01 · In a sentence

Tenuta Monacelli - Lecce in Lecce.

Tenuta Monacelli stands apart in Lecce for its working agricultural estate model—guests celebrate surrounded by active vineyards and olive groves rather than manicured resort grounds.

This Salento masseria combines on-site wine production with accommodation, allowing wedding parties to experience the region's terroir authentically.

The venue operates as both hotel and event space, meaning your group can stay, dine, and celebrate entirely within a single historic property.

Such a magical place in the heart of Salento!! Peaceful, beautiful and full of wonderful experiences. From the Vineyards to the Bee Sanctuary. Tenuta Monacelli was a lovely visit which left me with the desire to return!!
