Origins of Tenuta Belvedere
The love for the sea and the land was the impetus to bring the estate back to life, transforming it from the ancient farm where cuttings were grown and cattle raised, into a residence among the olive trees destined to host and transmit the echo of those sensations to their guests.
This is the dream realized at the end of the 1960s by the Tondi della Mura family, owners of Tenuta Belvedere. With the renovation of the farm, to which new buildings were added over the years, he intended to create a comfortable home between the countryside and the village, surrounded by the greenery of olive trees and close to the sea.
