Our company The Villa Pontina farm, which the Pontecorvi family has owned for four generations, is located in the municipality of Sonnino, Latina province. It lies at the foot of the Lepini Mountains at 200 meters elevation and overlooks the Pontino plain, with a spectacular view of Sabaudia, Mount Circeo, and the . Historically devoted to olive cultivation, in the 1950s the farm was improved with dry stone wall terracing, and currently hosts over 1,400 olive trees. The rocky limestone soil and the marine exposure, along with the mild Mediterranean climate, have made it an ideal location for growing Itrana olives. In addition to olives, the farm grows vegetables and legumes, and the old farmstead that sheltered travellers from the elements in the early 20th century has now been converted into an elegant and prestigious country house and restaurant.
