MASSERIA CASOTTI - The historical masserie of Salento are the most vivid representation of the ancient society of this land, the expression of its peasant class, but also of the nobility, which towards the end of the Middle Ages left the city to settle in the countryside, in order to better direct the source of their wealth. Thus, beautiful testimonies of that distant world have come down to our days: we are talking about “MASSERIA CASOTTI,“ a noble rural building from the early 19th century consisting of two main buildings and a third one, unfortunately, collapsed over the years but easily identifiable.
The first building, about 220 square meters, consists of 10 rooms enriched by majestic star and barrel vaults, arches and arches and a convenient staircase that allows access to the upper terraces with panoramic views over the entire property, the second building, however, about 100 square meters, consists of three large rooms with vaulted ceilings and, finally, the collapsed building boasted a square footage of about 350 square meters restorable.
The entire masseria is immersed in 7 hectares of Salento countryside, rich in Mediterranean scrub and largely embellished with lush olive trees in full production.
The structure was the site in ´74 of an agricultural-tourist production complex, and in 2003 a museum-tourist project with hotel residence and attached services had already been presented in the archaeological area of ancient Rudiae.
