Our Story
Discover history, tranquility and the luxury of simplicity at Masseria Calderisi.
The Masseria & Farm
On the edge of the lively beach life, our 17th-century traditional farmhouse has been revived as a charming boutique hotel, surrounded by 24 acres of olive groves, citrus and almond trees, herb gardens and vegetable beds. Once a stately country estate, the spirit of that time can still be felt – cheerful, exuberant and proud.
The Olive Grove
Our centuries-old olive trees extend over 24 acres, almost to the coast. Enjoy a barefoot morning under our trees – inhale, exhale, smile – and sample our own organic olive oil made from the Masseria harvests. Our ancient underground olive press reminds us that oil has been made from the very same trees here on the farm for hundreds of years.
The Vegetable Gardens
Our chef, Pietro, sources many of his ingredients directly from the Masseria garden. Tomatoes, artichokes, pepperoncino, melons and zucchini, as well as basil, rosemary and sage, all thrive here under the Apulian sun. In the heart of the farm is our jewel of nature – the lime garden. Explore the small paths surrounded by centuries-old walls, read a book in the shade of these ancient citrus trees and forget time for a moment...
