This is our second trip to this wonderful Masseria near Castel Del Monte. We visited here for one night during a week long cycle trip around Puglia. |The building and surrounding grounds are stunning.

Hopefully he'll be back next...

It was the start of our first visit to Puglia so we were off on a great footing. The Castel del Monte nearby is the main tourist site and well worth it. This venue is also constantly in use for...
