Masseria Monte Piccinnu is a recently restored Puglian farmhouse located in the serene countryside of Italy’s heel. Surrounded by olive groves just outside of Ceglie Messapica which is a picturesque historic town, this is the perfect place for your Italian break. 

Sleeping up to fourteen people, Masseria Monte Piccinnu would be ideal for a special holiday with family or a group of friends. This beautiful home has been newly renovated and offers all the modern amenities you could need, alongside traditional architecture and simple, elegant design. The light and airy living area is a great space for spending time together while the five double bedrooms offer a place to retreat and enjoy some peace. Two of the en-suite bedrooms are in the main house but there are two more which are in lovingly restored stable buildings accessed from the garden. One more of the rooms is even situated in a rustic stone trullo, which is a type of house unique to this area. 

You are likely to want to spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the sun and the garden here is an oasis in which to unwind. Outdoors you will find a number of al-fresco dining spots, comfy outside furniture, a hot tub and also an incredible swimming pool which is cleaned naturally by plants and is part of the owner’s eco-friendly design for the house and grounds.

The home is in a rural setting but is not isolated and there are shops and restaurants within easy reach. The nearest supermarket and the charming ancient town of Ceglie Messapica are under a 5-minute drive away. The town, first settled by the Greeks in 700 BC, is one of the oldest in Italy. Here you will find plenty of pre-historic and medieval ruins and buildings to visit as well as shops, cafés and restaurants dotted around piazzas leading off from pretty cobbled streets. Make sure to look out for the Ducal Castle in the old quarter which houses an art museum and library. 

If you would like to explore more of Puglia, there is lots to see nearby. One town worth visiting is Ostuni, which is a twenty-minute drive away from the house. It is a charming white washed town which leads up the hillside to an amazing Gothic cathedral. The views from the town are breath-taking and it is a wonderful place to enjoy local delicacies or a coffee in some of the family-owned cafés. 

Heading out from the hills, if you wish to visit a beach then the house is just 30-minutes from the coast where you will find some of Puglia’s prettiest beaches.
