Masseria Potenti

The most magical place on earth!!! What Chiara and her family have created is so special and entirely different than anywhere else I’ve ever visited. The Masseria is built with such love and sense of time. Each guest room is detailed with antiques and linens from the region that feel almost too precious to lay out. The food is incredible; I didn’t know vegetables until I came here. The grounds and landscape are lush and inspired, with massive fig trees and cactuses lining the property before long stretches of olive groves and grapes. After our first trip in 2018, we’ve returned time and again and recommended to our friends and family. Finally in 2022, we married at the Masseria and had the opportunity to bring everyone and celebrate with our Masseria family. It was a perfect setting and Chiara and her team covered every aspect of our dream celebration, even accommodating for last minute changes when we had some windy weather difficulties. We’re so grateful to the Tommasino’s for treating us like family and making our wedding and each visit feel so special.

I came here for a yoga retreat and could not believe how beautiful the property is. The grounds are beautiful and filled with olive trees, fruit trees and a vineyard. I really want to commend the servers, in the restaurant, especially Arc Anthony. (Spelling?) He was our server for much of the retreat, and he was just so charming, attentive, and truly went above and beyond in every instance. There were about 20 women on this retreat and arc could not have been a better server. It didn’t matter what we asked for, salt, coffee, more of this, or that, he made sure that we were well taken care of and happy. 🙏🙏🙏 One of the highlights for me was the wine tasting, in the properties own wine cellar. The Sommelier , Gloria, was knowledgeable, warm and funny. It was interesting to hear her explain how all of the wines are produced in a traditional and authentic Italian way. All of the grapes are handpicked, and the wine is created by using anole fashioned wine press, and the results speak for themselves. The wines are outstanding. If you have the opportunity to go to the Moroccan spa, do it. Luciano gave me the best massage I’ve ever had! 10/10. This is a beautiful and unique property run by a family that is filled with love, warmth, and authentic Italian flare. I cannot wait to come back.

I was here with a yoga group. We stayed for a week. I just can’t say enough about Maria and her delightful family that treated us like royalty every second. The vegan meals were just spectacular. The rooms were country posh. The Masseria is surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, lemon and pomegranate trees. The surrounding towns in Puglia were historic and stunning. It was a trip I will always remember.

We had an amazing stay here! It is such a beautiful place filled with nature and history from the 16th century. It was beautifully restored with a chic aesthetic while maintaining elements of its history. I especially loved their collections of pottery spread all throughout the rooms. The olive, fig, and grape trees all over the property are beautiful and delicious - I picked too many fresh figs off the tree to count!! The family that owns the Masseria is so kind and was always around to interact with guests and make you feel welcome <3 You can really feel Chiara and Maria Grazia’s passion for this place and connecting with the people who visit. The pizza night was especially fun where all the guests gather together for a delicious spread of fresh wood-fired pizzas made by Franco in an old wood fired oven - and you can help him make yours if you’d like!!

Loved my experience. The yoga classes, cooking workshops, horse riding and days I just wanted to relax by the pool. I loved pizza night on Thursday, and the different themes of the week. Everything was prepared with love and every detail of the trip was magnificent. I will certainly be returning, for yoga retreats as well as family vacations…and maybe also when I want to get away from the city and enjoy some of the traditional relaxing Italian lifestyle.

I came back to Masseria Potenti and I can't explain the magic of this place. Maria and Chiara have truly curated an experience that cannot be replicated. The attention to detail on service, food, interiors are so beautiful. If you're looking for an experience that is off the beaten path, this is it.

Staying at Masseria Potenti was an unforgettable experience — a true taste of authentic Italy. From the moment you arrive, the beauty of the masseria takes your breath away: surrounded by olive groves, whitewashed stone walls, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Puglian countryside. What makes this place so special, though, is not just the stunning setting but the warmth of the people. The owner personally ensures every guest feels at home, creating an atmosphere that is welcoming, personal, and filled with genuine Italian hospitality. The service is impeccable — thoughtful, attentive, and always with a smile. Every detail has been considered, from the charming rooms to the tranquil pool area, and the food is simply extraordinary. Meals here are a celebration of local flavors and traditions, made with fresh ingredients and served with love. Last but not least it’s dog friendly! Masseria Potenti is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience — one that captures the essence of Italy. I left feeling relaxed, inspired, and eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, luxurious, and truly welcoming escape in Puglia.

Could not recommend this place more! The room was gorgeous and had the comfiest bed ever. The food at dinner was amazing and Cosmo makes a VERY good spicy margarita. Service was fabulous and the farmhouse is so stunning. I wish we could have spent longer and used the amazing Moroccan spa they have! Thank you for the lovely night!!
