Masseria: The Italian Farmhouses of Puglia

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia

The houses of Puglia, called “masseria,” are fortified structures of brick, stone, and concrete dating from the Middle Ages and surrounded by verdant vineyards and groves of olive trees; many have been renovated to serve as private residences or boutique hotels (see Paradise in Puglia: Pensione to the Stars). You can admire the local architecture in Masseria: The Italian Farmhouses of Puglia (Rizzoli).
