01 · In a sentence

Masseria Paretano in Monopoli, open JuneOctober.

Guests arrive at a centuries-old masseria in the Puglia countryside, where whitewashed stone walls and olive groves create an immediate sense of arrival in another time.

The property hosts ceremonies in its open courtyard and receptions in restored farm buildings, with accommodations on-site allowing your wedding party to wake together the next morning.

This working estate near Monopoli transforms agricultural heritage into an intimate, multi-day celebration.

Fantastic hideaway in the Italian countryside. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, and you can’t beat the views poolside. We were a little late arriving and the staff were kind enough to allow us an extra hour to stay and enjoy the property. Thank you! They also have a cute dog who wanders around the property!
