Masseria Fracchicchi is located in Galatina, immersed in a bucolic landscape that is a genuine homage to the rural Salento tradition. Surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and an ancient pine forest, the masseria spans 15 hectares of agricultural land, where native varieties of olives are cultivated for the production of high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil. The structure, dating back to the 17th century, has been skillfully restored to preserve its original architectural essence, offering visitors a stay characterized by comfort and tranquility.
The strategic location of the masseria allows for the exploration of the wonders of Salento, situated a few kilometers from the beautiful beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, and within a short distance from the renowned historic center of Galatina, famous for the Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and for the traditional pastry that gave rise to the famous pasticciotto. Walks in the surrounding area offer a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the calm and silence of the countryside, discovering the characteristic dry stone walls and local wildlife.
In the morning, guests can enjoy a rich and varied breakfast in the historic tobacco room, enriched with sweet specialties strictly prepared with quality ingredients. Among pasticciotti, fruttoni, and homemade jams, one can indulge in the delights of the Salento tradition, with attention to satisfy particular needs such as gluten-free requests, at no extra cost.
The rooms and dependencies, furnished tastefully and with selected materials like Lecce stone, offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for those seeking both comfort and an authentic connection with nature.
