Venue No. 005 | Wedding under the stars | 100 guests

A wedding in the Valley of the Moon

Weddings in the valley of the moon feel timeless — held under wide skies, surrounded by olive groves, with the scent of wild herbs in the air. This striking 18th-century masseria, with its forty chimneys rising like quiet sentinels from the rooftops, offers a setting unlike any other in Puglia. Built originally to house a working community of sharecroppers, it has been transformed with care and vision into an elegant, organic estate — private, poetic, and perfectly suited for a wedding immersed in nature.

At the heart of Lama di Luna lies a vast internal courtyard, paved in warm stone and enclosed by whitewashed walls. Here, long tables are set under the stars, glowing with candlelight. The courtyard becomes your open-air dining room — a space that invites festive meals, heartfelt toasts, and music that drifts into the night.

Around you, the landscape stretches endlessly: ancient olive trees, neat vineyards, and the rugged beauty of the Alta Murgia National Park. This is a venue where you don’t need much decoration — the land itself does the work. As the sun sets, the light softens into gold, and the air fills with the scent of fennel and thyme. A wedding here feels grounded and grand all at once.

Whether you're planning a ceremony under the open sky or a lively dinner that flows from the courtyard into the masseria's elegant interiors, the masseria offers a naturally beautiful setting with flexibility, soul, and a sense of quiet luxury.
