Masseria Ciavea is a genuine historical residence that dates back to the 17th century. The ground floor, featuring impressive stone barrel vaults, originates from the 1600s, while the first floor was constructed in several phases between the early 1800s and 1883, as noted by an inscription on the main balcony. The name of the masseria references an ancient variety of almonds that were grown on the farm as early as the 1800s.
Guests can opt for either bed and breakfast or half-board service, enjoying traditional Apulian dishes made with farm-fresh ingredients.
