The Masseria in Puglia are small jewels immersed in the countryside and surrounded by land, olive groves and vineyards. By now some are no longer in use but many have been renovated by private individuals to form small oases of well-being and relaxation in the warm peace of the Apulian sun.

The farms are fortified rural buildings with eighteenth-century towers and fantastic circular dovecotes. The Masseria was born for the need, on the part of the massacre or the manager of the land and the property, to protect the property and the workers who managed it from attacks by marauders. Inside the farm there were not only the farmer's home but also that of all his collaborators.
