A place for the Seekers
Listen, Share, Grow.
Immersed in an olive grove and surrounded by oak trees, Maraviglia's palpable energy offers a truly authentic experience.
Rebalance, Reconnect, Retreat
Maraviglia is the family home where owner, Francesco Piattelli, spent all of his childhood. After leaving Italy to go to school and start a business in New York, he felt a deep-seated urge to return to his roots and reconnect with the land that had nurtured him. He returned to his ancestral home and took to restoring the farmhouse to where it is today. In 2018, he also began a farming venture called Agricola Maraviglia, with a vision to produce fine olive oil and a line of fermented condiments, a range to honour ancient traditions and combine them with the sustainable principles of Regenerative Agriculture.
Community is the core
Discover tranquillity in the natural pace of rural lifestyle and balance in the quality of locally grown organic food.
He found that country living embodies all the power to heal. Maraviglia became a place for him to practice mindfulness and gratitude, strengthening the belief that living in a healthy, balanced, natural manner is a way to make positive change for ourselves and for the ecosystems in which we live.
Home cooked meals with produce from the surrounding garden, an abundantly lush landscape, warm greetings from nearby neighbors and best of all, total silence.
But how could he share this replenishing experience with others? The need to create this kind of safe space led Francesco to rediscover the magic in Maraviglia, a place where guests can live connected to nature and follow the countryside rhythm.
Slow Feasting Philosophy
Locally grown. Organic. Vegetarian. And delicious? Of course.
At Maraviglia, mealtimes are sacred. We dine together as much as possible, breaking bread and sharing stories with each other. When it comes to provenance, we use as many ingredients from our own garden and local farms as possible. The need for nourishment and respect for the land is balanced with delighting the taste buds. And we really do love delighting taste buds!
Picture fresh pasta, herby salads, warm focaccia straight from the oven. Nourishing soups, decadent desserts. The freshest local ingredients, with airmiles swapped for footsteps, from farm to table. Every meal we share is an opportunity to enjoy the simple and profound pleasures of food as it should be - local, together, sharing stories, thoughts and ideas under the light or night sky.
