Description
Nestled in lush countryside close to the Adriatic coast and the much-loved town of Polignano a Mare you will find Masseria Barattiere. This luxurious six-bedroom home in vast gardens is the perfect place to stay for a holiday you will never forget.
From the outside, Masseria Barattiere looks like a beautifully maintained historic home and yet when you open the door and head inside you will find yourself in contemporary, boutique-style surroundings. The owners of this house have done a fantastic job of retaining the old charm of the home by caring for the exteriors and keeping charming details such as exposed brick walls inside. Otherwise, the villa has been utterly transformed into an exclusive place to stay with an open-plan living space and kitchen which is the heart of the home.
The 6 light and airy bedrooms are all en-suite and are spread over 2 floors. 2 of these rooms are suites with additional sofa beds, 1 suite has its own small kitchen, while the other has a unique stone bath which is a great spot for unwinding with a glass of local wine. To enjoy staggering views of the surrounding rolling hills, go out on to the roof terraces on the first floor!
Just 6km away from the villa is the town Polignano a Mare which is a picturesque seaside town. The most photographed spot on the whole of the Bari coast, Cala Porto beach, is right here! This pebble beach is tucked between rugged cliffs which draw the eye towards the sparkling sea, the beach also has Blue Flag status and is ideal for families. On top of incredible beaches, Polignano a Mare is a brilliant town to have so close to the villa as you can find everything you need here, including historic buildings, museums, galleries, caves and a wide selection of shops and restaurants.
Another place to visit is nearby Monopoli which is 14km away from the villa and is less of a tourist spot than Polignano a Mare but should not be overlooked. This thriving port town was settled by the ancient Greeks and has had a long history of invasion and settlement ever since, leaving it with a fascinating mix of architecture. Make sure to visit the 16th century Castello Carlo V as well as the gorgeous Cattedrale Maria Santissima della Madia, which is one of Italy’s oldest cathedrals. Monopoli also has some fabulous beaches and places to eat.
If you wish to travel a little further out for a day trip, then why not visit the Trulli town of Alberobello which is 24km away or the amazing Grotte di Castellana cave systems which are just 12km away from the villa! /n Security deposit /n €1000 charged to client's credit card as a pre-authorisation at least 2 weeks prior to arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Security deposit /n Rates are for 10 guests, any additional person up to 16 has an extra fee.
