Masseria Antica is a 9-bedroom estate set within 26 hectares of olive groves in the Puglian countryside, near the hilltop town of Ostuni. The property comprises an antique masseria and a contemporary villa, connected by an underground passageway. The estate accommodates up to 18 guests across the 2 buildings. Brindisi Airport is around 50 minutes by car.
The estate sits in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, within easy reach of some of the most rewarding towns in Puglia. Cisternino, with its whitewashed lanes and fornelli trattorias serving roasted meats straight from the wood-fired oven, is around 7 minutes by car; Locorotondo and Martina Franca — each with a well-preserved historic centre and a distinctly local character — are both within around 20 minutes. Ostuni, the White City, its cathedral and maze of pale stone streets perched high above the surrounding plain, is around 25 minutes, and Alberobello's UNESCO-listed trulli landscape around 30 minutes. The Adriatic coast is around 30 minutes away, where long sandy beaches backed by protected dunes alternate with rocky coves and the clear waters of the Torre Guaceto marine reserve.
The main villa features high-vaulted ceilings and large arched windows throughout. On the ground floor, a living room with TV opens through French windows onto the garden, with a kitchenette offering direct outdoor access. A hallway passage leads to the professional kitchen equipped with a wine cellar and a formal dining room, which in turn opens onto a covered terrace with additional round tables shaded by sail canopies. The first floor of this building contains a living room opening onto a private terrace, and a fully equipped kitchen with cooking island. The contemporary building includes a small living room with fireplace, a TV room, and 2 study rooms — one on the lower ground floor and one on the first floor — both with desks and views over the pool. A piano is available in the main living areas. The heated indoor pool occupies the lower ground floor of the contemporary building, accompanied by a Turkish bath. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and mosquito nets are provided throughout the property.
The 4-hectare garden surrounds the buildings, planted with olive trees and offering multiple terraces for alfresco dining. A swimming pool is accompanied by a pool house with covered dining area, barbecue, pizza oven, American fridge, dishwasher, outdoor shower, and guest bathroom. A professional tennis court — with equipment provided — can be converted into a 5-a-side football field. Table tennis and table football are available for guests of all ages. Parking is provided for up to 4 cars within the electric-gated grounds. A separate staff area is located on the lower ground floor of the contemporary building, with its own bathroom and shower.
