Enchanting 17th Century Small Masseria In The Heart Of Apulia

Nestled in the quiet of the Apulian countryside and surrounded by ancient olive trees—some of which date back over two thousand years—this charming 17th-century small masseria is a unique place for those wishing to experience the most authentic side of Apulia, amidst nature, privacy, and absolute relaxation.

The property enjoys a privileged position, just a five-minute drive from the center of Monopoli and its stunning beaches, making it easy to combine the tranquility of the countryside with the convenience of amenities and the coast. The masseria has undergone a meticulous four-year restoration, carried out with great attention to preserving its original architectural identity and enriched by refined interior design research. The restoration works have successfully enhanced the typical elements of Apulian rural architecture, keeping the authentic character of the structure intact while blending it with comfortable, bright, and elegant spaces.

The heart of the house is a spacious living area with a barrel vault, connected to the kitchen and bathroom, which opens directly onto the paved outdoor courtyard equipped for outdoor living. The sleeping area features four large and bright bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and its own exclusive outdoor space—a particularly attractive layout for both a private residence and a boutique hospitality business. Indeed, each ground-floor room enjoys a privileged connection to the outdoors, with French doors leading directly to the pool, the garden, or the private citrus grove. On the upper floor, there is also an additional independent room consisting of a large bedroom, bathroom, and storage room, with access to the panoramic terrace.

The masseria is immersed in a deeply charming rural landscape characterized by olive trees, fig trees, almond trees, and grapevines. The outdoor spaces have been designed to fully enjoy the property throughout the year, featuring areas for relaxation, socializing, and total immersion in nature. The swimming pool, harmoniously integrated into the property’s setting, is one of the home’s key highlights. Next to the pool stands an elegant gazebo equipped with a fully appointed outdoor kitchen, ideal for open-air lunches and dinners, aperitifs, and moments of conviviality during the summer season.

The property also features two large cisterns, a typical element of ancient Apulian rural architecture essential for water management. An additional building of approximately 98 square meters, currently registered as a storage room, already holds an approved permit for renovation. This space represents a significant opportunity for expansion and personalization, allowing for further development of the existing spaces to suit individual needs.
