Immersed in the enchanting Salento countryside, Masseria La Maestà is a historic residence dating back to 1511, recently restored to preserve the charm of the local architectural tradition. The masseria extends over ten hectares of land, rich in olive groves, vineyards, and a lush three-hectare garden featuring about 300 fruit trees, some of which are of rare origin. This authentic corner of paradise is located just a few minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Gallipoli and Lido Conchiglie, creating an atmosphere of tranquility that contrasts with the vibrancy of the coastal resorts.
Inside, the apartments are furnished with period furniture belonging to past generations, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can choose from various options, such as the Suite "Il Palmento," with its charming star vaults, and the Grand Suite "Torre delle Monache," equipped with historic fireplaces and a private terrace overlooking the sea. Each accommodation offers spacious and comfortable areas, complete with fully equipped kitchens, ensuring an independent and relaxing stay.
The masseria pays particular attention to authenticity and sustainability. Guests are invited to pick fruits and vegetables directly from the gardens and can enjoy local products, including high-quality DOP extra virgin olive oil and the renowned DOC Alezio rosé, both produced on-site. Breakfasts and dinners, prepared with fresh and genuine ingredients, can be enjoyed outdoors, surrounded by the natural beauty that envelops the masseria.
Passionately managed by the owners, Masseria La Maestà is an ideal retreat for families and couples seeking an authentic experience, where the silence of the countryside merges with the opportunity to explore the wonders of Salento. The area is easily accessible and allows visitors to discover historical cities such as Lecce, Nardò, and Otranto, making each stay a journey rich in history and beauty in an unparalleled natural setting.
