Masseria Bonelli operates on a working farm model, meaning your guests experience an active agricultural estate rather than a manicured resort—a practical advantage if you want authentic Puglian atmosphere without the pretense. This 16th-century fortified farmhouse in Noci accommodates groups of 20–150 across stone buildings and grounds that span several hectares. The venue handles both ceremonies and receptions in-house, eliminating coordination headaches between multiple locations.
