Masseria Pezza Salento

Surrounded by vineyards 🍇 and olive trees 🌳, in an unspoiled rural landscape of the Apulian Salento, is set our Masseria. Here you can still experience authentic Apulia, but at the same time, you are not far away from the beautiful sandy beaches 🏖️ on the Ionian Sea.

This Masseria is a luxurious country house, which has been completely renovated, keeping the eighteenth-century structure and its original features. Large (arch) windows and high vaulted ceilings provide light and emphasize the impressive spaces inside. The attractive and playful interior is characterized by modern furniture with vintage & retro touch, wooden cabinets and tables, designer lamps, and local accessories made of glass and wicker.

Masseria comprises two buildings and can accommodate up to 14 people across its six bedrooms, all of which are different in size and orientation. The main house has three spacious bedrooms between 40 and 70 sqm, two of which boast private terraces, plus a light-filled dining/living area with a fireplace 🔥, lounge area, and a large dining table as well as a fully equipped kitchen 🍳.

The old stables have been converted into a garden villa, which features three additional ensuite double bedrooms, as well as a living space and a newly-built designer kitchen. In the courtyard of the Masseria is an inviting swimming pool 🏊‍♂️, which is framed by a pergola terrace where you can dine alfresco or lounge with a good book while enjoying the sunsets 🌅. Surrounding the farmhouse is 20 hectares of private land that’s planted with fruit and nut trees, as well as a vineyard and organic vegetable garden 🌶️.

The spacious indoor and outdoor areas offer an idyllic setting for yoga, meditation, and various wellness activities, providing a serene backdrop for self-care and physical rejuvenation. Whether it's a quiet morning of yoga in the olive groves, meditation at sunset, or personal training sessions, the tranquility and beauty of the estate cater to a restorative and enriching experience.

You can enjoy a variety of activities that we can arrange for your retreat group.

We can arrange a private chef exclusively for you, who will cook and reveal the secrets of Salento's dishes and recipes 🍝.
