Tips

Roberto Nuzzo

It is actually a Fortified Watchtower, used for various purposes over time. In the eighteenth century, the construction of two magnificent balconies changed the original use of the tower-farm, transforming it into a stately country residence. On the sides, two square-based dovecotes repeat the profile of the building on a reduced scale, producing an amazing effect.

Now, the farm, run by the Leo family, embraces an area embellished by 65 hectares of olive trees, between the two seas, the medieval Abbey of Cerrate, the Rauccio natural park and the baroque beauties of Lecce.

A real show of beauty, history and typical flavors.

Open all year round, the farm offers a capacity of 120 seats. The Leo family farm is part of an important tourist system, which embellishes the coast and the northern Salento hinterland. Among the structures there is a fruitful collaboration: specifically, in terms of overnight stays, Masseria Melcarne collaborates with the farms (in alphabetical order) Caretti Grande, Coccioli, La Badessa, Monacelli, Ospitale, Provenzani and Trapanà, all a few kilometers away.
