Masseria Artemisia

Masseria Artemisia is an ancient fortified farmhouse whose original core dates back to 1400.

The farmhouse is located in the countryside of Ugento, in the heart of Salento and the province of Lecce, and is only three kilometers away from the beautiful white beaches of Torre san Giovanni. Situated in an area of ​​great historical interest, rich in cultural and gastronomic itineraries, Artemisia owes its name to the Goddess Artemis, the goddess of hunting, wildlife, forests, and the countryside, as well as the personification of the "crescent moon." From the Goddess, Artemisia takes elegance and majesty but also the pleasure of reliving times now past, made of nature, passion, and humble fieldwork. Completely renovated and tastefully furnished, the structure is immersed in charming centuries-old olive groves and offers you the opportunity to spend pleasant moments full of peace and tranquility, far from the chaos of the city, surrounded by an atmosphere rich in charm and tradition, which only an ancient Salento farmhouse can give you.

The property offers double and triple rooms with the possibility of additional extra beds, all equipped with private facilities, air conditioning, LCD TV, and minibar, renovated in respect of the original structure and furnished with valuable and refined rustic furniture for a serene, peaceful, and relaxing stay just steps away from the most beautiful beaches of Salento.

In this corner of natural and unspoiled paradise, Artemisia has a large pool surrounded by greenery, where you can fully immerse yourself in the calm and tranquility of the countryside, gently cradled only by the rustling of leaves and the song of cicadas.

The farmhouse also has a large enclosed private parking, a transfer service to and from airports and stations, the possibility of boat trips, and the ability to book a beach umbrella at a designated partner beach club. Small and medium-sized pets are also allowed on the premises for a vacation with your most loyal friends.

Since 2019, the property has been enriched with a brand-new on-site restaurant, whose management offers dishes both from the land and the sea, rigorously prepared with fresh and seasonal products.

Artemisia is located in a strategic point for both sea lovers and those who want to fully immerse themselves in Salento culture by visiting the most interesting cities on the peninsula. From Artemisia, illuminating Salento is much easier. From the structure, you can easily reach the splendid beaches of Gallipoli and Otranto, the impressive sheer cliffs and caves of the Santa Maria di Leuca coastline.

In addition to the magnificent Ponte Ciolo, Castro Marina, Porto Selvaggio and its nature reserve, Porto Miggiano, Santa Cesarea Terme, and the Punta della Suina and Punta Pizzo coastlines. The crystal-clear sea, the breathtaking sunsets, the variety of shapes and colors make these places among the most beautiful and suggestive in the entire Mediterranean.
