If you’re looking for a relaxing place surrounded by the olive trees of the Apulian red soil but still close to the thrilling life of the picturesque towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, this is the place for you!! The rooms are part of a typical masseria which tells stories of our ancestors. Indeed, this old structure dates back to the 18th century and was built by my family’s great-grandparents. If you really need relax and rest, you can enjoy the masseria itself with its huge external area, the clear light of the blue sky, the view of the olive trees and you can have a nice chat with us. You will always feel at home here. The rooms are suitable for couples, for people travelling on business, for families with children, for aged people and for disabled people. There is a multifunction room, a dining room and a kitchen at your disposal to be shared with the other guests.

I used to travel a lot and lived in various European countries. When I decided to stop travelling and settled in my Apulia, I thought about travelling in a different way, that is to say by welcoming guests and getting them to feel at home. I dream about turning my ancestors’ masseria in a place where people can turn their mobiles off and talk to each other, look for the beauty of nature all around, listen to music looking at the blue sky and read poems while smelling the flowers.

Polignano a Mare is a five-minute car ride and you will be able to enjoy the rocky coastline and the deep blue sea. If you want white sandy beaches you will drive to the town of Monopoli in only 10 minutes. In half an hour you will reach the lovely town of Ostuni, nicknamed “the white town” for its whitewashed houses and stunning view of the surrounding landscape. Torre Guaceto Natural Reserve is only 40 minutes drive from the Masseria; Alberobello, the “trulli town”, only 30 minutes and the beautiful Castellana Caves only 15. In 35 minutes you will reach the capital city of the region, Bari and in an hour the elegant and baroque city of Lecce, capital of Salento, down south the region.
