Masseria Antoglia Ulivo Suite Deluxe Villa Castelli, Brindisi, Puglia, Italy

Masseria Antoglia is a fortified masseria on a vast agricultural property whose origins date back to the early 14th century.

The history of the masseria begins with the construction of the Antoglietta fortress tower, built by the Nantoli family in the Middle Ages.

It was later renovated and used as a fortification, with the construction of a crenellated tower, by Prince Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo in the 15th century and protected by high court walls.

Ownership passed to Giacomo dell'Antoglietta, baron of Monteiasi, hence the name Antuglia.

The new wing of the tower, which had always been used as a dwelling, was built in the late 19th century.

The large shed, built in the 1700s, was used for storing straw and keeping hay and agricultural machinery.

In the first half of the 18th century, the oil mill was added to the original structure, which later became a dwelling, and the stables and neviera were added, while the farmers' houses were built in the early 19th century.
The castle/masseria was later renovated and used as a ducal palace. In 1822, a chapel was built, dedicated to the Holy Crucifix, which in 1830 was elevated to the status of parish church and consecrated by the bishop of Oria.

Masseria Antoglia extends over a frontage of about 170 metres and consists of several buildings. In the central part stands the Ducal Castle with its crenellated tower, in which most of our rooms are located, along with the large shed and the millstone, which was used for crushing grapes until the early 1900s.

In total, the facility offers 9 rooms and suites tastefully furnished in keeping with the history and tradition of the masseria.

Immersed in history, the Ulivo Suite is located in the oldest part of the masseria, where the granaries originally stood.

One enters through the ancient drawbridge, skilfully restored, and enters into a lofty 45 m2 accommodation.
The living room houses the sitting room, while on top of the mezzanine, an antique wrought-iron king-size bed with silver-coloured trim welcomes you in its warm and comfortable ‘embrace’.

The bathroom, entirely clad in Trani stone mosaics, houses a large shower cubicle and an inviting hydromassage tub.

Pertaining to the suite you will find a marvellous terrace, equipped to offer you moments of romantic and intimate relaxation with a view over the citrus gardens and the secular olive groves.
