Masseria Savelletri

This villa is located in Fasano, the heart of Puglia on the “heel” of Italy. Dating from the fifteenth century, the property is a lasting example of the many masserie, or farms, that once dotted the region. Set on eight hectares of pastoral land and featuring accommodations for ten and an attentive staff, this property is an idyllic setting for a family reunion, intimate destination wedding or simply a relaxed holiday exploring the nearby towns, countryside and coast.

The grounds at this historic luxury property include an impressive L-shaped swimming pool, parasols and plenty of padded sun loungers. Serve refreshments from the outdoor bar, or try out local specialties in the comfort of one of the al-fresco dining areas. Inside, you’ll find an espresso machine for good mornings and a wine fridge and roulette table for even better evenings, as well as a TV and Wi-Fi. For your comfort and convenience, your stay at the masseria includes the services of a butler, housekeeper and nighttime security guard.

The strong lines of the villa’s stone walls and arched doorways set the tone for its palatial interiors, filled with one-of-a-kind antiques and paintings in an elegant traditional style. The interior design presents furniture collections from the 30s and 40s for charming retro decors, with a sofa signed by Jansen, appliques created by Miguel Angelo, plaster sculptures by Rabarama and bronze sculptures by the Belgian artist, Dirk de Keyzer. The collection is completed by screens, lamps, sommier and textiles by Rubelli and Donghia, Grifoni – Firenze headboards, and indoor and outdoor linen by Frette. To set off classic pieces like the portraits and landscapes in gilded frames, however, the villa also has more modern furnishings, from a playful cherry-red sofa and armchairs to clean-lined dining chairs. The fully equipped minimalist kitchen is beautifully integrated into the original building, with super sleek cabinetry built into the textured stone walls.

The five bedroom suites, each with a double bed, en-suite bathroom, and private entrance can accommodate up to eleven guests. Along with the villa’s staff, air conditioning in the bedrooms ensures your comfort on the warmest summer nights, and large windows and doors opening to a terrace and the surrounding olive groves let in both fresh air and plenty of Italian sunshine. On the ground floor, three bedrooms have direct access to the outdoor garden and swimming pool. The two bedrooms on the first floor have private terraces with view towards the sea and 8 hectares of olive trees as far as the eye can see.

Whether you’re visiting with family or for a romantic occasion such as a honeymoon or anniversary, Puglia has plenty to offer, from ancient Roman roads to a thriving local cuisine. The villa itself is just a short drive (or a ride on the property’s bikes) from the Coccaro Beach Club and the San Domenico Golf Course. The nearby town of Savelletri is the perfect spot to try fresh-caught seafood at an oceanfront café, and you’ll find more dining and shopping in the enchanting streets of Fasano and incredibly photogenic whitewashed buildings in Ostuni.
