See moreIn dialect Crita means clay, a white clay of which the ancient ground of Cutrofiano's countryside is made.
A white and generous clay that for centuries has enhanced the land with a strong and lavish agriculture based on wheat and olive trees, and with ceramics made by masterly hands.
Critabianca is a tribute to the Land of Salento, an ancient territory where History is slowly narrated and Nature is quietly revealed through light and beauty.
The country house used to belong to Jean Goulart de Sauméry, regent of Castel del Monte during the Angioini period.
It then became the summer country residence of rich middle-class families of the Bourbon 1700s, and in the late 1800s it became a farmhouse devoted to the production of tobacco…Critabianca is full of History.
With the authenticity and simple elegance of country houses, Critabianca invites you to experience Salento’s charming lifestyle in the heart of Galatina’s countryside, among olive trees and prickly pears, where the sunlight and the white glare of lime plastered walls blend together.
