Set among olive groves just inland from the Adriatic, Masseria Calderisi is a slow-paced masseria designed for immersive, multi-day wedding stays. The 17th-century farmhouse has been carefully restored, with whitewashed walls, vaulted interiors, and garden courtyards shaping a setting that feels both grounded and quietly refined. What defines Calderisi is its rhythm. With accommodation for up to 50 guests on site and a minimum stay that encourages time to settle in, weddings here unfold gradually—meals stretching into evenings, mornings spent by the pool or in the gardens, and celebrations that feel part of a longer shared experience rather than a single event.

Weddings & settings
Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Calderisi are defined by choice within a walkable estate, where each setting offers a different level of openness and atmosphere.
The venue supports symbolic, civil, and religious ceremonies, with a range of spaces that shift between structured and natural.
Consecrated Chapel
An intimate, enclosed setting for up to 30 guests, offering a quieter, more traditional atmosphere within the estate.
Citrus-Shaded Piazza
Open-air but contained, with trees providing shade and a sense of enclosure around the ceremony.
Olive Grove Clearings
Set among ancient trees, these spaces feel more open and connected to the surrounding landscape, with a softer, less defined structure.
Roof Terrace
Elevated and panoramic, suited to smaller gatherings, with views stretching across the estate.
Moroccan Tent
A more secluded option within the grounds, offering a layered, semi-enclosed setting with a distinct atmosphere.
Each location creates a different tone, allowing the ceremony to align closely with the scale and pace of the celebration.

Receptions
Weddings at Calderisi feel progressive and place-led, moving through a sequence of spaces that gradually shift in mood.
Drinks often begin in the piazza or by the pool, where guests gather in shaded areas, the atmosphere relaxed and social. The layout encourages movement—guests drifting between spaces rather than remaining in one place.
As the day moves on, aperitivo typically unfolds within the olive groves, where the setting opens out and the light softens. It’s a defining moment—informal, spacious, and rooted in the landscape.
Dinner becomes more grounded, often held in La Corte or set outdoors beneath the trees. The atmosphere tightens here—tables arranged more closely, lighting softer, with a stronger sense of focus on the shared meal.
Later, the celebration shifts again. Dancing moves into the Moroccan Tent, where the space becomes more contained and atmospheric, offering a clear contrast to the openness of earlier moments.
Across the weekend, additional gatherings—poolside lunches, next-day brunches—extend the experience, making the celebration feel continuous rather than confined to a single evening.
Staying on Site
The estate accommodates up to 50 guests across 24 rooms and suites, creating a private, village-like stay where everyone remains close but not crowded.
Garden Suites
More spacious options, often opening directly onto terraces or gardens, suited to families or small groups.
Double Rooms
Designed for couples or solo guests, with a consistent aesthetic of natural materials and soft, neutral tones.
Tower Suite
An elevated room with wider views across the estate, offering a slightly more distinct perspective.
Il Fortino
A private, self-contained space with its own walled garden and plunge pool, designed for added seclusion.
Across all accommodation, the design remains understated—clean lines, local materials, and a focus on comfort rather than decoration.
Shared spaces, including the pool, gardens, and shaded terraces, become part of the daily rhythm, encouraging guests to spend time together between events. Additional accommodation can be arranged nearby for larger groups.

Food & Atmosphere
The food experience at Calderisi is chef-led and rooted in place, shaped by the approach of in-house chef Pietro Sgaramella.
Menus draw directly from Puglia’s ingredients—estate-grown produce, local seafood, and regional specialities—served across different settings depending on the moment. Dining is not fixed to one format; instead, it adapts to the flow of the celebration.
Poolside meals at Gioia lean more relaxed, with wood-fired cooking and lighter dishes, while aperitivo on the roof terrace or in the groves centres around small plates and drinks as the light shifts. The main wedding dinner often takes place either in La Corte or outdoors beneath olive trees, where long tables and shared courses create a more connected atmosphere.
Across the stay, food becomes a constant thread—informal, seasonal, and closely tied to the setting.
