hour, one can reach the heart of the Sila mountains and the Pollino National Park, while the archaeological sites of Sibari and Paludi, as well as the Ducal Castle of Corigliano, are only fifteen minutes away. Its location makes it perfect for exploring Calabria and southern Basilicata, where the sea and mountains meet in a journey through history, nature, and traditions.
The farm spans 50 hectares and produces extra virgin olive oil from the Dolce di Rossano variety, along with lemons, oranges, and clementines. The Renzo family has always focused on quality and the ecological balance of their crops, achieving official certifications through rigorous inspections. Over the past ten years, brothers Cesare and Vincenzo have expanded the business into hospitality, converting part of the manor into a welcoming accommodation and adding a restaurant that specializes in traditional Calabrian cuisine alongside agricultural production.
The B&B rooms are simply furnished in accordance with rural tradition and come equipped with all modern comforts, including a TV, air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom. Some rooms offer sea views, while others overlook the inner courtyard. Each room includes a covered parking space, and guests can unwind in the spacious garden, perfect for reading or letting children play.
Breakfast is prepared with fresh, local ingredients and is served outdoors in the summer months under the shade of lemon and orange trees, while in winter, it can be enjoyed in front of a large fireplace. The estate's restaurant features typical dishes and excellent naturally leavened pizza, complemented by the authentic flavors of the region.
For those looking to enhance their stay with outdoor experiences, excursions, horseback riding, sailing trips, and sports activities like surfing can be arranged upon request. The Tourism Department of the Province of Cosenza has awarded the property the highest category rating, recognizing it as an excellence in local hospitality.
