BioMasseria Santa Lucia

About

Masseria Santa Lucia is an ancient farm, a part of which dates back to the 15th century when the rooms were used as stables, farm storage space and for tobacco processing. A skilful restoration supervised by the owners, Luciana and Danilo, has converted this suggestive building steeped in tradition into guest accommodation. In addition, the six hectares of adjacent farmland have been turned into a park and organic farm. In the farmhouse's kitchen vegetables, cereals, olive oil and fruit, are transformed into culinary delights for the guests' breakfast. The farm is located at the furthest edge of the Salento peninsula, a few kilometres from a marvellous seacoast and the panoramic Capo di Leuca, in an area covered with centuries-old olive groves, ancient dry stone walls and characteristic rural buildings. The walled-fortified farmhouse is formed by a spacious open court where in good season it is possible to have breakfast, by a tall tower in which the owners' home is located with a small reception office, by two small rooms used as breakfast and dinner rooms and by a large reading room with tall star vaults (typical in this region). Two double rooms (All with private bathroom and air-conditioning system) are close to the court and have a fresh green lawn in front, while other four double rooms and the suite double room are located in the back of the court facing a smelly herbs garden. The rooms are covered by a pergola and have an external relax area with deckchairs and little tables.
