two ELEGANT COUNTRY HOUSES, INTIMATE HOMES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN maquis OF SALENTO
Masseria del gigante – Salento
Nestled in the heart of the Salento region, in the southern part of Puglia — the famous “heel of the Italian boot” — Masseria del Gigante is a refined villa available for rent, perfect for an authentic holiday in southern Italy. This former masseria, a traditional rural farmhouse, has been fully restored to offer comfort, serenity, and elegance.
Surrounded by 10 hectares of organic farmland and centuries-old olive groves, the Masseria combines the charm of historic estates with the conveniences of modern living. It has been thoughtfully designed to welcome families and groups of friends seeking to disconnect and recharge in a preserved natural setting.
Masseria del Gigante features five en-suite bedrooms, each beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean style. The generous indoor and outdoor living areas are ideal for both relaxation and shared moments. Whether you’re planning a sunny summer retreat or a cozy winter getaway by the fireplace, every season reveals a new facet of Salento’s charm.
Ideally located just a few kilometers from the most beautiful beaches and cliffs of Salento, the Masseria offers privileged access to the treasures of the Italian Adriatic coast: crystal-clear waters, picturesque villages, vibrant local markets, and sun-drenched cuisine. Thanks to its mild climate year-round, the region is just as inviting in the off-season as it is in summer.

Masseria Torre Ruggeri – Salento
With its five spacious bedrooms, including a stunning suite with a private lounge, Masseria Torre Ruggeri is the perfect retreat for a holiday with family or friends in the south of Italy. This character-filled property, located in Puglia, offers a setting that is both inspiring and welcoming.
Set within a historic masseria, this artist’s residence is a bold fusion of architectural heritage and contemporary expression. Carefully restored and passionately decorated by Stéphanie Fenestraz, the home has been imagined as a true artistic manifesto. Each room is a distinctive space, a visual narrative where noble materials and eclectic influences come together in perfect harmony.
The play of light and subtle color contrasts—from soft, muted tones to vibrant accents—gives each corner a strong identity and a unique atmosphere, at once mysterious and luminous. Here, aesthetic sensibility meets emotion, in a universe where every detail holds meaning.
Outdoors, summer days can be enjoyed by the swimming pool with jacuzzi, or beneath the shade of a spacious vine-covered terrace, perfect for cooling off and sharing convivial moments under the Mediterranean sun.
