Once a farm with a rich land ownership, today it is an elegant resort. You will be greeted by the owner, an architect from Lecce who has renovated and cared for every detail with passion and dedication to make you spend a holiday of comfort and relaxation in an environment that you will immediately feel familiar with. The structure was born with a green vocation, since it was entirely designed with low emission glass, to isolate it from heat, panels and wind turbines for energy. The four brick rooms are designed to create a real harmony between the interior and exterior of the structure. You can choose to sleep in the suite, surrounded by the warmth of the yellow that recalls the Earth, or in the double rooms Wood, Fire and Metal, each of which will transmit its own peculiar energy to you. A very special Masseria with four comfortable rooms, a swimming pool perfectly integrated in the rural context and large common areas for the exclusive use of guests, both indoors and outdoors, to enjoy breakfast, strictly with local products, or even just a glass of wine and reading a good book. The Salento context, the refinement of the furnishings and the refinement in the details, such as the paintings made specifically by local artists hosted in the structure, will make you live a living room wrapped in a particular magic, which will restore peace and well-being to the now too hectic life of everyday. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Pluses are that it is quiet and a bit off the beaten track, but also an easy drive to many of the Puglia sites. The main bedroom is very spacious and the other 2 bedrooms are adequate. Negatives are no washing machine, kitchen is a bit small , and pool is unheated (so that swimming in early June can be a challenge). Furnishings are adequate but not high end. The owner Vincenzo makes a great effort to be accommodating and the folks who manage the property for him are very available to answer all questions and help out. . He arranged a chef one night for us who was fantastic. ##### sanford k. ### 8/10 Good #### Javier M. 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### interesting Villa although not worth the Price our experience began with trying to locate the property, which is basically an unmarked Road off of another Road. Having driven past the Trail several times, I finally decided to venture through and GPS did lead me to the property. It is in a secluded area and extremely safe with virtually no neighbors. it is very rustic as described. There is a central house and for smaller houses creating a quad. The smaller houses were very large bedrooms each with its own bathroom and comfortably appointed. The backyard a sebaceous although there was no hot tub. The main house area was full of many relics and interesting paintings however, the furnishings appear like they were purchased from a thrift store. While the property lists itself as friendly, it really should've said "friendly. pet", as there is a resident cat on the premise. We didn't mind at all however, if you're considering renting this property and have an allergy to dander, you may wish to reconsider. 3 of the 4 burners on the stove in the kitchen were working. Unfortunately, there is no way to like to stove. There were 3 igniters that were present, but they have run out of gas and did not work. There is a working dishwasher, however. There was one television in the main seating room which worked nicely however, no audio system for playing music. convenient to many attractions, but not worth the money paid ##### Javier M.

The villa was ready upon arrival, we had ordered a catered dinner the night of arrival and we ate everything! The host was helpful and available throughout our stay. The pool was lovely during the heat wave and Mauricio the handyman was there daily to service the grounds. Garden available for amazing vegetables! Fig trees everywhere! As a 15th century building, it has its quirks, but rooms were furnished tastefully, beds were comfortable and this couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. Located minutes from the beach and within an hour of Gallipoli (highly recommended). We will definitely be back. One detail would be helpful is a photograph of the driveway (hard to find) from both directions before arrival. However, once found, you have struck gold!! ##### Lizzy R.

Lecce, tout prêt, permet de goûter aux petits bonheurs de l'Italie et plusieurs coins extra à vister aux alentour comme Gallipoli ou Otrante.

The photos don’t do it justice at all! The property is absolutely perfect! There is a fruit and vegetable garden... and u can get fresh tomatoes, basil, eggplant, chilli and more. The four main rooms are elegant. It is restored to its original feeling, but with modern requirements. The rooms a tad dark at night, but that didn’t bother us. We had 2 lovely dinners in the house by the pool. Cooked by a chef recommended by Vincenzo... (if you want that— stick to the beef, or eggplant parmigiana for main). The property is immaculate and well taken care of. The pool is cleaned daily..... Vincenzo took good care of us, and stocked up the fridge with breakfast food before we came and Puglia wine. He made some excellent recommendations..?(bar nobile in San cataldo for breakfast, and lido York for beach and yummy Lunch). And he recommended some lovely towns around to visit and beaches. We were 2 families....with four children and enjoyed it tremendously... we would definitely go back. The property is so peaceful and beautiful..... Thank you for a lovely holiday! Dina ##### Dina K.

Abbiamo accettato l’assalto dei gatti a tavola. delle api in piscina e siamo andati oltre tutto ma la proprietà, visti i disagi dell’AC avrebbe dovuto offrirsi per un rimborso. Invece siamo partiti nel silenzio più assoluto. Affittare un’in Proprietà per avere 4 giorni di relax ed invece trovarci a dover dormire con i bambini (stessa cosa una coppia di nostri ospiti) ci è dispiaciuto molto. ##### KRISTIN H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Françoise A., Montréal 5 Aug 2018 #### un endroit charmant Immense propriété, chaque couple peut avoir son intimité.

This property was absolutely AMAZING!! The hospitality we received from the moment we arrived till the moment we left was first class. I learned the phrase "casa tua" meaning "your house" and that's exactly how Vincenzo, Carina and Emmanuel made us feel during our stay. Because of the central location, we were able to visit so many beaches and towns on both coasts and saw so much of what puglia had to offer. There was more than enough sleeping room for my family (2 adults, 4 kids) and friends (2 adults , 1 kid) and 1 of the 4 bedrooms was not even used. Breakfast Made fresh every morning by Emmanuel was a great surprise and the spread was outstanding. I can't say enough good things about this trip. Gratzie, Gratzie, Gratzie a te Vincenzo!

Les chambres sont très spacieuses et décorées avec beaucoup de goût. La pièce à vivre est très conviviale et chaleureuse grâce à la chaîne hifi et au large choix de CDs. Vincenzo est un hôte accueillant et très serviable. Un tout petit bémol cependant mais lié au fait que le gîte est ouvert depuis peu , l'équipement de la cuisine est incomplet: couverts de service, casseroles et poêles en nombre insuffisant; nous l'avons dit à Vincenzo.

Venivamo da Roma e abbiamo affittato l'intera proprietà. Il livello complessivo della struttura è perfettamente corrispondente alle aspettative suscitate da quanto offerto e descritto sul sito, addirittura superiore, L'accoglienza e l'assistenza sono stati di piena soddisfazione e la cortesia e la disponibilità di Vincenzo, l'architetto proprietario e ideatore della ristrutturazione dell'antico complesso, ci hanno consentito di passare delle bellissime giornate nonostante i rigori del clima della fine dell'anno (ottima la climatizzazione). La struttura coniuga ambienti architettonicamente molto piacevoli tra tradizione e innovazione, a funzionalità, modernità e efficenza (notevole l'impiego di fonti energetiche rinnovabili fotovoltaiche ed eoliche, fibra ottica). Belli gli arredi. Gli spazi esterni privati dei mini appartamenti e gli spazi esterni comuni, bellissima la piscina esterna che dato il clima non abbiamo però potuto utilizzare, disegnano e si immergono nell'ambiente rurale tipico del Salento tra muri a secco, olivi, fichi, piante grasse e vegetazione tipica della zona. La zona soggiorno comune, in gran parte dotata di spledide vetrate che danno continuità con gli spazi esterni, è molto amplia e consente sia di socializzare che di svolgere attività in autonomia. La cucina è attrezzata con apparati industriali che abbiamo utilizzato per il cenone di Capodanno (eravamo, compresi gli ospiti, 28 persone comodamente sistemate nel grande soggiorno!).
