Salento Sunsets Masseria

About venue

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 🍝.

COOKING COURSES: Get inspired! Gastronomy is another way to get to know the civilization of a people. And cooking is an alternative way to fully understand a territory 🌿. The wealth of Salento is above all that which comes from the earth, its gold what ancient and generous clods offer you. In our courses, you will learn how to prepare the famous orecchiette, homemade bread 🍞, typical sweets with honey 🍯 and almond paste, and to discover the use of local herbs and spices 🌶️. Each course is a new experience and involves the preparation and tasting of a complete menu.

RELAXATION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: The silence and tranquility of the Masseria are ideal for experimenting with wellness treatments and for taking care of yourself 💆‍♀️. Massages with specialized operators, Yoga courses and lessons, and sessions with a Personal Trainer are available to guests and can be easily booked.

PRIVATE GUIDED TOURS: Art itineraries Welcome to the land of Quinto Ennio! “The wise man is in vain who does not know how to help himself”, wrote the Latin poet. And this is why the Masseria offers its guests a wide range of excursions aimed at learning about Salento and its treasures, from the Abbey of Santa Maria di Cerrate to the splendor of Lecce, a treasure town where you can admire one after another the vestiges of the Roman past or the creations of the baroque genius 🖼️.

CYCLING & WINE TOURS 🚴‍♂️🍷: We will discover together a unique landscape, on silent roads that stretch out in the quiet countryside, such as the old street of San Pancrazio, the Salento cycling route that opens up unprecedented opportunities for tasting glorious wines and now renowned in Italy and in the world.
