The Cultural Project
Adriana De Santis and Mimmo Rajola Pescarini, descendant of Luca de Samuele Cagnazzi, ventured into the enhancement of the Cagnazzi Historic House in ALtamura in Apulia, and appurtenances driven by the desire to know this heritage of buildings, furnishings and books. Since the beginning the couple has adopted the principle of absolute respect for this place, for its furnishings – restored laboriously and with great love – its books and archival documentation that contribute to the historical reconstruction of Altamura and of the figure of Cagnazzi. That’s why Adriana and Mimmo preferred to use the property privately, while promoting important cultural eventsand converting the property for short periods into a Bed and Breakfast / Holiday Home.
THE PROPERTY INCLUDES:
- The Dimora Cagnazzi
- Five hypogeal complexes
- Two icehouses
- Granaries
- A majestic trullo
- An ancient furnace
- Hives for beekeeping
- Areas with vineyards, olive groves, vegetable gardens and farmyards for donkeys, rabbits, hens and sheeps.
Welcome to Dimora Cagnazzi
ROOMS & WELLNESS AREA
The B&B Dimora Cagnazzi is located in Altamura, the city of DOP bread and an important center within the Alta Murgia National Park. Just 17 km Matera, also close to Alberobello and Castel del Monte, it is a historical place of cultural interest to be discovered, also ideal for visiting the most beautiful places in the surrounding area.
The B&B has 6 comfortable rooms that offer a wonderful experience of the past, without giving up any kind of comfort.
In the structure there is a wellness area consisting of a hydromassage pool, sauna, Turkish bath, herbal tea room and relaxation area. Use is included in the price of the B&B / Holiday Home.
A minimum of 2 nights stay is required.
“At the beginning of the adventure of the recovery of this structure in 2015, the dry stone walls that encircled it were for the most part uneven. The caves were blocked by material of all kinds and by waste, spilled by unknown persons over the years. The first heavy task was to rebuild the dry stone walls, a valuable feature of the area and to free the caves. Already in these first operations, while the excavator was taking out the waste, wonder and curiosity grew out of all proportion. The testimonies of the past began to reappear. The interior of the structure, without electrical and water systems, did not disappoint expectations. After 150 years of neglect that slowly left the house, antique furniture, furnishings, kitchen, clothing and many other things reappeared.”
Caves and Hypogea
It would seem that the caves, probably created for the ancient slaughterhouse, predate the quarries and that the latter were started from inside the caves themselves.
Educational Farm
The historic residence features an orchard, an olive grove, a vineyard, cereal and vegetable crops. It also houses beekeeping hives with an educational space.
Discovery of places
Guests will be welcomed by Adriana who will accompany them in the discovery of the external places, caves, tunnels, granaries, underground snow pits and everything else.
