Masseria Antoglia Quercia Suite Terrace 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 was elevated to the status of parish church and consecrated by the bishop of Oria in 1830.

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, together 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.

The Suite Terrace Quercia with its refined and particular furnishings will let you experience the authentic pleasure of the ancient fortified Masseria.

It is on two separate levels with a mezzanine of 45 square metres. In the living area adjacent to the entrance there is an ancient and functioning stone fireplace that will give you moments of warm welcome on winter nights.

On the loft, you will find yourself in front of a majestic antique wrought-iron bed from the end of the 19th century that has been skilfully restored, and you will be enveloped by the elegant wooden roof of the farm's old granaries.

The bathroom, entirely covered in Trani stone mosaics, has a double sink and a very large shower cubicle.

The Quercia Suite also has an exclusive outdoor whirlpool bath, located on the private terrace, set up to enjoy romantic lunches and dinners, in the company of unique landscapes, soft lighting and glasses of fine Primitivo wines from our selections.
