The 38-room property sits 40 kilometers from Brindisi airport and offers three wet-weather venues (a 420-square-meter greenhouse, stone-vaulted indoor room, and covered gazebo) so rain won't derail your ceremony or reception.
An on-site chapel and civil licensing make legal formalities straightforward.
As a wedding photographer, what I love most about Masseria San Giovanni is its calm and elegant atmosphere. The iconic white buildings, beautiful architectural details and peaceful surroundings make it feel incredibly special. Perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and unforgettable summer evenings. A wonderful venue for couples looking for an authentic and stylish wedding in Puglia. 😊
