About Hotel Masseria San Marco
Hotel Masseria San Marco stands apart by preserving 18th-century Apulian architecture while offering modern wedding infrastructure, rare in Bitonto.
This ancient farmstead-turned-luxury hotel maintains original stone walls and courtyards that serve as authentic backdrops, eliminating the need for heavy decoration.

Excellent choice for a stay so close to Bari. Magnificent “magical” large setting, tranquil amongst a variety of trees as well as elegant. Rooms have a private outdoor setting which added to the spaciousness.
