Masseria Murgia Albanese is a historic residence set in the countryside of Noci, originating in the 17th century and elegantly transformed in the 18th century due to a significant renovation initiated by the Albanese family. Owned by the Francese family for over a century, it has preserved its agricultural roots through the raising of dairy cows while also serving as a sophisticated country house. Since 2001, it has welcomed a small number of guests, providing an authentic experience that blends tradition, nature, and hospitality.
The ambiance within the masseria reflects the layers of generations who have lived in and cherished it. Original furnishings, including period furniture, gramophones, and portraits, narrate the family's history, while the rooms have been designed to ensure maximum comfort without compromising their authentic essence. Guests can enjoy thoughtfully decorated rooms equipped with private bathrooms, air conditioning, heating, and Wi-Fi access in common areas. Breakfast features products from the masseria, such as freshly milked milk, homemade jams, cakes, cookies, and, upon request, savory options.
The living spaces have been reorganized to provide an intimate and private welcoming experience. The masseria includes a double room with a bathroom, a suite with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and an independent annex with a living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a private terrace with furnished outdoor areas. Each space has been restored with respect for its history, preserving original details such as stone floors, wooden fixtures, and ancient locks.
The masseria's location is perfect for exploring Puglia, situated just twenty minutes from the Ionian beaches and forty minutes from the Adriatic coast. The large barn, meticulously restored, now features an enchanting reception hall while retaining the stone arches of the old feeding troughs, and the former hayloft has been converted into a relaxation area.
Murgia Albanese is a timeless place where the charm of the past intertwines with the warmth of hospitality, offering an authentic experience in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty.
