Location & area
The farm "Le Farnie"
extends over twelve hectares and is situated 350 metres above sea-level on the hills of Altomonte, in Calabria, near the national park of Pollino, between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas.
Most of the farmland is given over to olive trees, because the olives grown here produce excellent high-grade extra-virgin olive oil; some land is used for growing fruit trees and rearing farmyard animals.
Le Farnie is a certified organic farm.
The Antico Frantoio del Castello
is an artisan olive press situated on the farm. Here, the olives are picked by hand from the trees while still green and milled within 24 hours picking. Olive oil is produced with the traditional millstone system and cold-pressed only once. This system produces fragrant extra-virgin olive oil that is full of flavour and has a distinct fruity taste.
Ours products:
the extra-virgin olive oil; the specialty in oil (fillet of aubergines, wild onions, artichokes, crushed olives); the cream of chilli peppers; the jams (grapes, peaches, cherries, plums) and the marmalade.
Le Farnie send through a forwarding agent all his products.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
