About Masseria Calderisi
Steeped in history yet brimming with modern luxury, Masseria Calderisi was once a noble estate, its architecture a harmonious composition of whitewashed tufa walls, soaring decorative ceilings, and Moorish-inspired details. The estate’s 24 acres of olive and citrus groves, kitchen gardens, and flower-filled courtyards create a paradise destination wedding venue charged with southern Italian charm.
Throughout the property, the atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication: winding paths, shaded pergolas, and sun-dappled terraces invite guests to pause, notice, and savour the moment. The masseria’s varied spaces provide couples with a canvas for weddings that unfold over several days, from intimate gatherings to grand affairs of up to 170 guests.

Receptions & Celebrations
The main asset of Masseria Calderisi is the sheer variety and quality of its spaces, offering a seamless progression of settings and moments, each can be used to enrich the experience and immerse guests in the estate’s atmosphere.
The Piazza provides a natural starting point, where welcome drinks can be served in the shade of citrus trees as guests gather and anticipate the day(s) ahead. The ceremony might flow into an elegant outdoor gathering on the open lawn or a serene poolside afternoon in the Poolside Area, perfect for mingling and refreshing before the evening’s festivities.
As late afternoon arrives, guests can move into the Olive Groves for aperitivi; a quintessential Puglian moment, surrounded by ancient trees and golden light. As dusk falls, the tables are set in La Corte, the estate’s main dining room, where fine table scaping, stone alcoves, and candlelight establish an atmosphere of timeless intimacy for a formal dinner.
Post-dinner, the celebration seamlessly transitions into the Moroccan Tent, a semi-enclosed space with an exotic feel, ideal for dancing late into the night. For smaller gatherings or private moments, the Roof Terrace offers a panoramic setting for sunset cocktails, while secluded terraces and hidden garden nooks allow intimate gatherings to unfold away from the central celebration.
The following day, the estate invites guests to reconvene over a relaxed brunch by the pool or a rustic lunch amid the olive groves, extending the spirit of togetherness. Each of these spaces offers distinct atmosphere and purpose, allowing couples to design a celebration that flows naturally from one beautiful setting to another.
Accommodation
The masseria’s 24 rooms and suites accommodate 50 guests, combining traditional materials and clean, comfortable design, providing simple, relaxed accommodation that’s ideal for wedding parties wanting to spend time together on the estate. Accommodation includes daily housekeeping, concierge assistance, and laundry service to support guests during their stay. The large heated pool is also available for guest use, as well as communal spaces that make the property feel like a private retreat for family and friends. Many rooms open onto private terraces or gardens overlooking orchards and olive groves, giving guests space to unwind between events.
Accommodation options include double rooms for couples or solo guests, spacious garden suites for families or friends, and special options such as the Tower Suite with elevated views over the estate and Il Fortino; a private hideaway with its own walled garden and plunge pool, perfect for couples looking for added privacy. For larger weddings, the estate can help arrange nearby boutique hotels and villas to accommodate overflow guests comfortably and conveniently.
The estate’s facilities support a relaxed multi-day wedding stay: guests can spend time together at the large heated pool, enjoy breakfasts in the shaded piazza, explore kitchen gardens, relax in quiet corners with a book, or take part in yoga, pizza-making and other informal activities. The calm, walkable layout means family and friends can treat the masseria like a private holiday retreat for a few days while enjoying privacy when desired, making it an easy, appealing option for those planning an extended wedding gathering where everyone can stay, celebrate and unwind together.
Catering
At Masseria Calderisi, dining plays an integral role in shaping both the wedding day and the wider multi-day celebration. On site chef Pietro Sgaramella draws from Puglia’s rich culinary traditions, creating seasonal menus built around estate-grown produce, fresh seafood from the Adriatic, and ingredients sourced from trusted local suppliers.
Food and drink options can be tailored to match the tone and flow of each part of the celebration. Welcome dinners or casual gatherings might take place poolside at Gioia Pool Bar, offering relaxed menus of wood-fired pizzas, salads and house-made gelato. Aperitivi before the wedding can unfold in the olive groves or on the roof terrace at Apero Bar, with guests enjoying small plates, cocktails and regional wines as the sun sets.
On the wedding day itself, a formal wedding feast can be held either as a multi-course meal in La Corte, ideal for an elegant dinner setting, or as a long-table dinner outdoors beneath olive trees strung with festoon lights, creating a warm, joyful atmosphere.
For late-night celebrations, bespoke bar service is available, whether for cocktails, fine Italian wines or a curated drinks menu that suits the couple’s preferences.
Beyond the wedding day, Masseria Calderisi can cater to next-day brunches, family-style lunches and informal meals, helping couples and their guests enjoy their time together across the entire stay. The flexibility of the dining spaces and the estate’s approach to food and drink ensures that each meal feels thoughtfully integrated into the wider experience, offering an authentic and relaxed way for friends and family to gather, share, and celebrate together.
