Authentic eco-sustainable masseria with outstanding pool

Exquisite and full of charm, this gorgeous property with an amazing pool is ideally situated in a quiet countryside setting, yet just a 20-minute drive from the sea. A thoughtful restoration has enhanced the quintessential characteristics of a rural property typical of the region, which are further exalted by the elegant traditional and sustainable décor of the interiors. Photos cannot fully capture the magic of this property. Once there, you won’t want to leave! The cozy atmosphere, the lovely Lecce stone finishings and the superb little extras such as the door frames, the stone fireplace and the traditional Apulian décor make it an absolutely idyllic setting.

This beautiful property, renovated in 2018/2019 with criteria of eco-sustainability whilst retaining all original features, is a real authentic masseria which dates back to the 19th century and not a newly-built one. In fact, it is included in the regional list of the “Scattered Architectural Heritage”. The current owners made a great effort to redesign it and get from it a gorgeous place where you feel calm and peaceful. When you walk into the property you will be seduced by all finishes, the quality of the fittings and its Apulian style which is surprisingly unique.

The property has an attractive garden of approximately 2,3 hectares with 180 olive trees (partly young and partly centenary, all in good health), 170 fruit trees of ancient native varieties (such as figs, apricots, pears, apples, plums, mulberries, oranges, mandarins, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberry trees, jujubes...) and vegetable garden of approximately 700m2. The garden includes also a delightful wrought iron greenhouse set up for breakfast where you can enjoy the fresh air and the peaceful surroundings with your pasticciotto and coffee.

In excellent condition throughout, the property comes with 300m2 living space and comprises a large reception room with ancient fireplace, a stunning dining/living room, a toilet, a fully fitted kitchen, 4 generous en-suite bedrooms, two of which with an additional entrance room. Each bedroom boasts a private shaded pergola and an independent access from the garden. The estate also includes a storage room, a laundry room, a useful utility room and a magnificent pool measuring 50m2 and featuring 2 porticos.

The warm welcome and comfort, the peaceful and private surroundings, its unique charm and character are the key features which make this property stand out from all other properties and its touristic competitors.
