Description

Nestled within the verdant landscapes of the Puglian countryside, Masseria San Michele stands as a testament to centuries of history and charm. This extraordinary stone masseria, boasting sections dating back over 700 years, has been meticulously restored to offer a luxurious retreat for discerning guests seeking the authentic Puglian experience.

Featured in the esteemed Daily Mail article 'Perfect Puglia', this enchanting property is a true sanctuary, cocooned within over five acres of meticulously landscaped gardens. Mature olive, almond, and fig trees dot the sprawling grounds, while a captivating natural grotto, adorned with historic frescoes dating back between 1200 and 900 years, adds an air of mystique to the surroundings.

At the heart of this unique estate lies a sprawling four to five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence, exuding elegance and comfort in equal measure. The interiors, tastefully furnished with a blend of antique, vintage, and contemporary pieces, offer spacious living areas adorned with modern amenities and air conditioning in all bedrooms.

Step outside, and you'll discover a haven of relaxation and entertainment. The expansive pool area, complete with covered cabanas, beckons guests to unwind in style, while a large covered dining area and an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue provide the perfect setting for al fresco gatherings. Challenge friends to a game of boules on the court or bask in the panoramic views of the surrounding olive groves from the rooftop terraces.

For those seeking culinary delights, the vibrant town of Ceglie Messapica, renowned for its gastronomic scene, is just a stone's throw away. However, with its secluded setting and enchanting ambiance, Masseria San Michele offers a sanctuary of privacy and tranquility for families and friends alike.

But perhaps the crowning jewel of this remarkable estate lies in its breathtaking gardens, boasting hundreds of varieties of Mediterranean and dry garden plants. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you explore this botanical wonderland.

For those eager to further enrich their experience, an array of bespoke services awaits, from private chefs and cooking lessons to olive oil and wine tastings, local guides, and cycling tours.

Not what we expected

We traded 8 keys for a week at property. Pictures looked lovely….however deferred maintenance and lack of care of grounds made the week less than enjoyable. Pictures were not representative of property. Luckly for us, our friends who we invited did not come, it would have been a total embarrassment for them to sleep in the two bedrooms off kitchen because of the foul odor. We felt obligated to nicely contact owner (who lives out of the country) with a list of problems needing to be addressed. We did get an email back…..regarding why grounds were unkept and other issues. We felt the amount of keys was way more then we would have ever given known the condition of property. ”

Great historic vibes!

We had a wonderful week in this great, well-appointed house. The pool was great, and with all the comforts you could want, including a great BBQ area and dining table. The home was very private and perfect for daily excursions to many wonderful little cities in this region. We all had a wonderful, unforgettable experience. Thanks to Ian for making everything easy and seamless and for Maria, who gave us great help on anything needed. We also had Maria's Mom make dinner for us one night and it was delicious and memorable. we would love to come back.”

A hidden treasure

Masseria San Michelle has been beautifully renovated and was a pleasure to stay in. Perfectly located half way between Bari and Lecce to enable us to explore the historic towns and relax at the numerous beach clubs. Highly recommended. ”
