The first information about Vento Solare Farmhouse date back to the beginning of XIX century; at that time it was a farmer house expanding its lands and productions over most of the fertile neighbouring lands until '70s; its plentiful farm production ranges from wine to cereals and tobacco, which had been largely grown in Salentine Peninsula till 20 years ago.
The little outbuilding (now the hall of Vento Solare) was used as a warehouse for the dried tobacco, and outside there was a small wooden cottage coated with plastic and used as "natural stove" (to take advantage of the sun) for the drying of tobacco leaves before sending them to the manufacture.

The halls on the ground floor were used to accommodate the farmers and the owners MARTINO and COSIMA …

Today there are only the outer walls and some inner parts of the "old" Vento Solare Farmhouse due to the several restorations which have taken place for years until the last one, of these days, which changed the farmhouse into a pleasant resort with all comforts.

Vento Solare Farmhouse is located in the borough of Specchia and it enjoys an excellent position; in fact, from there you can see both the Salentine countryside with its colours and scents, and the Black Franciscans Abbey (Abbazia dei Francescani Neri) in the ancient district of the borough of Specchia.

At a few minutes from Vento Solare Farmhouse you will admire the most beautiful spots of Salento.
