A masseria in Puglia is a traditional building of southern Italy where landowners and farmers once lived. Today, Masseria del Gigante is an elegant private villa with pool in Salento, located on the Adriatic coast, in the “heel” of the Italian “boot”.

Nestled in 10 hectares of organic lands with century-old olive groves, this villa offers a peaceful and authentic setting, ideal for families and groups of friends looking for a unique stay in Puglia.

With its 5 en-suite bedrooms, spacious interiors and relaxing atmosphere, the house invites you to slow down and fully enjoy the moment — whether reading, relaxing by the pool or discovering the landscapes of Salento.

The crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches and dramatic cliffs of Salento make this villa an ideal destination for summer holidays. Thanks to its mild climate, Puglia is also perfect for year-round stays.

In winter, the atmosphere becomes even more intimate: a fireplace, soft music and a glass of wine create a warm and unforgettable experience.

Throughout the house, there is a serene atmosphere. The indoor and outdoor blend harmoniously. The bright living room and the kitchen communicate in an open space that leads onto the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean maquis. This allows you not only to spend important moments in the company of your friends and family but also to take some time for yourself, without feeling isolated.

Lastly, Masseria del Gigante is perfect for every season. On warm days all you need to do is to open the doors to enjoy the summer breeze, while the large windows will allow you to enjoy the most natural light, even in the winter months. 

Masseria del Gigante was born out of a dream, and we would love to share it with you. 

Outdoor spaces – A masseria in the heart of Salento

Southern Italy country house

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. 

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

We designed our Italian Maison for you to enjoy the exterior spaces as much as possible. As an extension of the living room, the terrace will host your aperitifs, lunches, and dinners in front of the Mediterranean maquis. This living area is the perfect outdoor relaxing nook, where you can spend time together and have some moments for yourselves.

Terrace and outdoor living

The rural setting is the backdrop to the pool and enhances its delicate style. Surrounded by greenery, this stretch of water fits perfectly into the beautiful natural landscape. On the large table, you will enjoy your dishes made with fresh products from our garden, seasoned with our organic olive oil. The terrace offers a wonderful view, a spectacular show of colors and scents that becomes a real emotion.

You will find peace between the dry stone walls and the secular olive trees of the house. Whether under a tree shade or the waterfall jet of the shower in the Trullo, this house will make you enjoy summer. Likewise, a fireplace and a good glass of red wine will warm you up during the mild autumn and winter.

Testimonials

  • A little slice of paradise for a stay in southern Puglia

    We were two families traveling with children. The house is beautiful, with a wonderfully maintained garden and a lovely heated swimming pool, even in April. It is very kid-friendly, with games available such as water guns, balls, and a ping-pong table. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking and enjoying meals under the pergola. The sunsets are magnificent. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, and a safe is available for guests. The breakfasts are excellent, and essential condiments are thoughtfully provided. We highly recommend it without hesitation!

    Mrs Victoria M. – April 2026 – Masseria Del Gigante
  • We loved the house !

    Renovated with all modern comforts but kept the rustic charm. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay. The back garden with pool was a dream. Highly recommended to add the breakfast option. Ada the housekeeper prepared an extraordinary breakfast table for us daily! Would book again next time we are in Puglia.
