Located in the heart of Puglia’s olive groves is the beautiful
Masseria Francesco, dating back to 1689. Set in 15 hectares this
house has been dramatically transformed into a light and airy
retreat that builds on the historical blending with contemporary
style for the most discerning of tastes. The Masseria is surrounded
by over 100 acres of land and amidst the olive groves, wild flower
and lavender fields, guests can explore, walking or cycling along
the many tracks within the estate. For a lazy day, guests can
lounge by the vast beach-style swimming pool, or at the smaller
roof top pool. In the evenings, a private chef will create the most
wonderful Puglian dishes using homegrown produce from the kitchen
garden.
Price based on 7 night stay. Property also available per night.
