Masseria Cucuruzza, farmhouse with pool for vacations in Ugento, Lower Salento

Nestled in the green countryside of Salento, the masseria is surrounded by a large estate, ancient pergolas and modern outdoor relaxation areas where guests can spend carefree hours of quiet.

Three hectares of a colorful natural park surround the masseria where the swimming pool (12m x 9m) with heights accessible also to children accompanied by sunbeds and umbrellas for the solarium stands out. Many shaded areas create inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature.

The farm's rooms for rent with breakfast included

Masseria Cucuruzza is spread over two levels, featuring luxury furniture, handcrafted textiles, vaulted, barrel and corner ceilings of fine workmanship in ancient tuffs.

On the ground floor of the masseria are the common areas, a large and bright dining area with an adjoining professional kitchen. On the upper floor are all the bedrooms.

In addition, on the ground floor a reserved area houses an ancient little church of 18th-century origin. Fun fact: In the church's counter façade, at the top, there is a "matroneo" (gallery) from which the farm's nobles attended mass. In fact, one of the six rooms has a private passage leading to the church's women's gallery.

The history of the ancient masseria in the Ugento countryside.

Masseria Cucuruzza rose in the 16th century as a fortified guard post to defend inland populations from assaults from the coast, transforming over the years into an agricultural community.

After a long period of neglect, almost reduced to ruins in the late 1990s, it was recovered and restored by the current owners who have restored its ancient beauty and turned it into an exclusive accommodation facility.
