Masseria Pistola is a restored 16th-century farmhouse in Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, set within a 50-hectare private estate in the unspoilt Canale di Pirro. The historic property combines traditional architecture with comfortable, luxurious accommodation, preserving original features while adapting the former farm buildings as guest spaces. Its 11 bedrooms are arranged across the main cumersa, a garden cottage, trulli and a former grain store, with en-suite bathrooms, walk-in showers and distinctive bathing features. The estate also includes private gardens, a swimming pool, tennis court, vineyard views and secluded dining areas.

Guests can enjoy a private villa experience supported by a chef, concierge and housekeeping. Chef Luciano prepares Puglian meals using seasonal produce, including vegetables from the kitchen garden, and the team can arrange al fresco dining, picnics and traditional pasta-making lessons. Masseria Pistola also welcomes weddings and retreats, with settings and facilities for wellness, creative, corporate, culinary and bespoke group programmes. Its gardens, communal dining spaces and peaceful surroundings make the estate suited to private stays, celebrations and gatherings.
