Venue No. 020 | Masseria near the sea | 400 guests
400
The Masseria was founded a thousand years ago on a small hill in the south of Puglia and served as a customs post between the fiefdoms of Galatone and Galatina, divided by a small watercourse. In the 1700s, it was transformed into a small village where a community of at least 100 people lived and worked in the primary sector. Today, it is undergoing yet another transformation into a splendid venue, immersed in a park of over 10 hectares with a watercourse, a Norman church, and much more to discover.
Accommodations for 14 guests (expanding to 24 guests in 2026) are available within the Masseria itself. Nearby, additional lodging can be arranged in four boutique hotels—ranging from noble palazzos to a historic monastery—or in three nearby historic villas, each accommodating 8–10 guests and designed in the same timeless style as the Masseria.
The property is ideally located near one of the most charming village and stunning beaches in Salento, Puglia, offering a perfect blend of history, elegance, and local charm.

What makes it so special
I love how the Masseria feels like a world of its own. The old stone walls, the quiet watercourse, the gardens and Norman church—they make every moment feel grounded and beautiful. Hosting a wedding or party here isn’t about grandeur; it’s about being in a place that naturally inspires connection, laughter, and memories you’ll carry with you.
