Acacia in its current form<\/strong> was formed by Gin\u2019s father, Lorenzo<\/strong>, who transformed the farm into an agriturismo<\/strong> in the early 1990s to give open-minded guest access to the beauties of the Pollino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Later a restaurant<\/strong>, built from the walls of the old sheep barn, was added to the guest house, so that our guests could enjoy local traditional dishes, skilfully prepared by Gin`s mother, Angela. There is also a large area designated for boy scout groups<\/strong> with bedrooms and bathrooms<\/strong> as well as a separate dining and cooking room<\/strong>, four toilets<\/strong> and three showers<\/strong> in the field and a place for campfires in the evening.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”]

Later I went to Tuscany to study. There I met my husband, Maurizio<\/strong> \u2013 also from Basilicata, Val D’Agri \u2013 and eventually turned my passion for cooking<\/strong> into a living. At that time, my presence at Acacia was limited to the summer and holiday periods. Far from Acacia, but with Acacia always in my heart. Until I realized that the hustle and bustle of city life was no longer for me<\/strong>, and so we decided to go back to the roots to live back home and to breathe new life into Acacia.<\/p>\n

I like to pamper our guests<\/strong>, to prepare a tasty meal<\/strong> for them, to get to know them<\/strong> and tell them about our region<\/strong>. Maurizio<\/strong>, on the other hand, waits on our guests<\/strong>, always ready to fulfil every wish with warmth and kindness<\/strong>. And when he is not looking after our guests, you will find him on the tractor or in the woods, taking care of the farm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”]
