This stylish sixteenth century fortified farmhouse and once was a country house is representative of the region of Puglia. This gem was set up by the very humble Maria Grazia, who when you will find when you look up the phrase “hostess with the mostess”. She epitomises everything that a host should be, attentive, approachable, open and just good fun. In 1996 she decided to leave her job of being a lawyer to run wild and free with her creative visions and thus Masseria Potenti was born. It is a great family run effort with her daughter Chiara running the social media & communications, her husband the accounts and other members are involved with making the Masseria what it is today. Every nook and cranny has a touch that has been executed by Maria, she assists with the styling of weddings and is quite the cook too. We had the pleasure of breaking bread at the table several times with her, as did other guests and she always greets guests when on site. It is this presence that contributes to that wonderful homely feel. We even got to meet her very sweet mother, and felt like we were staying with friends.
