Tenuta Sofia is synonymous with genuine hospitality and agricultural sustainability tailored to size. Hospitality here means sharing experiences also through the kitchen, where food unites everyone, giving emotions with its true flavors. We use the daily products of our olive groves, gardens and orchards that vary with the seasons, combining them with the best local, organic and seasonal raw materials. Our kitchen, rooted in Mediterranean tradition, is enriched with aromas, techniques and inspirations from our travels. We want to go beyond traditional limits, allowing the expression of creativity and innovation, so we ask our guests to trust our chef Lorena to live a unique culinary experience.
