Tenuta Masseriola
Its sophisticated design, stunning location, fabulous pool and natural colour palette make Tenuta Masseriola a truely class act
Tenuta Masseriola, although just a few kilometres from the foodie town of Carovigno, as well as the coast, enjoys a beautiful private spot, surrounded by eight hectares of olive groves and the rich, red soil and pretty stone walls typical of this part of Puglia.
There are three different buildings: an old trullo with a snail-shell external staircase, the original main house and a newer separate space which houses two of the four bedrooms. The architect, well known for his exemplary minimal designs, used traditional building techniques and materials to transform this former agricultural dwelling into a place of tranquil beauty.
Throughout the property, both inside and out, guests will be wowed by the beautiful soft light that is reflected in the warm stone that surrounds the pool, the simplicity of the interiors, and the polished concrete floors. A careful edit of designer furniture provides a seamless blend of old and new. There are two sitting rooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a dining room with a barrel-vaulted stone ceiling. A long table enables guests to live their best Italian life over dinners made from the abundance of fresh local produce.
The division of the bedrooms between the three buildings allows guests considerable privacy, while the living spaces both inside and out bring people together.
The pool is a gorgeous greeny-blue – the colour of the nearby sea as well as the various trees that surround it. This is a property that celebrates its beautiful surroundings with understated magnificence. You will be tempted to stay put but that would be to miss out on the riches that await beyond the gates, including the beautiful towns of the Itria Valley as well as the Torre Guaceto nature reserve.
