Masseria del Gigante is an ancient Southern Italy country house. It is nestled among the olive trees of the verdant land of Salento, known as “the heel of the Italian boot”. Its authentic and rural architecture blends with harmony and grace with the surrounding environment. 

The owners carried out the entire renovation work respecting the spirit and the traditions of the place. They also restored an ancient Romain road located at the entrance of the Masseria and classified as cultural patrimony. In collaboration with local professionals, only the native materials have been used like the Leccese stone, a particular limestone.  

Masseria del Gigante is a place that has everything to make you feel at home. Purity, simplicity, and peace are what keep the house together in harmony.

This Maison is a 300 sqm typical Southern Italian country house immersed among the olive groves of Apulia, near the wonderful beaches of the Adriatic coast. With its 5 en-suite bedrooms gracefully decorated and its wide spaces indoors and outdoors, it’s the ideal place for families and groups of friends who are seeking elegant rural simplicity.

The house has a slow living spirit and it will make you find a natural life rhythm. In the hottest days, a beautiful swimming pool and waterfall shower installed in an authentic Trullo – a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof – will refresh you while you will enjoy throughout the year the seasonal fruits and vegetables grown on its land and seasoned with its extra virgin olive oil.
