Hospitality
Six historic rooms inside an 18th-century palazzo, with all the warmth the Protopapa family can offer.
Living the Urban Farmhouse
Exclusive rooms inside our 1700s Urban Masseria: historic vaulted ceilings, original encaustic tiles and one-of-a-kind spaces. From the first floor, the view over the village of Matino follows the rhythm of our farming seasons.
A Mediterranean welcome built to connect the charm of the historic building with the living work of our land. Not a hotel — a family home open to guests.
