My story

My name is Paola, and my family and I are the keepers of the Masseria Santalachicca, a jewel and precious gift by Grandma Angelina, my paternal grandmother. This magical place at the Baroque heart of the Itria Valley in Martina Franca is where I cherish the happiest memories of my childhood, a place where the beauty and peacefulness of nature blend with the rich peasant culture of the Apulian Murgia plateau.

I have always been passionate about the genuine spirit of this land, so I dedicate my heart and soul to make each stay at our Masseria an unforgettable experience. Each guest for me is unique. I personally dedicate myself to welcoming each of you and ensuring your well-being, trying to convey the love that I feel for this land.

I would like those who come to visit us to feel the authentic taste of Apulia, from its dense and simple flavours to the landscape rich in history and carved by the waves of the sea. A land where traditions are deeply connected with the surrounding Nature and tell the pure and fascinating stories of local families.

I invite you to experience the magic of Masseria Santalachicca, a place where the past meets the present, where each corner speaks of history and traditions, and where each moment spent becomes a cherished memory.
