The Masseria Petrarolo farmhouse boasts a rustic Italian chic aesthetic. Restored and redesigned by Alexander Waterworth, the luxe villa is located in the heart of Puglia. The historic building was once a fortified farmhouse against Saracen invaders. Now, it welcomes guests for a dreamy get-away from quotidian life.
Comprising 30 hectares of picturesque farmland, the Masseria Petralolo boasts eight restored bedrooms, each with its own identity. Colored in naturally sourced pastels, the interior design provides a light yet romantically defined feel to compliment the magnificent views. In addition, the retreat has three kitchens, a dining area, a wine room, a pool house, and a sitting room, all consistent with its rustic refinements to rejuvenate its guests.
