カロヴィーニョ近郊、塔を備えた12世紀の要塞化マッセリア

In the heart of Apulia at its most authentic, in a sea-facing position, just 14 km from Brindisi and close to Carovigno, opposite the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, stands this extraordinary 12th-century fortified masseria, a rare example of Apulian defensive architecture transformed into a noble residence. With over 2,400 sqm of interiors distributed across the main building, annex and Renaissance tower, the property is enveloped by over 50 hectares of land embracing private gardens, olive groves, vineyards, orchards and centuries-old woodland. Its millennial history, privileged position between crystal-clear sea and whitewashed villages, and the elegance of its interiors make this masseria a unique opportunity for those seeking authenticity, luxury and privacy.

The main building presents a captivatingly rustic white-stone façade, dominated by the crenellated tower and framed by majestic cypresses. The arched entrance leads into the stone-paved inner courtyard, surrounded by white walls adorned with climbing plants, round arches and windows that bring depth and light. The courtyard includes an elegant entrance hall and a small deconsecrated church with a bell gable, a small portal with moulded jambs and a lintel with triglyph decoration, currently being restored. The interiors comprise 14 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, arranged across bright rooms furnished in a classic, eclectic style. The main living room houses a rich collection of artworks and centres around a decorated fireplace, while one of the most evocative rooms is defined by a bespoke dark-wood staircase flanked by an integrated reading area. The walls are embellished with coats of arms and plaques recounting centuries of noble ownership, while the floral-patterned floors add refinement.

The outdoor areas extend over more than 50 hectares, with the possibility of adding a further 50 hectares to the land owned, offering numerous ways to enjoy Apulia's natural landscape: 6 hectares of manicured garden surround the masseria, while a 3,000 sqm centuries-old olive grove and 10 hectares of woodland complete the setting.

The tower rooftop offers breathtaking sea views and 360-degree panoramas across the surrounding countryside, while the private orchard and liveable outdoor spaces invite moments of relaxation immersed in tranquillity. The independent annex provides further residential or hospitality possibilities.
