Italy Martina Franca Masseria Fumarola The Best Hotel Deals

The unique features of the Murge landscape have combined with particular flair in this 800 mansion house, which is located a few km from Martina Franca, the baroque masterpiece of Valle d'Itria, and at a close reach from the main attractions of the area. The mansion house includes 14 suites, equipped with all modern comforts: wireless internet, satellite TV, jacuzzi, air conditioning, minibar. Here visitors may live the experience of sleeping in a palmento, the area once employed for the production of wine, or may choose an apartment in which each room is a different trullo, the traditional cone structure that forms the basis of local architecture. Other offers include a suite with a groin-vaulted loft, one where wood benches gather around the fireplace of an alcove, one in which an ancient oven has been restored to function. All bedrooms are accompanied by separate living rooms, and by a frontyard jutting on the countryside. The furniture is ancestral, just like the family ambience that makes this mansion the ideal destination for anyone who wishes to meet the autentic soul of the land: wrought-iron beds, old doors adapted to cubbies, tables obtained from the wheels of the horsecart. The swimming pool girdled with chestunt trees and a private 6-hectare wood of fragni (a variety of oak unique to this area) are available for relax and excursions. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, based on homemade products and rigorously prepared in the local tradition, are served in the old manger hall, adapted into a meeting place.
