A labour of love for two Apulian siblings, Il Giardino Grande is a made-over masseria deep in the hinterlands of Salento. Dating back to the 19th-century, this stone-washed palazzo was originally used as a summer home by an aristocratic Parabitian family, and now you can too… It’s flanked by palms and lush green gardens, a pin-drop oasis just an olive’s throw away from Gallipoli’s best beaches. Inside, original features like local stone, symmetrical arches and vaulted ceilings are modernised by cool-and-colourful custom furniture and upcycled mid-century pieces. Curl up with a coffee in the chapel-turned-reading-room, stroll the colonnades of the ornamental garden, or put la dolce far niente (essentially, doing sweet nothing) into practice, slurping spritzes from a poolside lounger. 

 

  

You’ll find Il Giardino Grande in a rural pocket of Puglia’s Salento peninsula, a stone’s throw from the charming old towns of Parabita and Matino and a short bike ride to Gallipoli’s best beaches.
