| “Although the Masseria has its own history, we won’t narrate it. We prefer to let your imagination invent stories and characters that animate it, hoping that they will keep you company during your stay and long after” Masseria Serra dell’Isola is a charming countryside mansion surrounded by acres of olive groves and vineyards, situated in the heart of the Puglia region, on a hillock overlooking the town by the sea of Mola di Bari, and close to Conversano. A 17th century olive oil mill and once the summer residence of the owners’ family, the Masseria Serra dell’Isola is today a unique place to relax. Time has stopped here centuries ago and has preserved its history and culture unaltered through the authentic lifestyle of those days, the genuine foods, extra virgin olive oils and wines, and the true art of hospitality. Rita, the owner says: "Masseria Serra dell’Isola has been built by my ancestors. More than the owner, I consider myself the heiress and the guardian of a tradition and of a place where time and the frenetic rhythm of the metropolis are far away and unknown. Once a journalist specialized in environment and agriculture, today I devote myself to the studies of Puglia’s history and of our southern identity. I enjoy cooking traditional meals for my guests, all recipes hedged in precious cook books written by the ladies of my family throughout the centuries. My library is a well of curiosity and interest for my guests. Within the quietness of my gardens you will discover the joy of laying under the trees while reading a good book, and feel the mistral wind blowing; the “wind of the Lords”, as the farmers used to call it, because of the gentle breeze that gets up in the late morning and brings here the pleasant smell of the sea. Out of the white washed walls of my masseria I will lead you through paths and legends, hidden villages and landscapes of my beloved country" |
