Visit Puglia

The territory

Masseria Montenapoleone rises up right in the middle of the ancient olive tree plain in the Fasano area.
This sunny coastal area, at the beginning of the 1800’s, was colonised by a group of farmers from Fasano and Cisternino in order to cultivate it.
The land was divided into strips commonly known as “pezze”- owned by the Greco family – hence the name Pezze di Greco, a small hamlet (which is a part of Fasano), situated 5km from the coast.
This is an ideal position to visit Puglia – Masseria Montenapoleone is in the heart of the region, about 50 km from Bari, surrounded by the Itria Valley, and is a perfect starting point in order to explore the Salento beaches.
The live nativity scene of Lama del Tappeto is now famous nationwide and takes place in this craggy village of great archeological importance.
