Masseria San Michele, Martina Franca — Authentic Puglian Wedding Retreat

Masseria San Michele is an elegant 18th-century farmhouse (“masseria”) set in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, Puglia, close to Martina Franca, one of the region’s most charming baroque towns.
Address: Strada Cupa 7, 74015 Martina Franca (TA), Puglia, Italy.
Surrounded by olive groves, dry-stone walls, trulli, and rolling countryside vistas—offering tranquility, character, and panoramas typical of the Puglian landscape.

You can exchange vows in charming outdoor locations:
- The ancient 18th-century chapel on site, built in the 1700s.
- Among the lawns, in the “giardino all’italiana” (Italian garden) at sunset, or by the pool area in beautiful outdoor settings.
Reception settings include:
- Internal courtyard that can host welcome cocktails.
- Poolside terraces and garden zones for al fresco buffet or open-air dinners.

The Masseria offers six rooms plus a Family Suite (in a tower), carefully restored blending rustic charm with comfort.
Interiors reflect warm Puglian style: white stone, earthy tones, natural materials, a calm décor emphasizing comfort.
Services include free WiFi, pool, garden and common indoor/outdoor spaces for gatherings.

The venue supports events of multiple days: welcome gatherings, dinners, ceremonies, post-wedding brunches. Ideal for couples wanting a full wedding weekend immersion.
“Country-chic” styling: adaptable décor, lighting, table settings that blend rustic tradition with elegant touches.
Staff is reported as warm, attentive; many international couples have celebrated here, highlighting how the Masseria feels “home-like” even in large celebrations.

Valle d’Itria is a strong asset: nearby iconic towns (Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino) are major draws for guests, offering sightseeing, trulli villages, coastline, and tradition.
Local cuisine: fresh, regional Puglian food, olive oil, local produce; menus are adaptable and can include vegetarian options.
Experiences available: guided bike tours, e-bike rentals, excursions, cooking classes, relaxing poolside, enjoying the countryside pace.
