Masseria Fornace is one of the 100 masserie of Crispiano, nestled in an area rich in history and culture, along a route recognized among the European Excellence. A masseria with a clearly agricultural structure, unchanged over time, embraced by an enchanting and slightly hilly landscape, considered a true natural and cultural heritage, with rich vegetation and fauna.
The property is named after the "Fornace" locality where it was built, an area rich in kilns for firing bricks and tiles for building, an important and widespread activity in the past.
Masseria Fornace is a closed courtyard property, imposing, with well-arranged spaces, where the authenticity of these wonderful structures can still be felt. The architecture, the agricultural tools still largely present on the masseria, many details offer an authentic glimpse of the daily life that took place in the past, almost bringing back a past of rurality, work, and ancient flavors. Beyond the gate, you reach the main door which opens onto a large internal courtyard surrounded by a quadrilateral of rural environments that follow one another with large spaces, arches, with enclosure walls and dry stone walls beyond the land that embraces the building. Above the property runs a terrace all around from which you can enjoy an extraordinary panorama.
The property, with a large and well-maintained agricultural land, represents enormous potential both as a private residential destination and as a tourist destination, taking advantage of all the tax incentives that the Apulia Region offers.
Located in a quiet but easily accessible position, Masseria Fornace is well connected both to the center of Crispiano and to the main roads leading to Taranto and Martina Franca, and thus to the airports of Bari and Brindisi.
Immersed in the Apulian hinterland, Crispiano is located on a hilly position at the border between Taranto and the Itria Valley. The natural environment it is nestled in is one of the most characteristic of the Taranto hinterland: a landscape of ancient olive trees, dry stone walls, and deep canyons carved into the rock, where peace and silence reign.
Here, nature is the protagonist: the area is surrounded by woods, cultivated fields, and panoramic trails that wind through the ravines, offering breathtaking views and an atmosphere of total serenity. It is the ideal place for those seeking quiet, privacy, and an authentic connection with the environment, away from the noise and stress of the city. The Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot but breezy summers, makes every season of the year pleasant and adapts the area to different lifestyles.
In the surroundings, Crispiano's territory offers a variety of natural, cultural, and gastronomic attractions: from historic farmhouses, the famous 100 masserie of Crispiano, whose route is among the European Excellence, to excursions along the ravines, from local typical products to the small villages of the Itria Valley easily reachable by car. Well connected with the airports of Brindisi and Bari, an authentic area, still tied to its traditions, but welcoming and ready to be discovered.
