Farm stays and masserie in the Taranto area: stays immersed in the countryside and olive groves, among local produce, relaxation and rural tradition.
History
For those seeking peace, nature and authentic flavours, the farm stays and masserie of the Taranto countryside are the perfect choice. Set among centuries-old olive groves, vineyards and open fields, these properties offer a stay steeped in Puglia's rural tradition.
What to see
The masseria is the rural soul of Puglia: ancient fortified farmsteads, today often converted into charming accommodation, preserving the appeal of stone and open spaces. Many lie inland and towards the Itria Valley, among trulli and dry-stone walls.
Their strength is the bond with the land: many farm stays produce and serve their own products — oil, wine, cheeses, vegetables — at the table. They often have a pool, green spaces and activities such as tastings and farm tours.
They're ideal for families, couples and anyone wanting to combine countryside relaxation with exploring the territory.
