As in a traditional farmhouse, the estate is set around the central courtyard: the salon and veranda with their views of the sea, the staircase to the roof terrace, and the six bedrooms on either side, half with private gardens and the other half with private terraces looking out across the fields. Vaulted ceilings and stone floors help to keep the interiors of the masseria cool even on the hottest days.
