A Stay with a Fairytale Atmosphere
The Christmas offers from Apulian establishments are designed to make you feel “at home,” while giving you the comfort of a high-profile resort. The packages, which include a stay of at least two nights, welcome you into warm and traditional settings: stone-walled restaurants, ancient halls with lit fireplaces, and the chance to sleep in a charming trullo. It is the perfect atmosphere for an intimate and traditional Christmas

Magic and Fun for Everyone
The masserie and resorts offer an entertainment program designed for the whole family. After the big meals, guests gather for a traditional prize-winning bingo (tombolata) and classic card games, creating moments of pure joy and togetherness. For children, meeting Santa Claus and capturing the moment with photos will be an unforgettable thrill.
Discovering the Treasures of the Region
A Christmas stay in Puglia is also the perfect opportunity to explore the wonders of the region. Villages light up for the season, offering a truly unique spectacle:
The Lights Tour: Stroll through the enchanting alleys of Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, and Monopoli, all dressed in dreamlike lights and decorations.

And don’t forget to indulge in a tasting: in Bari Vecchia you can savor typical scagliozze and pettole, while throughout the region you can enjoy traditional Christmas sweets such as sugar-glazed taralli, cartellate, and milk-based pastries.
A Christmas in a masseria is not just a holiday, but a deep immersion into the culture and traditions of a land like Puglia one that knows how to combine the best of both worlds: the sophistication and tranquility of a resort, and the authenticity of its roots.
