A place where the soul breathes
Welcome, dear friends
After a life lived in the north, about 15 years ago I fell back in love with my land. The magical red earth of the hill of Monopoli, intertwined with the green of the centuries-old olive trees, the dark gray of the dry stone walls and the blinding white of the stones of the Masserie and Trulli, scattered everywhere in the countryside.
The blue of the sky, always clear and terse, which is mirrored in a sea of changing colors: from aqua green, to emerald, to deep blue and azure. I wanted to return to see the places of my childhood heart with adult eyes.
During a walk, I felt I stopped in front of an abandoned farmhouse: I had an electrocution. I had to restore it, give it back its ancient splendor. Not only for me, but to un-veil the ancient beauty of the simple building of my Apulian ancestors. That place was calling to me.
I wished to revive the breath of the "Genius Loci" it contained, with all its enveloping energy, and to be able to share the magic of that place with all sensitive people.
Thus was born the Masseria-Trulli Genius Loci Dimore.
The rural setting, away from the urban bustle, provides a peaceful experience
Nature on the farm
The masseria is immersed in nature: the plants and flowers in the garden fill the eyes with colors, each season gives its different fruits and shades. The park, of about 8,000 square meters, is available for those who wish to take a walk among the olive trees or relax in the coolness of the holm oak grove. The surrounding countryside with its expanse of centuries-old olive groves gives precious quiet and maximum privacy. At the same time the sea is only 8 km away, going down the scenic road in a few minutes you reach beautiful beaches and sandy coves set in the rocks.
Before and after
The restoration and conservative restoration of the old farmhouse was personally and lovingly attended to in every detail. Each dwelling, with its own well-defined identity, is united with the others in a harmonious whole. The rooms combine the solidity of tradition with contemporary comforts and technology.
The beauty around
This is a multifaceted land. Villages to visit, caves, white towns, Unesco World Heritage sites, local traditions, crystal clear sea to dive into and beaches to be kissed by the sun. The hills and the countryside are the living history of the Monopoli area, the ancient village the heart of the maritime civilization that still dialogues with the sea. A curiosity: Monopoli has more than a hundred contrade, scattered throughout its vast territory that stretches as far as Alberobello upstream and as far as Polignano a Mare on the coast.
