Rural Reception
Masseria Caretti Grande has undergone a detailed and extensive restoration process, including thorough research into its historical documentation, resulting in the original structure being restored. The renovated property now boasts spacious and well-lit rooms perfect for hosting visitors and providing guests with a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The accommodations have been converted from the old stables and other areas used by farmers and breeders and are situated around the inner courtyard where livestock was kept at night.
All rooms with independent entrances and kitchenettes have been renovated thanks to a careful intervention aimed at converting use in compliance with the changes made in past eras, and they preserve inside traces of the original function. The sturdy and practical furniture from the Salento tradition blends seamlessly with modern furniture and vintage pieces for a harmonious atmosphere that creates a relaxing and healthy comfort in indoor spaces.
The “manor house” at the top has preserved its original spacious and bright interiors, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and ancient olive trees and fragrant citrus groves.
You can reach the farm’s highest point from the suite on the dovecot tower’s upper floor. This location provides a clear view of the fortified farms’ purpose during the fifteenth to nineteenth century; from here, guests can enjoy a 360 ° picture of the surrounding territory, including the farms communicating with each other and the sea. These farms were a potential defence system against the bloody invasions of past eras.
