The property is located in Cocumola (LE) – (hamlet of Minervino di Lecce), an enchanting village of a few hundred inhabitants better known as the " Town of good cuisine", inhabited since the earliest times, as demonstrated by the presence of dolmens and menhirs.
Cocumola is 5 km from Santa Cesarea Terme and about 10 km from Otranto.
Vittorio Bodini, one of the most relevant of Salento's poets of the twentieth century, dedicated a poem to the town.
“A town called Cocumola is like having flour-stained hands and a lemon-colored green door. Men in silent shirts tie a knot to their handkerchiefs to remember their hearts. The tobacco is drying, and life Cocumulates (accumulates) among the pots where feathered women taste the broth”
