In the heart of the Salento hinterland, just a few minutes from its most enchanting beaches, this typical Masseria dating back to 1629, completely renovated, offers an authentic and refined experience. The property extends over a covered surface area of 713 square metres, with a splendid 100-square-metre infinity pool, a 160-square-metre lodge and a fascinating 300-square-metre underground oil mill, as well as an additional rustic building.
The main structure, measuring 713 square metres, is developed in the typical L-shape around a large courtyard and is currently used as a high-level accommodation facility.
The whole is set in a Mediterranean garden of about 2,500 square metres, enriched by citrus fruits, prickly pears and colourful flowers.
The entrance hall welcomes guests into a spacious living area, with a living room, dining room, kitchen and two hallways, all with direct access to the outdoor courtyard. The main house is on one level and includes a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, a hallway and a hobby room.
The sleeping area houses six spacious double rooms, all with typical vaulted ceilings and ensuite bathrooms. Each room enjoys private outdoor spaces, with shaded areas and an outdoor breakfast area.
The 100-square-metre infinity pool represents a perfect balance between modernity and tradition, offering a relaxing corner with a splendid panoramic view of the estate.
The Masseria is completely water self-sufficient, thanks to an artesian well and a 100,000-litre cistern. Sustainability is ensured by a 13 kWh photovoltaic system with storage batteries, while an underground gas tank meets heating needs.
A short distance from the Masseria is a lovely, recently renovated lodge, perfect for private and comfortable stays. The complex includes two independent flats with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, as well as a studio apartment.
One of the most fascinating elements of the property is the underground oil mill of over 300 square metres, entirely dug into the friable rock.
This underground structure testifies to the historical importance of Presicce in the lampante oil trade in the 18th century. The mill maintains a constant temperature of 17°C, ideal for processing and preserving oil.
Above the underground oil mill is a 120 square metre building in a rustic state, characterised by suggestive star vaults, with the possibility of being converted into a guest house with living room, large porch and two rooms with private bathrooms.
The horse stables provide a perfect refuge for the Masseria's animals, while the surrounding forest lends itself to sensory trails and yoga activities in an unspoilt environment.
