Masseria Uccio

The Masseria Uccio is located in Apulia, amongst Otranto, Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca. It is a typical rural building in the inland of Salento whose origins date back to the XVII century, with a courtyard which was restructured in full compliance with its origins and the spirit of the place.

The Masseria Uccio has only 6 double rooms. Rooms are obtained from ambient once dedicated to agricultural activities (the farmer and his family’s house, stables sheepfolds, and storehouse). They maintain the architectural forms and the ancient atmospheres of the place.

The Masseria Uccio represents a real Masseria of Apulia Entirely realized with local stones, the ancient building shows the signs of the time gone by. The work carried out by wise local artisans allowed to preserve the fireplaces made of stones, the niches dug-out in the walls, the water tanks, all witnessing a modest peasant life in a distant past.
