Masseria Elysium Nature Resort e Ristorante in Mesagne, open June–October.
Built as a traditional Puglian masseria in the 17th century, this fortified farmhouse operated as an agricultural estate for over 300 years before undergoing comprehensive restoration to become a luxury hospitality venue.
The property retains its original stone architecture and rural character while now offering modern wedding facilities across its 15-hectare grounds in Mesagne, Brindisi.
Today it functions as both a boutique hotel and Michelin-recognized restaurant, honoring its heritage while serving contemporary celebrations.
After many years of travelling to the Brindisi/Mesagne area for family trips and staying in progressively more expensive and poor serviced accommodations, we found an incredible oasis to stay at Elysium. The team working were all incredibly kind, multi-lingual, welcoming and helpful. The room was new, clean, prepared with necessary needs and well cooled in the hot June weather. The pool was a respite we’ve been looking for and even though this trip was only 36 hours, it was the perfect place for all our future visits. We travelled with our 1.5 year old too and they had menus, dining chairs, crib set up and bedding and anything we may need for him as well.
