Architectural traditions framed in green
White-washed and handsome, Masseria Ciasca is a lovingly restored home that gives generously and welcomes warmly. Step inside and you'll be taken back to a world of charm and character, albeit with very 21st-century comforts: head outside and you'll be filled with a sense of freedom, courtesy of the 7.5 acres of private gardens, orchards and woodland that extend around the property to create a haven of peace and tranquillity.

Masseria Ciasca is just 8km inland from the historic and beautiful town of Polignano a Mare, famous for its cliff-hanging old town centre and its gorgeous beach, and for being the birthplace of the singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno (Volare, etc).
A few miles down the coast, meanwhile, is the lovely seaside town of Monopoli, which is home to a vibrant street market, a maze of streets, a 16th-century castle and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. There are plenty of beaches and swimming bays along the coast around both towns.
Also close by is Castellana Grotte, famous for its stunning cave complex, which comprises over 3km of subterranean paths, cathedral-high caverns, stalactites and much more, all running about 60m below ground.
A short drive inland will take you to the gentle hills of the Valle d'Itria, where you might visit the beautiful towns of Alberobello (a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its wonderful trulli-laden centre), Cisternino and, further south, the white city of Ostuni. All offer plenty to see, regular markets, as well as a good selection of bars, shops, restaurants and trattorie. World class sites a little further afield include the stunning baroque centre of Lecce, while golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Masseria Ciasca is less than half an hour's drive from two golf courses near Savelletri to the southeast.
From the Guest Book
Masseria Ciasca is a real Puglian masseria that's been beautifully and respecfully renovated. The bedrooms are outstanding, and the beds are very good. The property is situated in a very private place so we could enjoy this holiday with our family almost undisturbed. We are very thankful for the great help, kindness and understanding of the housekeeper. She made us feel special and heard. Thank you all and till next time.

Masseria Ciasca is a perfect retreat with luxury from start to finish. It was like arriving from home to home. The set out of the villa was perfect, including the very stylish interiors. Having the pool was wonderful. Also the rooftop Jacuzzi was wonderful as was the rooftop, a great addition to the space.

Masseria Ciasca and its grounds and pool were beautiful and meticulously maintained. The interior of the villa was tasteful yet with personality. We were also very happy with the central location of the villa, which allowed for easy day trips to towns in Puglia and to Matera. The cook was excellent and a delightful person. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation! Thank you to The Thinking Traveller for organizing an amazing week for our extended family!
