Excellent customer service
My husband and I were married here in May 2024. We found Masseria Don Luigi after searching online for several months and made the trip to view a handful of venues in October 2022. As soon as we stepped onto the Masseria Don Luigi property, we both immediately knew that it was the one and we compared all other options to it. During our many planning conversations with Angelo, we had questions that were answered incredibly quickly and some special requests that he was able to accommodate seamlessly. Excellent customer service. When we arrived at the property for the wedding celebrations, our family and friends were shocked and so impressed with all Masseria Don Luigi had to offer (as did we). The space is visually stunning (making it the perfect backdrop for a wedding), the rooms were large and comfortable, breakfasts were delicious, and the pool is one of the largest ones we saw, and we appreciated the shallow end for children attending. Attention was paid by all staff to make this an incredibly memorable event for my husband and I, along with all guests (especially those staying on site), which we greatly appreciated. Even my husband’s grandfather, born and raised in Puglia, was shocked that such a place existed and kept asking how we found it. We’ll truly never forget this trip and our time spent at Masseria Don Luigi, and we hope to return in the future as a reminder of our best day ever.

Dining at Masseria Don Luigi is the soul of the celebration — abundant, sun-kissed, and deeply rooted in the flavours of Puglia. Every meal becomes a ritual, every course a story, every toast a moment to savour.

  • Aperitivo Hour: As the sky turns gold, guests gather by the pool for chilled spritzes, crisp local wines, and rustic antipasti of burrata, focaccia, and just-picked vegetables. Laughter drifts through the courtyards as the celebration begins to unfold.

Here, food is never just food — it is part of the theatre of the day, as memorable as the vows and as generous as the southern Italian spirit.

Venue Availability

Masseria Don Luigi opens its gates from April through late October, offering a distinctly different charm with each season.

  • Spring (April–May): The countryside bursts into bloom, olive groves are lush, and the air feels fresh and fragrant — perfect for daytime ceremonies and pastel-hued celebrations.
  • Summer (June–September): The peak wedding season, with long golden days, balmy evenings, and skies perfect for dining under the stars. Aperitivi by the pool at sunset become unforgettable, and the courtyards glow with candlelight as celebrations flow late into the night.
  • Autumn (October): A quieter, softer atmosphere — warm light, harvest flavours, and a cosy intimacy ideal for smaller gatherings and wine-filled feasts.

Because of the masseria’s popularity, couples are encouraged to secure their preferred dates 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak-season weekends.
