The name
The idea of calling it Masseria dell'Orsa is simply because the Ursa Major constellation twinkles right above our main door. Every time entering and leaving the Masseria, while looking at the night sky you can salute the Orsa Maggiore.
The love
My husband and I fell in love with this area many years ago. The land, the people, the incredible sea, and long was our search for the perfect hideaway. Masseria dell'Orsa was the result and with hard work, passion and love we have created the perfect place, to enjoy with family and friends.
The masseria
375 sqm. on two floors, the Masseria is "H shaped" and offers a space for every need. On the ground floor you will be greeted by the living room with a smart TV, a chimney, two 4-seater couches and a floor pillow. Entering the arch on the left, the 12-seater dining room will lead you to 2 of the 5 bedrooms (one on the ground floor and one on the 1st floor), the guest bathroom, the laundry and the fully equipped kitchen with the second fire place.
On the right, the remaining 3 bedrooms: 1 double room wheelchair friendly, 1 triple room and stairs leading to 1 double room on the 1st floor.
The pergola
The 150 sqm. pergola is the real heart of the Masseria, and it covers externally most of the ground floor. It offers a 12-seater dining table, two 4-seater built-in couches and two armchairs. We applied two ceiling fans to help the soft summer breeze run through and ensure the best comfort for all moments.
The pool and garden
The 2 hectares of land where originally an olive grove. Due to the Xylella that devastatingly hit the area, with broken hearts we had to root out almost 200 trees, managing to save only a few and mostly for sentimental reasons.
The land today is cultivated in Senatore Cappelli wheat. This particular, rare Italian breed not only has excellent properties. but grows higher than normal wheat, providing incredible colours to our garden, depending on the season, from bright green to golden brown.
The pool measures 10x4mt. and is 1,5mt. deep, with sunbathing area and 2 cabanas for those in search of shadow.
