Lecce Five-Star Masseria | Puglia

Interiors

Built in the traditional chunky Lecce limestone, this structure was once a flower market dating back to the 12th Century. A meticulous and careful renovation brought design and luxury in their purest forms to this authentic property. The interiors exude a quiet and calm aesthetic: frescoed star ceilings and design furnishings characterize the bright living space, which opens onto the garden. Two large drawing rooms and three dining rooms equipped with Bang & Olufsen pieces are at guests’ disposal. The professional kitchen can only be used by the staff, who will be at guests’ disposal for all meals. The chef offers a cuisine that is the perfect blend of east and west, like the land of Puglia, made with natural and local ingredients.

The villa can sleep up to 18 adults and 7 children in 8 double rooms, all en-suite, including 2 master bedrooms, 3 rooms with private gardens and 3 simple rooms. They are all furnished with king size beds with memory foam mattresses that can be made into twin beds when necessary. Some rooms can accommodate up to 4 guests. One of the master bedrooms has access to the garden and features a private Turkish bath. All the rooms are equipped with a Bang & Olufsen Smart TV, AC and minibar. A heavenly spa completes the interior.

Entirely built in Lecce stone, the spa consists of a sauna, a Turkish bath, a heated indoor swimming pool, a horizontal shower that operates as a massage center (Vichy shower), and a massage room.

The Masseria is equipped with an elevator for disabled guests and has a private Romanesque church that is available for weddings and events.

Wi-Fi internet access available indoor and outdoor.

Exteriors

An immense garden, rich with olive and palm trees, surrounds the Masseria.

Equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds, this is the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer afternoon. The villa also has private on-site parking.
