A charming 17th-century farmhouse-turned-boutique retreat, Masseria Montenapoleone captures the essence of rustic luxury in the heart of Puglia. Set on a hilltop surrounded by olive groves and dry-stone walls, it enjoys a tranquil location just outside the historic town of Fasano. The Adriatic coast is just a ten-minute drive away, while Puglia’s iconic whitewashed villages – including Ostuni and Alberobello – are within easy reach. With Brindisi Airport only 45 minutes away, and Bari just over an hour, it's a conveniently located base for exploring the region.

In more detail

Each of the masseria’s rooms and suites is uniquely styled, blending antique furnishings with locally sourced materials. Expect vaulted ceilings, hand-painted tiles, and vintage iron beds, along with thoughtful modern touches like rainfall showers and air conditioning. Many rooms enjoy views over the olive groves or the sea, while larger suites offer added space and features like open fireplaces and private terraces. Sustainability is a key part of the ethos here, with much of the energy drawn from solar power and interiors crafted using repurposed or natural materials.

Dining is a real highlight. Rooted in a farm-to-table philosophy, the kitchen uses organic produce grown on the estate to create traditional Puglian dishes with a seasonal twist. Guests can enjoy homemade pasta, sun-ripened vegetables, and regional wines in the old olive press or under the shade of the pergola. There are also opportunities to join cooking classes or tasting sessions, giving a deeper appreciation of the region’s rich culinary heritage.

Despite its intimate scale, the masseria offers plenty in the way of facilities. The saltwater pool is framed by lemon trees and lavender, providing a relaxing spot to soak up the sun. There’s a small spa offering holistic treatments, a gym, and bicycles for exploring the countryside. Guests can also enjoy a games room or arrange excursions to nearby vineyards, coastal towns, or the dramatic caves of Castellana. It all adds up to a stay that combines traditional charm, authentic experiences, and laid-back luxury in one of Italy’s most captivating regions.
