About the home

Masseria Santoronzo is a beautiful and authentic “masseria” (a typical Pugliese farmhouse) surrounded by beautiful secular olive trees.

In the masseria there is a large three bedroom apartment accommodating up to 6 people. There are lovely hillside views from all the rooms and a covered balcony towards the hills on one side and another over the olive trees to the sea. Secluded and very private, yet only a five minutes drive from a choice of lovely beaches and ten minutes from the delightful historical sea side town of Monopoli.

The apartment has recently been restored and is now fully furnished with a variety of antique and superb furnishings. It sleeps up to six plus cots are available in one of the three bedrooms.

Accommodation details:

Large living room (with limestone flooring throughout), with covered furnished balcony with panoramic views, flat screen TV and DVD player
Dining room/kitchen with original fireplace fully equipped for self catering needs
First matrimonial bedroom leading off the main room, with vaulted ceilings and ensuite bathrooms with shower and dressing room
One twin bedroom
Bathroom with little tub/shower
Second matrimonial bedroom with beautiful view over the backside hills of Monopoli Santoronzo.


Within a five minute drive you can find a spectacular weekly food market, a number of restaurants and cafes, delis, butchers and bread makers. A great place to come and get away from life’s stress, this masseria is available all year round.

Take a walk in the olive grove, help yourself to an abundance of fresh vegetables and herbs from the outside kitchen garden and lemons from the trees. Finish off your day with drinks on the 360 degree panoramic roof terrace at one of the many beautiful sunsets.

The owner of Masseria Santoronzo produces award winning olive oil and during May and September they have an olive oil tasting and lessons for Puglia style cooking.

We suggest this property for those in search of a typical Puglia farmhouse experience.

The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia is a wonderful area to consider. It offers at least one excellent archaeological museum, a host of cathedrals dating back to the 10th century, Greek and Roman ruins, a gleaming necklace of lively fishing villages, one of Europe's largest forests, a chain of medieval hill towns, and some of the very cleanest beaches and water in the Mediterranean.

The Monopoli area

Monopoli is a very nice town on the sea, famous, apart for its beaches and clean waters, also for its baroque churches.
What to see:

- CATHEDRAL - it is one of the most attractive examples of Baroque in the entire Apulian region. Its imposing monumental front is flanked on the left by an elegant bell tower that has markedly projecting cornices separating its floors. Notable is the Byzantine icon portraying the Madonna della Madia - legend tells that the sacred image was washed up from the sea on a stack of trunks, that were then used for the building of the trussed roof - very well-preserved and of fine workmanship, it dates from 1280.

- SANTA MARIA DEGLI AMALFITANI - a Romanesque building erected at the beginning of the twelfth century on a pre-existing rock settlement.

- ABBEY OF SANTO STEFANO a fortified complex built in 1086, the remains of an old church survive in the inner courtyard, still inside there are the visible remains of the Roman settlement of Turris Paola, one of the landing places for nearby Egnazia.

- CASTLE bounded on three sides by the sea and protected on the fourth by a moat that no longer exists, it was used as a prison until the beginning of the twentieth century, the castle has been recently restored and today houses the Municipal Archaeological Museum on its first floor.

- PURGATORIO CHURCH with images of skeletons on its doors. Inside you will find familiar Baroque interior but on the adjusting chapel you will find mummies of some local citizens. If the church is closed then you can watch some of the mummies through the street window.

- PALAZZO PALMIERI central square of the Centro Storico.

- MADONNA DEL SOCCORSO CHURCH old grotto with frescoes was dug out of a natural cavity in the rock.

THE COUNTRY
It consists of 99 districts(“contrade”) characterized by the presence of ‘Masserie Fortificate’ of ancient Roman origin, Rupestrian Churches, neo-classic villas and houses.
The outstanding landscape consists of almond and olive trees, apart from fruit trees of all sort and vegetables cultivation.
