Rising proudly from the whispering olive groves that surround it, Masseria Mangiamuso is a fortified farmstead dating back to the 17th century. Once the beating heart of a busy agricultural estate, today it is an oasis of Puglian tranquillity, with carefully conserved original features, an abundance of space, contemporary comforts on tap, and a gorgeous pool - all just a couple of kilometres from stunning Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea.

The Area

Masseria Mangiamuso rises on an olive carpeted coastal plain midway between the gorgeous white, hill-top town of Ostuni and the small Adriatic resort of Villanova, with its beach, seafront restaurants and shops. The rolling Puglian hills of the nearby Valle d'Itria are home to several picturesque towns and villages, including Cisternino, Locorotondo and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello - trulli central! All, including Ostuni, have regular markets, as well as a great selection of bars, trattoria and restaurants. Other wonderful towns within an easy drive include the Baroque centre of Lecce and the lovely coastal towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare.

The Valle d’Itria boasts its own “wine road”, running between the towns of Locorotondo and Martina Franca. The former, which perches atop its very own hill, is yet another of those picture-perfect towns that the Valle d’Itria excels in. After spending a little time exploring its achingly beautiful streets and admiring the wonderful views, we recommend you head down to one of the terraced vineyards below to taste Locorotondo’s renowned white wine, arguably the best in Puglia. We know the best places, so just say the word and we’ll organise a tour anda tasting for you.

When in Puglia you are rarely far from the sea and it is no coincidence that the region's inhabitants are great seafarers. Yachting and pleasure-boating are popular pastimes, as are most watersports. Indeed, it is the sea, its beaches and its translucent waters that make Puglia such a popular holiday destination not only for Italians but also for a growing number of overseas visitors.

An illustration of a guest book

First-class experience from start to finish. The Thinking Traveller team was outstanding. We knew it would be great, but the Masseria Mangiamuso exceeded our expectations, which we were thrilled about because we were hosting 15 people who had travelled a long way to be with us. It is beautifully renovated, decorated and maintained. Extremely comfortable for all with plenty of room to get away for a quiet moment. The house staff was warm and helpful.

Anonymous May 2023

We have no complaints about Masseria Mangiamuso. The villa and staff were all delightful, and our concierge responsive and super helpful.
