Not your usual farm to table experience
When you think of 'farm to table' you'd probably think of rustic homes and country-style living. Maybe a quaint farm house in the middle of a field with chickens running around. Or possibly a tiny vineyard home that produces its own wine. We invite you to change your idea of what going back to the land means, by introducing ideas for your next luxury sustainable travel experience.
Farm to Table could be defined in many ways, but we see it as a luxury. It's the pleasure of knowing where the food on your table has come from, or finding sumptuous heirloom fruits and vegetables that only grow in a certain area. Or the joy in knowing that the relationship you've made with the person who cultivates the food you eat is a special one. It could even be the simple pleasure of knowing you're supporting a small venture.
Sustainable luxury holiday homes
Because we, at Le Collectionist, are always striving to create experiences that match the time we live in today, we've found two homes that allow you to be sustainable while you travel by going back to nature's roots. We're always delighted to find more and more self sufficient homes that are in complete harmony with nature.
Masseria Delle Arti in Puglia
A renovated Puglia farm that prides itself on its gourmet experiences
Masseria Delle Arti blends seamlessly into the rich green and earth tones of the surrounding landscape. The natural stones of the walkways, perimeter walls and building complex were established around ancient architecture that dates back to the 1800s. This home embodies a luxury holiday in Puglia.
This farm-turned-villa is now an oasis that delights food lovers and chefs alike. The farm to table experience comes in crafting your meal from start to finish at this extraordinary home. Pick fresh tomatoes from the garden on the property, then learn how to make tomato sauce from scratch. You can even learn how to make your own pasta by hand! If you love food, you'll also enjoy the experience of learning how to make cheese. For dinner, have the chef teach the kids how to make their own pizzas with ingredients from the garden.
Chalet Ornella in Megève
A sustainable wooden ecosystem nestled in the Alps
A family home built in 1906, the Chalet Ornella was brought to life by a Parisian, to whom a single visit was enough to make this space the means to express his desires. The home's incredible volumes, its all-wood frame, its charm and its soul were able to seduce him and persuade him to materialise his dream by leaving Paris for the beautiful Megève. It was a return to his roots for this original Savoyard who carried out all the work himself, researched the most noble materials and carried out the renovations while retaining the framework essential to the character of the place.
Taste the chalet's own vegetables and local produce at any time of day. Whether it be at the vegetable garden, gym, movie room, hammam, swimming pool, jacuzzi, or library, the Chalet Ornella offers a multitude of possibilities to have fun and relax. Ideally located, the chalet also allows you to easily reach the various ski slopes at the snap of a finger.
