01 · In a sentence

Masseria Brusca in Nardò, open MayAugust.

Masseria Brusca sits on rolling countryside in Salento's Portoselvaggio area, where centuries-old stone structures command views across olive groves and Mediterranean scrubland.

This working estate in the Nardò region preserves the agricultural heritage of Puglia while offering manicured gardens and historic architecture as your backdrop.

The venue combines rural authenticity with cultivated spaces—terraces, courtyards, and vine-covered structures create multiple event zones across the property.

Great regional restaurant. Serving local dishes and wines! Very very good.
