Property and Design
The main building retains all the architectural charm of traditional Apulian masserias. The historic part of the structure dates back to 1850 and underwent a careful, conservative restoration. The charm of the original star vaults has been kept intact, while the building has been completely thermally insulated throughout its walls, ceilings, and floors.
Both the restoration of the antique section and the construction of the new areas were carried out using strictly natural and breathable materials, such as sandstone, lime plaster, and natural insulation. The spacious and bright interiors boast top-level finishes, including a magnificent poured-in-place terrazzo floor that runs seamlessly throughout the home. The design is enhanced by elements from top international brands: lighting by Flos and Reggiani, surfaces by Barazza and Mutina, and luxury fixtures by Hansgrohe and Gessi.
Large and welcoming living area embellished with a charming open fireplace
Fully equipped eat-in kitchen
4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms
Independent annex with 1 bedroom and a private bathroom (ideal for guests or staff)
