The Masseria (dating from the 1870s) is set in open countryside, yet less than a five minutes drive from the sea (and a selection of sandy beaches) and ten minutes from Monopoli (daily market, pretty medieval quarter, fishing boats, baroque cathedral, restaurants and shops).The main house is not currently in use but there are four apartments surrounding the original courtyard, each with its own private outdoor space and a wealth of original features. One of the apartments is let to an Italian family who are not usually there during the week except in high season and one belongs to the owners. There are two other apartments which can be taken together if desired (the larger apartment has a table which seats 8). This is an ideal choice for families wanting to relax in total peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. The fields immediately surrounding the Masseria are under cultivation and off limits but the surrounding roads are quiet and ideal for walking and bicycling
