# Masseria Fumarola, Martina Franca in Puglia

> Masseria Fumarola is a rural trulli-style guest house just outside Martina Franca in Puglia, Italy, blending a traditional 18th–19th century Puglian farmhouse with modern hotel amenities amid olive trees and a tranquil countryside setting.

## Destination

## When to go
The main season ends around mid-October; visiting in peak summer is ideal for pool use, though the trulli architecture is designed to provide relief from the summer heat.

## Why visit
To experience authentic trulli accommodation in a peaceful rural masseria, with easy access to the landscapes and historic towns of Puglia.

## What to see
- **Trulli suites and stone buildings** — Iconic 18th-century stone structures with trulli-style roofs, exposed stone walls, and massive fireplaces.
- **Grounds and swimming pool** — A serene outdoor space surrounded by chestnut, cactus, and olive trees with numerous lounges and patios.
- **Converted stable restaurant** — The ancient stable has been transformed into a refined restaurant where breakfast is also served.

## What to do
- **Relax by the pool** — Sunbathe on loungers surrounded by olive, chestnut, and cactus trees in a quiet natural setting.
- **Explore the surrounding Puglia region** — Use the masseria as a base for visiting nearby towns, trulli villages, and landscapes.

## Good to know
The trulli buildings are not insulated and can get cold in winter, though heating and fireplaces are available. WiFi is provided in the main reception building. The ricotta-chocolate cake at breakfast comes highly recommended.
