Holiday apartment in Amica – Olive culture, monastic history and experiences

Amica is associated with a rural olive-growing culture. This makes the area particularly interesting for travellers who want to explore regional history, landscapes and culinary delights through tangible experiences. This creates a holiday theme for you that combines historical traces, olive oil and shared leisure activities.

Holiday apartment in Amica between olive culture and history

One historical focal point is Tenuta Terra Rossa in C.da Amica – Località Onda. The estate includes a former monastery built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The monastery later belonged to the Renzo family. The combination of historic architecture and a rural setting gives a trip to Amica a cultural dimension without reducing the area to its history alone.

Olive groves, olive mill and guided tastings

Tenuta Terra Rossa offers tours of its olive groves and guided visits to its olive mill. These are complemented by guided tastings of extra virgin olive oil. This makes it possible to discover olive cultivation from several perspectives: through the trees, the processing and the flavour of the finished oil. For a self-catering holiday, this focus can be just as interesting as it is for anyone who wants to consciously include regional products in their holiday experience.

A park with a special collection of olive trees

Azienda Agricola Bio F.lli Renzo includes a park with centuries-old olive trees. The park consists exclusively of the Dolce di Rossano variety and is recognised as a Slow Food Presidium. Azienda Agricola Bio F.lli Renzo covers around 50 hectares, including 28 hectares of olive groves.

Sports and green space in Contrada Amica

Contrada Amica also offers specific opportunities for active time together. On 3 February 2024, a new multi-purpose sports facility was inaugurated there in Rossano. It has a basketball and volleyball court, as well as an equipped children's area and a green space. The children's area and the open space in particular give families an additional opportunity to make their stay varied, while basketball and volleyball add a sporting accent.

Traditions and a date for active excursions

The Festa di San Giuseppe is part of Amica's cultural heritage. It is one of the firmly established traditions of the city of Corigliano-Rossano and the Contrade Amica and Iti, and is renewed year after year. A specific date for an active outing was the 2025 edition of the event Camminata tra gli Olivi – Coltiviamo la Pace. It began on 26 October 2025 at 9:45 a.m. at the meeting point of Azienda Agricola Bio F.lli Renzo in C.da Amica – Località Onda, Rossano.
