Important Masseria located in the heart of Puglia, in the countryside of torre santa Susanna and Oria, Salento; the estate enjoys a very special geographical position, halfway between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea. The particular location allows the crops to benefit from both the windy currents coming in from the former sea and the typical salinity of the latter. Description The estate extends within the production territory of the doc primitivo di Manduria, in the province of Brindisi; it gathers in one place an ancient Masseria dating back to the 17th century, which develops an area of about 1230 square meters and restored respecting the environment and the original architecture, together with a contemporary winery of about 3,308 square meters, designed according to the most current principles of bio-architecture. The architectural intervention on the old buildings respected the original layout. Particular care has been taken to restore the two historically significant buildings in the area: the massive tower, which will be converted into a fine residence for the estate's guests, and a private chapel with frescoes dating back to the 16th century. The property enjoys 270 hectares of land; since the acquisition, all the land has been the subject of eco-sustainable interventions with the planting of native varieties capable of extracting the highest quality from the two types of soil present, one with prevalent skeleton and the other with a loamy-clay texture. There are 130 hectares under vine, all land where new rows of the best native varieties have been planted, made since the year 2000. Primitivo, a grape variety of very ancient origins, is now unanimously considered a symbol of the region and for years has been enjoying significant success in Italy and internationally for its typicality and longevity. Flanking the vines in perfect geometry are 40 hectares of centuries-old olive trees that, sink their roots into the red earth. Potential The masseria still has development possibilities toward the tourist accommodation sector; the existing buildings and/or new ones that could be built could be used as five-star luxury resorts thus going to increase the estate's profitability.

Set on a prominent corner between Via Benanduci and Corso Umberto I—just a short walk from Castello Imperiali, the main church and Piazza Umberto I—Palazzo Benanduci is a remarkable historic property offered for sale in Francavilla Fontana’s old town. The building is protected under an Italian ministerial decree recognising its historic and artistic significance, making it a rare opportunity for a carefully curated restoration project.While the exact construction date is unknown, the palace stands where the ancient Porta di San Nicola once marked the city’s defences, already shown on Centonze’s 1643 maps. Over centuries, the property evolved alongside the town’s growth, and traces of those changes remain visible—sealed openings, reconfigured ground-floor access and later balcony additions that narrate its long life.The palace rises over two above-ground levels. Historically, the ground floor served as storage and goods handling, while the piano nobile (first floor) was the formal residential level. The main entrance from Via Benanduci features a distinctive stone portal, topped by a balcony, leading into a grand entrance hall with a star-vaulted ceiling and traditional chianche stone flooring. A striking stone staircase then leads to the piano nobile, where you’ll find the classic layout of noble residences: generous vaulted rooms with impressive ceiling heights, divided by original 17th-century wooden doors.The first floor measures approximately 705 sq m, with access and frontage both to Via Benanduci and to Corso Umberto I, where additional rooms belonging to the property were also used in more recent times. The ground floor totals approximately 714 sq m, with parts now featuring commercial use.A standout feature is the private, enclosed internal garden of around 425 sq m—a genuinely uncommon asset in a dense historic centre, perfect for enhancing either a prestigious private residence or an upscale hospitality concept.The property also includes technical volumes on the second level of about 200 sq m, plus a substantial amount of outdoor space: terraces and balconies totalling around 500 sq m.A full renovation is required (although a portion was used as professional offices until a few years ago), and any works must respect the heritage protection. Thanks to its scale, location and identity, the palace lends itself naturally to a boutique hotel or high-end hospitality project, a statement private residence, or a mixed use concept combining cultural/professional spaces with commercial units on the ground floor.Regional incentives note (Puglia): PIA & Mini PIAIn Puglia, investment projects—particularly in tourism and hospitality—may, subject to eligibility and open calls, benefit from regional incentive schemes such as PIA and Mini PIA (typically a mix of grants and/or facilitated finance to support refurbishment and development). We can assist with an initial feasibility check, documentation overview and project set-up.
