Francavilla Fontana · 整套出租单元 · 9室14床8.0卫 · 可住16人 · Masseria Giulio - Large Stable Complex Sleeps 20
This is a fantastic opportunity to rent the entire stable block of a historic Puglian farmhouse suitable for up to 20 adults and 4 young children. The accommodation is split across 5 self-contained apartments (each with open-plan living & kitchen area) - allowing groups to holiday together whilst still retaining some privacy. Details of the extra measures we have introduced to help protect our guests are listed below. Masseria Giulio is listed as a regionally important building dating from the early seventeenth century. It started life as a chapel serving the local farm workers before being used as a convent and then a monastery. During the eighteenth century it was converted into a masseria (walled farmhouse). It remained a working farm producing olives, olive oil, vegetables and fresh milk, cheese and meat from the animals (cows, sheep, goats and pigs) homed in the stable block until the late 1980s when it fell into disrepair. We have completed a full restoration of the property using local artisan builders and craftsmen and have converted the old stables and farm buildings into holiday apartments. We have five self-contained apartments (1 one bedroom and 4 two bedrooms) which have their own well equipped kitchen, inside dining and living areas and outside patio areas. The apartments have been designed to provide stylish, high quality accommodation with designer furnishings to allow you to relax, unwind and enjoy this fabulous corner of Italy. Links to each of the individual apartments are provided from this page. The farmhouse garden (approx. 600 square metres) is surrounded by a high dry stone wall and has been fully landscaped with an array of beautiful plants including roses, birds of paradise, wisteria, bouganvillia and cacti. We have an orchard containing apricot, lemon, orange, nectarine, pomegranate, plum, cherry, kiwi, mulberry, pear, apple, fig and cedra trees. We also grow a wide variety of our own organic vegetables. Guests are welcome to use our produce during their stay. Adjoining the masseria and garden we also have a small olive grove featuring around 35 olive trees. These produce two types of olives; one primarily for eating (please note that they need to be prepared and are not suitable for eating fresh from the tree!); the other type is used for making oil. We make approximately 30 litres of organic extra virgin olive oil from our crop harvested in the late autumn.
We had a great time at the Villa. Beautiful rooms, well equipped with kitchen and other apartment accessories. Ian and Lucy were great from the personal reception availibility and answering all our questions. The place is close to a really nice town for anything we wanted and beautiful beaches, and we had a great time just enjoying pool, walking around the place, eating as many figs as possible. We left feeling another visit is mandatory
We booked the whole place for a family birthday with people coming at different times. Ian and Lucy were so accommodating right from the start ( my sons plane was late he didn’t arrive until the early hours ). Ian and Lucy helped us book hire cars, a meal delivered to the accommodation, a wine tour along with recommendations to bakers, butchers etc. Supplied a birthday cake! All amazing. Perfect host. I would not hesitate to recommend. Would be a perfect place for a wedding.
Incredible stay hosted by Ian & his family. Yes the pool is that big. 3 BBQs. Table tenis, you name it it's there. Ian and the folks were easy to communicate with and extremely serviable. Will come again
Ottimo weekend, servizio impeccabile e posto incantevole. Abbiamo trascorso un weekend tra amiche per un addio al nubilato in questa bellissima e accogliente masseria. Ian e sua moglie sono carinissimi, disponibili e attenti attenti al cliente. Ci hanno aiutate a rendere perfetto questo momento indimenticabile accompagnandoci nell’organizzazione e nella preparazione. La masseria è proprio un gioiello, curata in tutti i suoi spazi. Grazie ancora Ian per l’accoglienza, la qualità del servizio e il supporto nell’organizzazione di questo speciale weekend! A presto!
The property is ideally located almost mid-way between the Ionian and Adriatic seas so there are a host of beautiful beaches nearby (including the beach that The Telegraph rated as the best in Italy). This means that we can chose which coast we visit based on the wind direction and whether we want to swim, body board, look for crabs in rock pools or just relax on a sandy beach. Similarly we are central to the main tourist sites with the Itria Valley lying to the north, Taranto and Matera to the west, Lecce and Gallipoli to the south and Brindisi to the east. This means that you can see far more of this region within an hour's drive than if you were staying in one of these areas. The masseria is in a beautifully tranquil location and provides a real escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. All you can see in any direction are olive groves stretching to a horizon dotted with beautiful medieval towns. We are also close to some of Puglia's best wine areas and vineyards and so are spoilt for choice when it comes to our favourite tipple! Our guest information pack includes details of all our favourite places, day trips, activities, restaurants, ice cream shops, vineyards and markets.
A car is recommended for staying at the masseria. However, for large groups we can organise an airport shuttle service and / or transport to local sites, restaurants, etc if required.
自我介绍
We moved to Puglia early in 2015 having spent many happy holidays in Italy over the years. We have always loved coming to Italy and enjoying the fantastic climate, delicious food and wine and culture. However, when we first visited Puglia in 2010 we knew that this was the region for us. Three years later we bought a ruin in the countryside and spent the next 2 years restoring it to its former glory. We now live here full-time - the kids attend the local school and are learning Italian (and some of the local dialect) - and love it. The locals are incredibly friendly and can rarely do enough to help. We hope that we will be able to give you a real glimpse into the heart of this fantastic region.
