Masseria Don Giulio – Historic Home in the Heart of Puglia Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Francavilla Fontana, Masseria Don Giulio is a historic home of great value, dating back to the early 17th century. Its strategic location allows you to reach Brindisi, Oria, Ceglie Messapica, and Grottaglie in just a few minutes.
The property takes its name from Don Giulio Palmieri, a local priest who promoted its construction. For over two centuries, the masseria served as an important religious retreat, initially used as a chapel and a place of welcome for nuns, and later for monks from Naples.
In 2013, the entire complex underwent a careful and respectful restoration, enhancing the historic soul of the farmhouse while harmoniously integrating it with modern comforts.
The main house is now a refined private residence. The ground floor comprises a large kitchen, a dining room, a convenient pantry, and a bathroom.
The upper floor houses the sleeping area, with a bedroom/study and three magnificent bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. The bright and private master suite opens onto a splendid terrace.
The old stables have been expertly transformed into five independent apartments, currently successfully used as tourist residences, guaranteeing an interesting income opportunity.
The property is surrounded by a wonderful, meticulously landscaped garden, complete with a splendid swimming pool with changing rooms, hot showers, and dedicated restrooms, creating a truly peaceful and relaxing haven. A 3,000-square-meter olive grove completes the property, adding further value and charm to the entire property.
Masseria Don Giulio is a true oasis far from the frenetic pace of everyday life, located in one of Italy’s most fascinating areas, famous for its history, culture, traditions, mild climate, culinary excellence, and great wines.

An ideal solution both as a prestigious residence and as a charming tourist investment.
The property is equipped with modern technological systems aimed at energy efficiency and living comfort.
There is a photovoltaic system, underfloor heating, and air conditioning in the oldest part of the building. The five studio apartments are served by a heat pump with cooling system. An artesian well with filtration and water softener ensures the water supply to the apartments. The property also includes a pop-up irrigation system serving the garden and an electric vehicle charging station.


A timeless place, where history, comfort, and authenticity meet.
