Masseria San Michele is much more than just a place to stay – it’s the result of a story shaped by passion, transformation, and a deep love for Puglia.
Masseria San Michele is the result of the passion and vision of Lorenzo Antonacci, originally from Puglia. After several years spent in the fashion world between Milan, Bologna, and Shanghai, the call of his homeland pushed him to return and transform the family home – an 18th-century masseria – into a boutique hotel that blends tradition and modernity.
The restoration of the masseria was an ambitious project that required years of work and dedication. Every detail was carefully attended to in order to preserve the authenticity of the structure, using local materials and traditional techniques. The result is a masseria that retains the charm of 18th-century residences while offering contemporary comfort and services.
Today, Masseria San Michele is an exclusive retreat immersed in the tranquility of the Valle d’Itria countryside, where guests can relax, discover the most authentic Puglia, and experience the magic of the rural landscape. It is located in a strategic position between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. In addition to becoming a venue for exclusive weddings, it is also a chosen location for photo shoots.
At Masseria San Michele, hospitality is an art born from the balance between nature and authenticity, tradition and comfort. Every corner of the masseria reflects the love for the territory and the desire to offer a unique sensory experience.
Masseria San Michele is more than just a place to stay; it is an experience that involves all the senses. The scent of the earth, the sound of the wind among the olive trees, the warm colors of the sunset, and the genuine flavors of the local cuisine intertwine to create an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Every detail is designed to make guests feel at home, in a familiar and welcoming environment. The stay of our guests must become an unforgettable experience. We believe that it is the emotions and adventures lived that make a journey truly special.
For this reason, we offer the possibility to discover Puglia in an authentic way: e-bike rentals, bike tours, horseback riding, boat excursions, cooking and pottery classes, and much more. Every activity is designed to immerse our guests in the beauty of the Valle d’Itria and create unique memories.
