Immersed in the picturesque Salento countryside, just 2 minutes from Lecce and along the ancient road that led to Acaya, lies this charming Masseria, an example of the architectural transition between the “Tower-Masseria” and the “Masseria a corte chiusa” (closed court farm) of the late 17th century.
The structure retains the typical architectural features of the ancient farmhouses in Salento: the through andron that serves as a link between the inner courtyard and the various functional rooms such as stables, barns, and lodgings, and a staircase leading to the second floor, traditionally intended for the owner's dwelling. The exterior fence is embellished with numerous graffitied crosses, revealing the historical importance of this place as a crossing point along an ancient road axis.
Ideal for the creation of green spaces dedicated to relaxation and tourism. Only 70 meters from the property there is an underground oil mill, a unique historical testimony that enriches its cultural value.
This Masseria offers an extraordinary opportunity for those who wish to undertake an exclusive receptive project, thanks to the possibility of accessing incentives such as PIA Tourism and MiniPia, fully enhancing the charm and tradition of the area.

Amid Baroque cathedrals, masserias, castles and towers on the unspoiled sea, Apulia is an ancient land, traversed by centuries of history and art that have left unmistakable marks. This is where Lecce is located, in the deepest and most rural South, marked by slow rhythms, influenced by Magna Graecia and Byzantine rule, in the heart of Salento, full of enchanting villages and breathtaking landscapes.
Lecce, the “queen of baroque,” is a bewitching city, one of the most enchanting in southern Italy. Strolling through the alleys of the city of Lecce, everything is shrouded in dazzling light thanks to the blue of the endless sky and the golden color of the Pietra Leccese, which, because of its malleability, has made it possible to write the history of Baroque.
Here, where art is everywhere, among churches and aristocratic palaces that fascinate with unexpected settings, where the golden color of the stone soothes and leads into almost meditative paths, no one can leave Lecce without admiring Piazza Duomo at night. It just has to be done. You will understand why.
The lands around Lecce, then, are a corner of paradise where nature and history intertwine in an enchanting landscape. Centuries-old olive trees, dry stone walls and the masserie farms, which become silent protagonists of a timeless tale. Majestic and full of charm, many of them have been transformed into elegant charming residences, where the stay becomes a journey into the most authentic flavors and traditions. Every sunset tints the sky with colors that seem suspended in time, while life flows at a slow and relaxed pace, far from the chaos. Here, among the genuine flavors and serenity of the landscape, one finds the true essence of well-being.
A place that tells of history, culture, traditions linked to ancient customs and a simple and genuine cuisine with typical dishes to fall in love with.

Not far away, the evocative underground oil mill carved into the rock bears witness to a past linked to oil production, an activity that sustained the local economy for centuries.

A spacious loft of shaded glass occupies one-third of the large main room and can comfortably accommodate a double bedroom or a sitting room.
Halfway between the loft floor and the second floor we find a small room with a window overlooking the rooftops of the village that once housed the bishop, a study, a 'walk in closet, a small bedroom with a bunk bed...the possibilities are endless.
Arriving at the top of the staircase, we come to a large room with high star ceilings that opens onto a beautiful floor terrace and a corner kitchen.
The light and atmosphere of this room make it particularly welcoming, and the opening onto the terrace makes the space ideal for outdoor dining.
A second outdoor bathroom and an additional roof terrace complete this delightful property.

Solar panels and/or solar thermal can be installed on the additional attic to allow a significant reduction in energy costs.

Toward the south, on the road that divides the lower Salento in half, just before reaching Capo di Leuca, we find Alessano, a town with origins that date back to the 15th century and is of great artistic and cultural value.
Several great dynasties have left very important historical marks, still walking in the streets of the Salento town, we can admire the Ducal Palace, Legari Palace, 17th-century Pyrrego Palace and the Renaissance San Giovanni Palace.  
Alessano, recognized as a "City of Art," not surprisingly in recent years has attracted many visitors and many have fallen in love with it and chosen it as their residence.
A very dynamic town, it is located between Tricase, Santa Maria di Leuca and Castro, centers with an effervescent energy where restaurants, cocktail bars, icecream parlors and top-notch stores are recognized as the best in the region.
In this area the jagged rocky coastline is full of caves and natural pools, sheer cliffs that invite us to admire magnificent views of an open sea.
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful areas of the Salento peninsula, but also of Puglia, capable of offering everything within a radius of a few kilometers.
At 100km from Brindisi International Airport, 45 minutes from Lecce, less than 30 minutes from Gallipoli, and a few kilometers from the sandy beaches with clear waters of the Ionian Sea, Alessano is the ideal location to discover and experience Salento.

Una città che racconta storia, cultura, tradizioni legate alle antiche usanze e una cucina semplice e genuina, con piatti tipici da far innamorare. A solo 30 minuti dall’aeroporto di Brindisi e pochi chilometri a sud della Valle d’Itria, Lecce si colloca quasi a metà strada fra il mar Adriatico e il Mar Ionio, raggiungibili in pochi minuti.
