Masseria Baroni Nuovi

Why it’s on the Edit

Masseria Baroni Nuovi is a renovated farmhouse near Brindisi, in the locality of Acquaro. The Regione Puglia register files it as an agritourism lodging, which in plain terms is a farm stay.

That farm is real: the register description says the Baroni Nuovi estate was founded in the early 1960s and covers about 150 hectares of vineyards, arable land, olive groves and artichoke fields. The old masseria was once a summer residence and wine estate, and now takes guests in rooms of different types, with a restaurant.

It sits on the plain around Brindisi, at the edge between the Salento and the upper Salento. This is a rural stay near the city, with farm, oil and wine as the point.

The rooms

The masseria says it has thirteen rooms and suites, decorated with original furniture. The Regione Puglia register counts 12 rooms, 29 beds and 14 bathrooms, so ask which count is current. The register lists air conditioning, heating, a TV and a minibar in the rooms.

The register describes lodging of different types, and the Edit has no room sizes, so read the room descriptions on the masseria’s site and write to ask if you need space for a family.

The register notes doors and bathrooms that are easy to use. For step-free access, ask about the specific room and its entrance.

Eating and drinking

The restaurant, L’Officina del Gusto, is in four vaulted rooms in a post-industrial style, with a large portico. The register adds that oil and wine tasting is possible.

The farm supplies the theme. The register says the estate produces an extra virgin olive oil prized for low acidity, and two wines: Rustem, a Negroamaro del Salento IGP, and Hippios, a Primitivo del Salento IGP. It also says oil and wine are now pressed and bottled at nearby mills and cellars for logistical reasons, so the fruit is the estate’s while the pressing and bottling happen nearby.

Ask about dinner days and breakfast before you arrive, since the Edit has no hours for either.

The setting

The masseria lies in the open country of the Brindisi plain, in the locality of Acquaro, with fields of vines, olives and artichokes. The sea is a short drive away, but this is not a beach stay.

Brindisi is the nearby city. Italia.it describes it as a mix of Roman remains and later traces, and its Scalinata Virgiliana, topped by the Roman Columns, stands by the port. Oria, with its triangular castle, is also in the Messapian part of this area.

The register says there is a pool with loungers and ample free parking. The masseria also takes wedding and event enquiries, so ask whether a party falls on your dates.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere

Pick Masseria Baroni Nuovi for a farm stay in the Brindisi countryside, with fields, the estate’s oil and wine, a pool and a restaurant on site. It also works around an early or late flight into Brindisi, if you prefer a night in the country to one in the city.

Skip it if you want a spa, the sea at your door or a winter stay, since it closes in December. Masseria Palombara in Oria has 20 rooms, a pool and a spa. Masseria Vaccaro, a boutique hotel in Brindisi, has a pool too.

Getting there

Brindisi airport is the nearer of the two Puglia airports, and the masseria is on the plain close to it. Bari is much farther.

Aim for Brindisi and then the Strada Provinciale 44 toward Acquaro, in the Brindisi and the Messapian towns area. A car is essential: the farm is in open country, and the city, the beaches and the Messapian towns are all separate drives.

The address is on a provincial road, so enter the locality name, Acquaro, if your sat nav struggles. Ask the masseria for directions, and for an airport transfer if you land late.
