Nearest sandy beaches: 8Km Amenities BBQWalking distance to villageWine cellar Property details Once a cluster of humble dwellings, the masseria has been meticulously restored to blend contemporary luxury with authentic Apulian charm. Every stone and arch has been preserved with reverence, creating a sanctuary where history, design, and well-being coexist in perfect harmony. At its heart lies the grand central hall — once the village thoroughfare, now a luminous open space that bridges past and present. The living area features a restored original fireplace, a cozy lounge, and a dining table for twelve. The open-plan kitchen, anchored by a monumental island in local stone, is ideal for long, convivial meals and lively conversations. A private movie room with a large screen completes this inviting communal space, perfect for intimate evenings in. Throughout the property, every detail tells a story: centuries-old doors, hand-carved stone sinks, woven straw chandeliers, and handcrafted ironwork — all locally sourced and restored to honor the building’s soul. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto the backyard and pool area, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor serenity. The house offers four independent suites, each with a private bathroom, uniting natural textures, artisanal furnishings, and modern comforts. A fifth double room can also serve as an elegant study or workspace. The master bathroom is a masterpiece — centered around a majestic 900-kg stone bathtub sculpted by local artisans, embodying intimacy and timeless beauty. As the sun sets, the indoor/outdoor bar — with its softly lit *cantinette* and cocktail counter — transforms into a haven for unhurried conversations and toasts with exquisite Apulian wines. Outdoors, life unfolds to the rhythm of La Dolce Vita beneath stone pergolas and among fruit trees, a natural-stone pool with a gentle waterfall invites lingering summer afternoons. The outdoor kitchen and dining pergola set the stage for long dinners under the stars, surrounded by candlelight and the scent of citrus. Upstairs, a panoramic 350-square-meter terrace opens to boundless skies — a private retreat for yoga, meditation, or open-air massages. An elegant pergola shades a plush lounge area, ideal for sunset cocktails or stargazing. A secluded solarium with an outdoor shower completes this haven of relaxation and privacy. Every corner of Masseria Fontana has been curated with meticulous attention to detail — where natural materials, handcrafted furnishings, and understated luxury come together to create a truly soulful atmosphere.
