Luxury completely private Historic Masseria with Large Pool in Ceglie Messapica

Very nice restored Masseria. Lots of space. Clean.Different terraces. Great pool with entertainment possibilities. Plus visit to ancient grotto

An amazing house just outside the charming town of Ceglie Messapica. The house is very spacious and very well equipped, it swallowed six of us. The House information folder is very, very comprehensive and the recommendations are good. The pool is lovely with plenty of loungers and options for shade. The outside eating area is a delight and made for magical evenings when the weather permitted!! Inside is also a good eating area. Rooms are all very comfortable and well equipped. Maria, who manages the house, is a star. Great communicator and nothing was too much trouble, such a plus. Ceglie is a lovely town with good shops, very good restaurants and very nice for an evening stroll before and/or after dinner. Ceglie is an easy 5 minute drive from the house. We parked in a square on the way into town (Via Fratelli Bandiera?) from where the main Piazza is a five minute walk. We also had the benefit of 3 adorable kittens during our stay!!!

The reviews that I read were accurate. It’s beautiful and spacious and luxurious. We had everything we needed. A gourmets Kitchen and which even had a little Limoncello in the freezer. Nice bedrooms and luxurious showers. A beautiful pool area with an outdoor kitchen and your own cave. We had memorable evenings and days and Maria was super helpful in every way. Someone abandoned a sweet puppy on us and Maria was super awesome in helping us deal with that. Ian was very gracious as well. Maria found a home for the puppy within 2 days and was a lifesaver, literally. Awesome place. Just wish we could have stayed longer. In Italy for 3 weeks and this Masseria was by far the best place we stayed!

Maria, the property manager was exceptional. She even helped pay a parking ticket. Would like to have spent more time around the pool, but there was a lot to do in around the area. Would return any time.

It was our first time in Puglia and this property came just as advertised to make it a memorable trip for my family. The property was clean and well maintained and the pool was great. Maria the property manager was also fantastic and very helpful and accessible. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Thanks Ian!

The property, furnishings and pool more than delivered for my family and I (5 of us). All communication and assistance from Maria the property manager was truly excellent along with the owner’s incredibly useful, detailed and accurate notes about the local area. The pool is large and very well maintained. I could not recommend more strongly. Thank you so much.

The villa and its gardens/grounds were magnificent. We were two family’s with young children and there was so much to keep everyone entertained including a secret playground and a grotto! Would love to return.

We first booked in 2020 but were unable to make it out until June 2022. Ian the owner was so understanding and helpful before the trip and Maria is an angel…organising anything you need and a great font of knowledge and ideas about the area (as well as her mother being a fantastic cook, which we experienced at the house). A wonderful spot with every convenience in a beautifully furnished house with great facilities…what more could you ask for?

This is a fabulous and inspiring property with an abundance of space. The location is excellent and in perfect proximity to access all the best areas you would want to explore. The customer service and care from both the owner and the property manager was of the highest level.

My family had a wonderful week-long stay, and we could have stayed even longer! The owner, Ian, was super responsive ahead of our stay, and sent plenty of recommendations to us. And Maria, the property manager, made sure we had everything we needed for a great trip! We even did 2 amazing & delicious chef dinners at the house (highly recommend)! Our group was 6 adults and 2 infants, and we had plenty of space in the house, and the location was great for the many day trips we took around Puglia - we went to 8 different cities in 8 days - there's so much to see! The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook at home many of the nights we were there (but obviously preferred when we were able to have chefs come cook for us :) and the property surrounding the home is just beautiful. It was a little too cold for us to actually go into the pool while we were there, but we did enjoy spending time out by the pool and playing bocce ball while sipping on afternoon Aperol spritzes! Overall, we had a great time staying in this awesome, historic home, and we would love to come back again in the future!
