There is a more dressed-up side to the masseria experience, and
Masseria Li Reni knows it well. In the countryside around Manduria, this 16th-century estate mixes old Salento stone, pine-shaded grounds and a quietly luxurious mood with a winery, restaurant and 13 suites. They range from intimate historic rooms to larger pool suites with private patios - as well as the property’s playful and distinctive “Wine Barrel Rooms,” where you quite literally sleep inside a beautifully designed space shaped like a giant wine barrel.
The food and wine side gives the property much of its shape. Donna Augusta, the in-house restaurant, reworks Apulian and Salento cooking in a more contemporary key, while the estate’s winery keeps the stay anchored in local wine culture rather than generic country-house comfort. There is also a spa and two outdoor pools, which broadens the experience without diluting it.
Li Reni has that rare ability to feel both expansive and private at once. The sort of place where dinner matters, the suite matters, and leaving for off-property plans suddenly feels unnecessary.
