Authentic refinement, an ancient masseria between the sea and the countryside.
A raw Salento diamond, Masseria Macchiaforte is an ancient manor house halfway between the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean maquis that surrounds one of the most popular areas of Apulia, Gallipoli.
This historic masseria with an intriguing past is characterised by its spacious terraces, designed to give each guest a spectacular view of the green shades of the Salento countryside. Let your gaze wander beyond the dry-stone walls to the centuries-old olive trees and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a rustic dwelling that celebrates the authenticity of the land that has welcomed it for centuries.
From the majestic entrance portal, indulge in the discovery of the masseria’s symbolic and mysterious elements, recently redeveloped to create a ground-floor atrium with a meditative atmosphere, inviting the guest to placid introspection. On the side facing the sea, the Mediterranean terrace retains its architectural character and offers a unique view that culminates in the hues of a crystal-clear sea. On the side facing the countryside, the senses can rediscover the ecstasy of scents and colours emanating from the Mediterranean scrubland all around.
The interior expression reproduces a happy marriage between the rusticity and roughness of stone, wicker and natural materials and a linear elegance, reinterpreting the aura of an old farmhouse in a key that enriches it with a contemporary hint.
