Masseria Santa Cristina

Introduction

A beautifully restored Apulian masseria with elegant interiors, expansive gardens, and superb outdoor living, moments from Putignano and Puglia’s iconic towns.

Masseria Santa Cristina

Set amongst the rolling countryside just beyond the lively heart of Putignano, Masseria Santa Cristina is a welcoming retreat that captures the timeless spirit of rural Puglia. Surrounded by olive trees and open farmland, the villa enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of local markets, cafés and historic streets.

Carefully restored, the house balances traditional architecture with polished contemporary comfort. Inside, stone floors, soft neutral tones and elegant arches create a calm, airy ambience. The generous living and dining spaces flow naturally to the gardens, while a well-equipped kitchen opens out for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Four bedrooms are arranged across two levels, offering both privacy and flexibility, including a ground floor suite.

The gardens are designed for long, leisurely days outdoors. A large swimming pool with Roman steps sits at the heart of the grounds, complemented by a pool house and shaded lounging areas. There’s a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue and wood-fired oven, perfect for relaxed suppers beneath the stars, while a hot tub, yoga terrace and fitness area invite slower moments of indulgence. Younger guests are equally well catered for with space to play and games to enjoy.

Ideally placed for exploring, the villa is within easy distance of Puglia’s highlights, from the trulli of Alberobello to the dramatic coastline at Polignano a Mare. Combining authenticity with comfort, this is a delightful base for families or friends seeking both tranquillity and discovery.
