...Pellegrino family to accommodate as many as 37 guests. Strolling down a private dirt road on a recent sunny Sunday, family patriarch Antonio Pellegrino, 77, pointed out a small lake where visitors fish for trout and carp that can later be sauteed in oil made on site from locally harvested olives. Pellegrino showed off the cool confines of his 18th century stone olive press, which sees action only in November. During that harvest month, visitors can help pick the crop. He has noticed that American visitors are particularly keen on pruning the olive trees, though "they quickly realize...

Chilean sea bass can grow to 10 ft. and as much as 200 lbs., but poachers are known to harvest the high-profit fish at just 7 lbs.
