Nestled in the countryside near Lecce, just 45 minutes from Brindisi Airport, Masseria La Pietra is a 16th-century estate rich in character and history. Originally built by Jesuit monks, the villa features a rare underground olive oil mill and an 18th-century colonnade, testaments to its enduring architectural and spiritual heritage. Surrounded by 10,000 square meters of olive groves, the estate ensures absolute privacy and silence, offering guests an authentic and peaceful Apulian retreat.
The Masseria is arranged around a central courtyard, accessed via a historic, rutted path once worn by horse-drawn carts. The outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and convivial gatherings, with a 17x5-meter pool which can be heated on request, a stone bar, a barbecue area, a brick pizza oven, and several furnished terraces. A small private chapel and ancient olive mills add charm and cultural depth, while ample parking and security service provide comfort and convenience. The villa also offers a babysitting service at an additional cost.
Spread across three elegant buildings, the estate offers 10 bedrooms, including 9 doubles and 1 suite with a separate living area, accommodating up to 20 guests plus two additional children, making it ideal for large gatherings or events. All rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, and some feature hidden kitchenettes. The main building includes a large living room, dining area for 18, a bar, a billiard room, a vaulted wine cellar, and TV lounge. Guests can also enjoy a spa, gym, and high-end amenities like smart TVs, fireplaces, and a fully equipped professional kitchen.
