Casina Cinquepozzi

My stay at Casina Cinquepozzi was exceptional. The house is incredible, such a beautiful design and I loved that all the bedrooms were different. The chef Olivero was just phenomenal, he's worked in many Michelin restaurants around the world and the meals were restaurant quality, better than anything I have ever experienced in a villa and most of the produce is grown on site. We all loved the lounge bar in the evening and the pool was great and a lovely breeze while we were there.

Casina Cinquepozzi is one of those rare places that stays with you long after you leave. The grounds are serene, dotted with olive trees and a sense of history that feels grounding and magical. Every detail of the house is thoughtfully curated, making you feel not just comfortable, but cared for. Waking up to the stillness of the countryside and ending the day under a canopy of stars was pure joy. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and truly savor life. Oh, and the chef's dishes were just unforgettable.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casina Cinquepozzi! From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had discovered a hidden gem - full of historical charm, mind-blowing interior design and every comfort you could wish for. Mornings lingered over long family breakfasts in the kitchen, while our children delighted in exploring the gardens. The highlight for us were the chef's incredible meals and our evening walks through the shaded garden, surrounded only by the sounds of nature. We’re already dreaming of our return.

TO August 2025

Our visit to Casina Cinquepozzi was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped into the property, we immediately felt a sense of calm and relaxation thanks to the wonderfully private and peaceful grounds. The interiors are truly unique, and the attention to detail second to none. We were thoroughly spoiled and pampered by the staff, and the delicious meals prepared by Oliviero were out of this world. We would return in a heartbeat!

Estate of Living - an 18th-century fortified masseria in Puglia has dropped its guard to become a grand domain of Nigerian art and contemporary Italian design... Inside, the spaces on the first floor - the piano nobile - are exquisite... The wallpaper, spanning from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries, is a flurry of floral flock patterns and the restored ceilings are decorated with delicate scroll, floral and lace motifs. Contemporary furniture, such as a Bubble sofa by Roche Bobois, bespoke mirrors by local, Peppino Campanella, and a glittering modern chandelier keep it all in the present... As a jewellery designer, co-owner Thelma West has an understanding of proportion and palette, and these rooms are jewel-like in their intensity... We're fed by Oliviero Ghiyassodin, a charming and knowledgeable chef who works for the family, and while we could have requested our own menu, who tells an Italian in Italy what to cook?... I leave knowing that Cinquepozzi is on the cusp of something epic and with a pang of envy for the guests who will lie by the pool, rosé in hand, listening to the rustle of the wheat.

In short…A seriously smart 18th-century manor house in and around the golden farmlands and trulli-topped fields of Puglia’s countryside. The vibe… The casina is meant to be lived in, loved and celebrated. Days are easygoing, starting with a romp through their olive groves and regenerative farmlands where cherry and fig trees ripen, a dip in the pool, a pilates session, or reading under the cedar trees. Meals can be cooked for you or by you – Puglian tomatoes, local cheese, aforementioned orecchiette… It’s an Italian home away from home, but a very nice one at that. The surroundings… Set away from too much noise, the 10-bed masseria is remote enough for privacy and independence, but not too far from some of Puglia’s prettiest spots for a swim or a boat ride. The rooms… Each is immensely beautiful, but different in its detail, respecting the objects Thelma and Stefano found when they first saw them.
