Meet Ginevra Pepere, the Owner of Cabbiavoli
Cabbiavoli has been in our family for various generations, and I've felt a special connection with the estate ever since my childhood. In 1996, our family restructured the various farm houses and barns into apartments in order to be able to share our love for this place and the area with our guests. The love for Cabbiavoli, as well as the success we've found with our guests, also led to the renovation of the main castle over 60 years since the last one carried out by my grandfather.
Year after year, I enjoy hearing the satisfaction and love our guests end up feeling for this estate and their holidays spent at Cabbiavoli. We have the fortune of many of them returning to stay with us, and in the end, becoming friends.
