The Masseria farms, houses full of charm and tradition, are a type of house that has its roots in the oldest and most authentic history of Italy.<\/h4>\n

They contain traces and illustrations of an ancient lifestyle in which simplicity and frugality were the basis of habits and daily routines, which had to be perfectly integrated with the working ones.<\/p>\n

Often designed to hold the heat in winter and allow freshness in summer, the light was not, in the original design forms, a founding element.<\/p>\n

In fact, the inhabitants of the farms spent most of their day time outside the home, and often the spaces in front of the interior are fully equipped, still remaining important spaces to be lived in every day life.<\/p>\n

Tables, sinks, stone or wooden benches, even precious floors: The courtyards and patios of the farms were (and still are) a part of the house, but without a roof.<\/h4>\n
