Masseria Le Monache Information

Masseria Le Monache is a hidden gem that beautifully combines history, nature, and luxury in the captivating landscapes of the Italian Puglia region. The attractive ancient trulli house dates back to 1450, when it was a former ancient convent, inhabited by nuns devoted to prayer. Today, this luxury masseria serves as an idyllic Apulian retreat for families or group of friends of up to 10 guests.

Masseria Le Monache is sure to take your breath away from the moment you arrive. The classic Puglian architecture of historical trulli provides both charm and intrigue. Walk up the paved driveway through arched vines to discover a traditional yet luxurious home. Inside, a country house kitchen and dining space is the heart of the home, where soulful food can be created for all to enjoy.

Outside, Masseria Le Monache spreads across 1,000m² of land, offering a decent plot for you to call your own and relax in comfort. Crossing the small courtyard, you'll find the villa's large terrace, where a swimming pool tempts you to cool off. Long summer days can be spent here in the gardens, with a gazebo offering a perfect shady cover for alfresco meals. The masseria features an authentic pizza oven and an outdoor barbecue, ideal for those memorable summer gatherings. Comfortable lounge seating or pool loungers also provides an alternative spot to enjoy and unwind. Nestled amongst stunning botanical gardens and olive groves, it's a perfect place to relax.

As well as a second smaller outdoor patio in a semi-open trullo, there's another walled terrace with a quaint dining space. However, possibly the most unique feature of the property is the original prayer chapel, still retaining its identity for guests to appreciate the history of the villa.

Masseria Le Monache can accomodate up 10 guests across five bedrooms, each located in its own trullo building, offering a haven of comfort and authenticity. Featuring en-suite bathrooms and meticulously curated decor, the rooms are designed to provide a seamless blend of historical charm and modern luxury.
