Mela Masseria Giulio | Apartment in Masseria Don Giulio Francavilla Fontana
1 Bedroom Apartment in Francavilla Fontana, Masseria Don Giulio Francavilla Fontana
Romantic one bedroom apartment perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of Puglia. The apartment has been converted from the large stable that adjoined the main building and we have retained several features from the stable. The apartment has exposed stone feature walls in the main living area and in the bedroom - onto what would originally have been the exterior wall of the chapel when it was built in the seventeenth century.
The apartment has air conditioning in the bedroom (providing either cold or warm air depending on the weather) and also has under floor heating throughout, which is available in the cooler months.
Mela has a patio area to the front of the property which looks out over the beautifully landscaped internal, courtyard garden.
Masseria Giulio is listed as a regionally important building dating from the early seventeenth century. It started life as a chapel serving the local farm workers before being used as a convent and then a monastery. During the eighteenth century it was converted into a masseria (walled farmhouse). It remained a working farm producing olives, olive oil, vegetables and fresh milk, cheese and meat from the animals (cows, sheep, goats and pigs) homed in the stable block until the late 1980s when it fell into disrepair. We have completed a full restoration of the property using local artisan builders and craftsmen and have converted the old stables and farm buildings into holiday apartments.
We have five self-contained apartments (1 one bedroom and 4 two bedrooms) which have their own well equipped kitchen, inside dining and living areas and outside patio areas. The apartments have been designed to provide stylish, high quality accommodation with designer furnishings to allow you to relax, unwind and enjoy this fabulous corner of Italy. Links to each of the individual apartments are provided from this page.
The farmhouse garden (approx. 600 square metres) is surrounded by a high dry stone wall and has been fully landscaped with an array of beautiful plants including roses, birds of paradise, cannas, bouganvillia and cacti. We have an orchard containing apricot, lemon, orange, nectarine, pomegranate, plum, cherry, kiwi, mulberry, pear, apple, fig and cedra trees. We also grow a wide variety of our own organic vegetables. Guests are welcome to use our produce during their stay.
Adjoining the masseria and garden we also have a small olive grove featuring around 35 olive trees. These produce two types of olives; one primarily for eating (please note that they need to be prepared and are not suitable for eating fresh from the tree!); the other type is used for making oil. We make approximately 45 litres of organic extra virgin olive oil from our crop harvested in the late autumn.
