For sale accommodation facility, countryside Francavilla Fontana Puglia

Wrapped in the ancestral silence of the Apulian countryside, this historic 18th-century masseria reveals itself as one of the most fascinating examples of fortified rural architecture. A timeless property that enshrines more than 2700 square meters of interior spaces and spreads over a private estate of about 19 hectares, planted with arable crops and enriched by a vast centuries-old olive grove that celebrates the area´s agricultural tradition. An imposing arched entrance introduces the large central courtyard, dominated by the manor house, compact and noble in its defensive-inspired square shape. All around, trulli and ancient agricultural structures narrate centuries of rural life, while the presence of stone bridges and ancient wells testify to the constructive ingenuity and efficiency of the original settlement. The roots of the masseria date back before 1727; over the centuries, the property was the scene of episodes related to post-unification banditry, chapters that enhance its historical and cultural value. The interiors preserve the architectural authenticity of the mansion: wide cross vaults punctuate the rooms of the main body, while the splendid reception hall welcomes guests under extraordinary stonacious star vaults. Here, a majestic stone fireplace becomes the scenic heart of the residence. In addition to the event hall, the property has trulli and large spaces dedicated to overnight guests, perfectly integrated into the complex and ideal for charming hospitality. The masseria is already set up to be managed as a high-level accommodation facility, thanks to the presence of dedicated reception areas and professional services designed for guests´ comfort.

Further added value is provided by the basement level, an atmospheric space dedicated to wellness and personal care, ideal for creating an exclusive fitness area, a gymnasium or rooms intended for relaxation. The presence of a modern air conditioning and ventilation system ensures comfort in every season, discreetly integrating into the historic structure. Outside, a scenic swimming pool opens onto a paved and fully equipped area, enhanced by an elegant bar corner, perfect for exclusive events or moments of authentic relaxation. Making the property even more extraordinary is the private church, a small architectural jewel that adds spiritual depth and old-world charm to the complex. Completing the estate are historic stone fences, trulli and ancient rural artifacts, all protected by mighty dry stone walls that guard its intimacy and rarefied atmosphere.
