In the Itria Valley, between the Mediterranean maquis and the village of Martina Franca stands Masseria Nicola Casavola. Positioned on the south-eastern hills of the Murgia, at 400 meters above sea level, the town of Martina Franca dominates the surrounding territories. Its fascinating style comes from a century-old history and its center is built in a particular baroque style, so unique that it has received its own name. Discover the warmth of Apulian hospitality and experience the slow sweet living that has made the region famous throughout the world. The masseria we present to you, one of the oldest in the area, is ten kilometers from the baroque buildings of Martina Franca. This traditional Apulian construction, historically related to the cultivation of land and animal breeding, was built in the mid-1700s at the behest of the wealthy livestock trader Nicola Casavola. Subsequently expanded and recently restored, it is now equipped with all modern comforts while maintaining its traditional charm which will make you feel like a true Apulian sharecropper. The large garden of the estate is bordered by the traditional stones and decorated with a refined simplicity that enhances the large spaces and the uniqueness of the environments. A short distance away, fields of olive trees dominate the area, plants with a primitive charm and reign of the famous Martina Franca donkey. By taking part in the olive harvest or walks on the backs of these animals, you will be able to completely immerse yourself in the identity of this region. The masseria, where the warm white of the lime dominates, has been furnished with various relaxation corners and has a perfectly functioning brick oven. Here you can prepare, or have prepared, traditional dishes of the local cuisine. Its shape and the presence of a small church make this farm the perfect location to host special events such as weddings or ceremonies, fully respecting the privacy and family warmth of the ancient Apulian farms. The main body of the property is on two levels with classic white walls and vaulted ceilings. On the ground floor there is the living area with open kitchen, living room and service bathroom. The floor is completed by a spacious suite with a bright double bedroom, bathroom with shower and private living room with two sofa beds, perfect for accommodating children.
