This Masseria has been well preserved to keep and now share its history. It is rich in history and character. It is on the outskirts of Monopoli, extraordinarily near to supermarkets to still boast, on some sides, a view of the sea. We enjoyed being able to walk up the huge dramatic sweep of the Masseria’s staircase and stay within its walls. The conversion of the Masseria still retains its history and is loving and homespun. We read amongst the olives, swum in the pool and visited many beautiful towns nearby. On the last day, Marco gave us a tour of the Masseria which I would highly recommend.
