Handsome and charismatic, Casina Cinquepozzi rises above its extensive grounds with noble elegance. From the impressive dimensions of the symmetrical façade and the grandeur of the external staircase, it’s clear that this 18th-century home was not just a working Masseria but also a grand manor house designed to welcome distinguished guests in inimitable style. Thanks to the present owners’ unerring eye for detail, their passion for art and design, and their joyful sense of élan, this tradition continues today.

The Area

Casina Cinquepozzi is located just a couple of kilometres outside the beautiful town of Putignano in the north of the Valle d'Itria.

Perhaps most famous for its amazing carnevale celebrations, Putignano boasts a gorgeous old centre that's packed with fine buildings, piazzas, labyrinthine streets, restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, and it's a great place to spend time in.

Just 10 minutes' drive northeast, meanwhile, is Castellana Grotte, whose remarkable cave complex comprises over 3km of subterranean paths, cathedral-high chambers, stalactites and much more, all running about 60m below ground.

A short drive east will take you to the Adriatic coast and the gorgeous towns of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. Both have lovely old town centres and the former is particularly famous for its beach, carved out from the surrounding cliffs. Monopoli has a thriving street market and some fine historical buildings.

The coastline south of Monopoli offers a seemingly endless choice of little beaches, many of which have chic lidos with loungers, umbrellas, bars and restaurants.

Heading south, the gentle hills of the Valle d'Itria wrap around the magical towns of Alberobello (a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its wonderful trulli-laden centre), Locorotondo, Cisternino, Martina Franca, and, further south, the white city of Ostuni. All offer plenty to see, regular markets, as well as a good selection of bars, shops, and restaurants.

World class sites a little further afield include the stunning baroque centre of Lecce, and, in the neighbouring region of Basilicata, the ancient, highly evocative town of Matera.

For golf enthusiasts, meanwhile, Casina Cinquepozzi is only 30km from an 18-hole golf course in Savelletri.

An illustration of a guest book

Casina Cinquepozzi is an exclusive-use 18th century Manor House set on an extensive 40-acre estate in the heart of Putignano, Puglia. Neapolitan and Nigerian owners, Thelma West - a renowned jewelry designer and Stefano Liotta discovered Casina Cinquepozzi and instantly fell head over heels in love and began their quest to bring this forgotten home back to life. Seduced by country life and a passion for sustainability, the two-year restoration project has been passionately led by the couple to restore the soulful and historic property with meticulous care, stone by stone. The ten-bedroom manor house is spread across three floors and features expansive living spaces to sleep up to 24 guests. With 55 rooms in total, Casina Cinquepozzi is highly unique among Puglia’s traditional Masserias, with each space designed to surprise, reflecting a rich sense of beauty and individuality. Inspired and deeply connected to Nigerian and Neapolitan culture, Stefano and Thelma are committed to celebrating art, culture and gastronomy and have created an Artist’s Residence dedicated to collaborative cultural projects for Chefs and Artisans to stay and create. The expansive estate will also feature an outdoor swimming pool, Pilates space and former pigsty that has been eccentrically restored into a wine cellar.

Luxury Travel Magazine December 2024

There’s a new spot sure to make the A-list, aristos and artists alike enter an oasis-like state when travelling down to the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’ (Puglia). Introducing Casina Cinquepozzi, a 300-year old farmhouse and villa nestled in the rolling fields of Putignano, now revived, refreshed and regaled in seismic splendour - which opens for bookings this week. It’s heritage, horticulture and haute couture accoutrements combined. And there’s little wonder why - the power couple behind the sprawling home’s phoenix-like rise from the ashes is none other than London-based jewellery designer Thelma West and her former Apple-heavyweight beau, Stefano Liotta.
