Masseria Magica is a beautifully restored seventeenth century fortified farmhouse in the heart of Puglia. Its secure courtyard and noble towers denote the region’s battle strewn history, but where once stood a stronghold against marauding Barbary pirates now stands an elegant family hideaway, teeming with narrative, begging to be explored.
