Villa Cenci Relais Masseria
Puglia, Italy
Whitewashed masseria with trulli, turquoise pool and olive groves in the hills of Cisternino, Puglia
No. 389 · Autumn 2026
An Apulian masseria renewed
Villa Cenci Relais Masseria is a renovated Apulian masseria near Cisternino with 34 rooms, a large pool and space for 180 wedding guests among olive groves.
Villa Cenci is an old masseria on the hills of Cisternino whose buildings have been renovated and given new life. Whitewashed walls, natural stone and conical-roofed trulli frame the grounds, and the relais doors are painted the blue of the Apulian sky and sea. The estate covers 13 hectares of natural surroundings.
Weddings by the pool and in the gardens
Drinks and cocktails are served on the lawns beside the large turquoise pool, which becomes a setting for candlelit dinners in the evening. Gardens of citrus trees, herbs and vine-draped pergolas host ceremonies and photographs, while courtyards and wide lawns suit both intimate and larger receptions. The whole estate can be taken for a multi-day celebration.
