Overview
If you are searching for a home which can accommodate a large family group or a group of friends, but does not compromise on space and style, Masseria Cesamine is the perfect house for you. This modern, elegant home has been constructed using traditional techniques and design elements, while offering contemporary facilities and high-end furnishings.
The villa has recently undergone an extensive renovation and extension under the guidance of a renowned architect, so you can be assured that you will be staying in a gorgeous home with all new fixtures and fittings. As you move from room to room, you will notice the serene, neutral colour palette which works beautifully as a backdrop for the exposed stone work, luxury floor tiles and sumptuous furniture. All around the home, large windows and French doors lead out on to the leafy garden and allow the natural light to flood in.
The home is all set on one level which is well-suited to those travelling with elderly relatives or with young children. The living spaces wind around in to each other to create a social hub where your group can get together for drinks in the evening.
The first room you come to is the living room with high, vaulted ceilings, comfy sofas, a flatscreen TV and garden access. Next is the formal dining space where you can tuck in to breakfast together which is provided for you by the villa’s chef. When you need to prepare your other meals and snacks, the well-equipped kitchen is just a few paces away and has all of the appliances and gadgets you will need.
There are five bedrooms available at the home and a total of eleven guests can be accommodated here including a baby. Four of the bedrooms are located within the main villa, while a fifth bedroom is located a stone’s throw away in the grounds. All of the bedrooms are bright and airy and have access to an en-suite bathroom or a shared family bathroom.
Outside, the villa benefits from an incredible garden and private grounds which span two hectares. The walled garden contains a vast covered terrace where you can shelter from the sun on the outdoor sofas or fire up the barbecue and wood burning oven to cook up a feast to enjoy outdoors. There is also a private swimming pool, children’s play equipment and hammocks for unwinding in the sun, all surrounded by native planting and lawns.
If you can bring yourself to leave the oasis-like garden, the nearest village for you to discover is just 2km away. Within driving distance of the home, you can find natural attractions such as beaches, lakes and walking trails as well as a great range of villages and towns. While staying here, you are even able to spend the day visiting the bustling city of Lecce which is 30km away.

Location
About the surrounding area of Masseria CesamineMasseria Cesamine is ideally located for getting to know many sides of Puglia. Close to the home, guests are able to head out in to the countryside, visit tiny villages, explore larger towns and spend leisurely days at the beach. This is a truly picturesque area which has something for everyone.
The home sits within expansive private grounds which overlook a patchwork of fields and historic olive groves. From here you can stroll out in to the surrounding countryside where you can make the most of local walking and cycling routes, take scenic horse rides or even play a round of golf at Acaya Golf Club which is 23km away. There is plenty to see and do within this idyllic rural landscape.
In addition to Puglia’s interior, you are well-placed for taking trips to the beaches, the closest of which is Spiaggia di San Giorgio, set just 12km away. The much-loved Baia dei Turchi is also easy to access at 15km away. This beautiful beach is sheltered by towering, limestone cliffs and the calm sea is a perfect swimming spot. If you would like to enjoy dinner with a sea view, the bay here is filled with restaurants and bars. Another popular beach is Alimini Beach which is 12km away and uniquely backs on to a picturesque lake, sand dunes and dense woodlands, offering lots of opportunities for lazy days in the sun as well as nature walks.
Although the villa is nestled within the countryside, you will not be isolated and can reach amenities with ease in the nearest village as it is just 2km away. As you wander around the small village you will come across a number of shrines, monuments and churches, due to the village being a stop on the pilgrim trail the Via Francigena. The historic village is a handy place to have nearby as you will find a range of eateries, shops and a supermarket. If you would like to head out for pizza in the pretty streets, the village is a great place to stop off.
You can find even more shops and restaurants 5km away in Martano which is a town steeped in history. This fascinating town was once a Greek settlement and to this day, some of the older people in the area speak in a Greek influenced dialect. Though this town is very close to the home, it has a completely different feel to other towns and villages nearby and is well worth a visit. The town is not a tourist centre, but you can see ancient churches and a castle called Palazzo Baronale.
15km away from the home, the lively port town of Otranto is a fantastic place for a day trip. Packed with historic sites and attractions, you will have lots to discover as you stroll around the atmospheric streets. The 11th century cathedral and the staggering 15th century castle are some of the highlights, plus on the coast you can find Torre Matta tower as well as a historic lighthouse, both of which offer incredible views. You will be able to spend a full day in Otranto as there are cafes, restaurants, craft shops and beaches here as well as the historic buildings.
If you would like to visit Lecce which is known as the most attractive city in Puglia, you are able to drive there in half an hour as the city is just 30km away. A guided tour is a brilliant way to see the city, before browsing the antique markets and great range of museums and galleries.
