Casina Piangevino and Villa Antonelli. Twelve apartments in two 18th-century masserie, among the olive trees of Monopoli.
For two centuries, the place where the contrada came together.
On Sundays the people of the Monopoli countryside came up here. For mass in the little chapels, to buy and sell, for water, for olive oil, for a party in the courtyard.
Casina Piangevino was once an old olive mill, while Villa Antonelli went from being the summer home of the family who gave the contrada its name to becoming the school for the contrada’s children. In 2013 Achille Piangevino and his wife Rosella opened the doors again and made it a farm stay. People still gather here today: with the people they love and with their own time.
Two 18th-century masserie among the olive trees of Monopoli.
Casina Piangevino gathers around its stone courtyard, between the little chapel and the pine wood; Villa Antonelli, with its chapel and tower, looks down over the valley. They lie three kilometres apart, among dry-stone walls and ancient olive trees, where the countryside slopes gently down to the sea. Choose the one that feels like you.
Casina Piangevino
The pool with its play area, the big lawns, the pine wood: there is room for everyone, children too. Six apartments around the courtyard.

Pools surrounded by nature
A book, the cicadas, still water. Monopoli is fifteen minutes away, the sea twenty, but there’s no rush.

The golden light of evening
The stone warms in the light, swallows circle over the roofs and the countryside falls quiet. A glass of wine on the terrace, then a sky filling with stars.
