Completely renovated in April 2022, this hidden gem—nestled among millennia-old olive trees and citrus groves and dating back to the 15th century—will welcome you with its rich history and treasures, including a centuries-old church and an underground oil mill, which appears to have been in operation at least between the 13th and 16th centuries.

Once the beating heart of a bustling agricultural estate, today it is an oasis of tranquility, with carefully preserved original features. This hidden gem, nestled in the Apulian countryside among millennia-old olive trees and citrus groves and dating back to the 15th century, will welcome you with its rich history and treasures, such as the centuries-old church and an underground oil mill, which appears to have been in operation at least from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries.
The oil mill, dating roughly to the 10th and 11th centuries, is located inside caves carved into the soft tuff typical of the area, which appear to have served a different purpose in the past.

The style is contemporary yet traditional, featuring solid wood elements, salvaged lamps, and custom and designer pieces that subtly enhance the overall look.

OUTDOORS
The highlight of Masseria Mammella’s outdoor areas is the citrus groves. It is here, sheltered by high walls, that al fresco living is enjoyed to the fullest. The outdoor areas offer a variety of well-furnished spaces for sitting and dining.
Equipped gazebos among the lemon trees, an emerald lawn by the pool, and al fresco dining areas—everything is specifically designed to offer you relaxation and tranquility.
It is wonderful at any time of day but arguably at its most magical in the evening, when the sun sets and it’s time for long, convivial dinners under the stars, surrounded by the intoxicating scents of the Mediterranean.
