A family-run Puglian masseria near Manduria with its own wine, a pool and space for 200.
The Setting
Masseria Potenti stands in the countryside of Contrada Potenti, outside Manduria in the province of Taranto, in the heel of Puglia. It is a family-run farmhouse hotel, with rooms and suites, a pool and its own estate wine, olive oil and produce served at the table.
The feel is a working masseria rather than a polished resort. The family has hosted celebrations lasting seven nights, letting couples move between spaces and change the styling each night. Brindisi Airport is about 45 minutes away and Bari about an hour and a half. Ask the team for the room count.
The day itself
There are three ceremony settings to choose from: the orangery, the Agavi Portico and the Moorish-style Androna Porch, which the masseria suggests for cooler weather. Aperitivo can be served beside the pool.
Indoors there is room for up to 200 people, and the restaurant has a maximum of 250. Menus are shaped around each couple, with the estate's own wine on the table, and a wedding planner can pull together suppliers, flowers, transfers and accommodation. Ask the team about legal or symbolic ceremonies, wedding seasons and the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
Guests can stay in the rooms and suites at the masseria, so the closest family can wake up on site. For bigger groups, the family works with partner hotels and B&Bs nearby and can arrange transport between them. Ask the team how many rooms you can take.
The days around the wedding have plenty in them: Mediterranean cooking classes, guided walks among myrtle and rosemary, walking and cycling trips in the Salina dei Monaci and Palude del Conte reserves, yoga, beach days and tastings of the estate's wine, cheese and olive oil in the cellar. Fly into Brindisi, about 45 minutes away, or Bari, about 90 minutes.
Book a cellar tasting of the estate's wine, local cheese and olive oil for the welcome evening, then let guests walk it off in the Salina dei Monaci reserve the next morning.
