Description
Interiors
Inside, Li Cafari Historic Masseria harmonizes historical elements with contemporary design. A seven-meter-high glazed atrium connects the two historic wings and floods the space with natural light. On the ground floor, a 320 sqm double-height living area unfolds into three lounge zones, a monumental concrete fireplace, and a dining room for 16 guests with panoramic sea views. Adjacent to this space, the Ernesto Meda–designed kitchen extends over seven meters and features two stone islands, while a guest bathroom completes the layout.
The eight luxury suites offer private and comfortable retreats. Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom, a dressing area, and a private garden with an outdoor shower. In addition, three of the suites are enhanced by their own private living rooms. Upstairs, a large sea-view terrace overlooks the Gulf of Taranto, and on clear days, the mountains of Calabria are visible in the distance. Further interior spaces include a breakfast lounge, a second kitchen, a gym, a hammam, and a service bathroom. Throughout the villa, the interior design blends Scandinavian vintage pieces from the 1960s and 1970s with modern furniture, iconic design works, eclectic art, and authentic textile accents, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
Exteriors
Outdoor areas further enhance the connection between the masseria and its natural surroundings. The rooms open directly onto gardens and outdoor lounge spaces, while century-old pine trees provide shaded areas for relaxation. Set within the olive grove, the 15×5m swimming pool is paired with a solarium dedicated to sunbathing. Moreover, the property features a vegetable garden, an orchard, and functional service areas for storage and parking. As a result, guests can enjoy a seamless relationship between architecture and landscape.
Location
Li Cafari Historic Masseria is ideally located in the Porto Selvaggio area of Nardò, offering both privacy and convenient access to southern Italy’s scenic coastline. While the estate enjoys a secluded setting, nearby beaches and natural parks are easily reachable. Elevated terraces provide sweeping views over the Gulf of Taranto, and, in particularly clear conditions, the mountains of Calabria can be seen. Overall, the location combines tranquil seclusion with striking natural scenery for an unforgettable stay.
