Four centuries of history, nestled among the olive trees of Puglia
Masseria Montepaolo is a 16th-century historic residence in the heart of the Laghi di Conversano Nature Reserve, in Puglia. A place where the history of the Acquaviva d’Aragona family meets the olive groves we still tend today.
Offer of the month
A 16th-century hunting lodge, guardian of authentic stories
In the 16th century it was the hunting lodge of the Acquaviva d’Aragona family. Today it still stands on the same hillock overlooking a karst sinkhole, among centuries-old olive groves, almond orchards and Mediterranean scrub, within the Laghi di Conversano Nature Reserve, an area protected by the WWF.
