Masseria Auraterrae in Polignano a Mare, open June–October.
Masseria Auraterrae transforms a working farmstead in Polignano a Mare into a full-service wedding hotel, where guests arrive to 20 rooms and 2 suites tucked into the Puglian countryside and stay through celebration without leaving the property.
The venue handles all food and beverage in-house, manages its own event spaces—including a 70-person indoor backup area—and offers couples control over most vendor choices while maintaining operational seamlessness.
Positioned 49km from Bari airport, the location sits close enough for convenient arrivals yet far enough into the region to feel removed.
We stayed almost a week at this beautiful masseria and wished we could have stayed longer. The room was gorgeous, with a large private terrace and sun all day long. The whole property and especially the two pool areas and gardens were stunning. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our whole stay. We also loved the breakfast and beautiful restaurant and surely will come back as our dog also had a lovely time there.
