OUR STORY

I’m Carlo, the owner of Masseria Specula, a historic farmhouse in Puglia, Southern Italy. As a child, I explored the Apulian countryside and old masserias, drawn to their heritage and timeless charm. Among them was Masseria Specula, dating back to 1611, set on a hill with views of the Ionian Sea.

In 2023, I restored this masseria with respect for its history, using original materials and family heirlooms. Today, it offers a peaceful retreat in Puglia, surrounded by olive groves and authentic rural landscapes.
