Masseria La Grave, Puglia

About Masseria La Grave

The historic Masseria La Grave is a beautiful property immersed in acres of olive groves, only 1,5 miles (2,5km) from the beautiful Adriatic coastline with its sandy beaches and picturesque coves.

Dating back to the 1700s, the Masseria has been lovingly restored by its delightful owners, who live in the west wing of the building. In the east wing, five attractive self-catering apartments have been created, using skilful stone masonry techniques to restore the original features of the Masseria.

Alongside the apartments is a large swimming pool, bordered on all sides by fragrant flowers, palms and eucalyptus trees. In this tranquil setting, guests can truly relax and soak up the area's Mediterranean beauty. The friendly owners are happy to provide guests with local produce from their estate, including prestigious wine and olive oil, and fresh fruits harvested daily from the orchards. The White City of Ostuni is only 5km distant, with its enchanting labyrinth of white-washed, meandering streets and a wide selection of delicious local cuisine and chic wine bars.
