Masseria Oliveta
Eight rooms around a stone courtyard, a pool dug into the old cistern, and breakfast of ricotta warm from the morning's milking.
Ostuni
From €210 / night
Masserie — Folio 01
Farmhouses kept the way the land kept them.
Whitewashed courtyards, limestone walls a metre thick, and dinners under a pergola of old vine. Our masserie are working farms first — you simply get to live inside the harvest for a few days.

What a stay here actually includes
- The table
- Dinner from the farm's own garden, oil from last year's press, wine from a neighbour's vineyard.
- The days
- Orecchiette with nonna Rosa, grove walks at dusk, bicycles for the lane down to the sea.
- The season
- April to October. Harvest weeks in late October are the ones people write home about.
