It was equipped with an oven, where the women of Copertino went to bake bread, a granary - located in today's breakfast room - and a trappeto a giorno, an olive oil mill that can still be admired today under the glass shrine in the room that takes its name. There were many caves, storerooms and cellars. ^During World War II, during the bombing that hit the small airport of Leverano, these rooms served as a refuge for the people of the small village.^Abandoned by its owners towards the end of the 1960s, the masseria remained unattended until 2007, the year in which six years of intense work began to restore splendour to the structure, which still retains its old-world charm: the original architecture with exposed stones, the ancient star and barrel ceilings, and the traditional furnishings.^This elegant Masseria has 5 rooms developed around the traditional courtyard, an open space typical of Salento masserias, ideal for spending a holiday immersed in close contact with the surrounding nature, amidst centuries-old olive trees, citrus groves and exotic plants. You can relax by the pool, take refuge in a cool, shady corner to browse through one of the books available in our library, or let yourself be pampered in our SPA.^During World War II, during the bombing that hit the small airport of Leverano, these rooms served as a refuge for the people of the small village.^Abandoned by the owners towards the end of the 1960s, the farmhouse remained unattended until 2007, the year in which six years of intense work began to restore splendour to the structure, which still retains its old-world charm: the original architecture with exposed stonework, the ancient star and barrel ceilings, and the traditional furnishings.^We have 5 rooms developed around the traditional courtyard, an open space typical of Salento farms, ideal for spending a holiday immersed in close contact with the surrounding nature, amidst centuries-old olive trees, citrus groves and exotic plants.
