An authentic place where you can have
a unique and exclusive experience

a short walk from the sea

The Masseria stands in an area with a remarkable landscape, one of the most beautiful and attractive of the coastline near Otranto, next to the famous “Baia dei Turchi”, a natural bay with crystal clear sea water. Masseria Mongiò is on the northern side of the vast property belonging to the Mongiò family. From the old rural buildings, after a long and careful restructuring, 17 suites have been obtained. Each suite is different from the last in terms of size and room distribution, but they are all similar in style and the materials used.

For the renovation we decided to use materials and colours fully compatible with the natural environment, and we re-used as much as we could of what already existed, so as to keep a sense of continuity, but at the same time offering the utmost comfort for our guests. The renovation was aimed at minimising the environmental impact, also thanks to renewable energy. Additionally, our Masseria has a charging station for electric cars and a rack with charger for parking i-bikes. Our guests, sensitive to the topic, with their respectful behaviour in the entire process of protecting the environment.

history

The Family and the Logo

The Mongiò family came to Salento as part of the retinue of the Angevins at the end of the 14th century, settling in Lecce and in Galatina. Towards the first half of 16th century, the family divided into two branches, the Mongiò del Giglio and the Mongiò dell’Elefante, the latter being the landlords of this estate.

The logo of the Masseria recalls the coat of arms of the family and emphasises its main element: the elephant with the tower. In heraldry, the elephant symbolises strength and nobility of soul, but in many cultures it is associated with fortune and happiness. We do not presume that we can make you happy, but we certainly hope to make your stay pleasant and peaceful, surrounded by the nature and scents of a wonderful place.
