About host

At Masseria Specula, our farmhouse is named after the traditional Apulian farmhouses from the early 1800s, which are called "masseria" in Italian. We are an eco-friendly boutique retreat venue. Our goal is to provide a relaxing experience for our guests while also being environmentally responsible. We run on clean solar energy during the day, and we invest in our own re-forestation and solar plant project.
