The white Masseria in the walled gardens
White-washed, handsome, imposing, and historic, Masseria Donnagnora rises serenely from the sun-baked earth and silver-green olive groves surrounding it. The property's architectural heritage has been lovingly conserved, with story-telling original features at every turn, while the oasis-like enclosed formal gardens thrive with colour, fragrances and vivacity. Masseria Donnagnora was most recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and Condé Nast Traveller.

What stood out about Masseria Donnagnora was the beauty, the quality of restoration and the inspiring gardens. It is an outstanding place for a group of six friends - lots of space for gathering and also space for privacy and solitude. Fun kitchen and convivial long table for simple meals. Thank you and compliments to the owners - it was a pleasure to be in a place with good taste.
