Mastropà
Puglia, Italy
Restored country house with saltwater pool and olive groves above the Gulf of Taranto, Massafra, Puglia
No. 87 · Autumn 2026
A hunting lodge turned country house
Mastropà is an exclusive resort in a restored nineteenth-century country house near Massafra, with nine rooms, a saltwater pool and ceremony settings among olive trees above the Gulf of Taranto.
Casino Mastropaolo began as a hunting lodge in the early nineteenth century, the summer home of landowning families who produced oil and wheat. It stands on a hill in the Massafra countryside overlooking the Gulf of Taranto. The present owners bought the house in 2012 and spent ten years restoring it, planting thousands of trees and regenerating the Mediterranean scrub around it.
Weddings in the olive grove and courtyards
Civil and symbolic ceremonies are held among the olive trees or at the edge of the ravine, with its rock caves as a backdrop. Receptions use the courtyard in front of the house and the gardens, with the Sala dei Limoni and the Pergola del Gelsomino as the rain option for up to 120 guests. Weddings are held on an exclusive-use basis over a minimum of two nights.
