"Couples with their sights set on Puglia, take note of Masseria Calderisi. This striking boutique hotel sits within a 17th-century farm, surrounded by 24 acres of olive groves, citrus trees, and herb gardens. The whitewashed tufa stone walls and textural interiors offer an atmospheric backdrop for wedding weekends. For the ceremony itself, a small chapel can accommodate up to 30 guests and dates back to the 1600s. Just outside, a piazza with strung lights awaits." - Nicole Kliest
"Opened in 2021 by Max and Jutta von Braunmühl, this exuberant masseria feels warm and lively rather than formal: the owners often mingle with guests, the activities range from a private beach strip and boat trips to spa scrubs using honey, salt and lemon from the gardens, and the boutique stocks local ceramics alongside designer beachwear. Hospitality here is impeccably attentive without being overbearing, and communal touches—a morning bread‑baking session, twice-weekly pizza parties—make it an inviting slice of classic Puglian paradise with a fresh, youthful twist." - Liam Hess
"With 24 rooms it’s substantial for a farmhouse, but on a 24-acre estate — that’s a substantial ratio — it’ll never feel crowded. And it means there’s plenty of variety, from the stylish rooms in the main building to the suites that occupy the old tower or the stables." - La Guida Michelin
"Masseria Calderisi is a 17th-century working farm with 24 acres of olive, almond, and citrus trees. The estate's whitewashed, tufa-stone home has been transformed into a 24-room boutique hotel, offering a minimalist, zen atmosphere perfect for a wedding. The venue provides a complimentary shuttle to the beach and features gardens with oranges and pomegranates, embodying the 'slow living' vibe of Puglia."
"Halfway from the town of Fasano to the beach, set on an estate that dates back to the 17th century, is Masseria Calderisi, a 24-room luxury boutique hotel that makes a strong case for the singular charms of southern Italian country hospitality." - Le Guide MICHELIN
