Puglia – Italy
It is the harmony between landscapes and architecture that makes a place truly unique and unforgettable.
At Masseria Croce Piccola, Bepi Povia —designer, landscape architect, and viticulturist—embodies a new approach to agriculture, reclaiming ancient traditions and revitalizing them, drawing fresh inspiration from the past to nourish the future.
Across seventeen hectares of flourishing nature—where olive groves, oak woods, and native vineyards coexist—forgotten varieties of wheat, legumes, vegetables, and vines, once at risk of extinction, have been carefully restored and now thrive more vibrantly than ever.
This is how products are born that transport both the eye and the palate back to ancient beauty and flavours—sensations to be savoured once more in all their spontaneity and uniqueness.
Masseria Croce Piccola, situated over five hundred meters above sea level in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, stands on the border of the Pianelle National Park, one of Puglia’s largest and most significant nature reserves.
With its two historic monumental trulli and its expansive courtyard at the entrance, Masseria Croce Piccola offers guests the opportunity to stay in a place of charm and character. Here, visitors can savour exquisite small-plate cuisine of the highest quality while enjoying the tranquillity and silence of the countryside, all while being within easy reach of the most beautiful cities in the Valle d’Itria, such as Martina Franca, Locorotondo, and Alberobello.
