Who we are
Masseria Macchia was built in the late 19th century as a landmark for agricultural life in the area. It is an ancient rural little village containing what used to be the farmer's house, storage rooms for crops, stables, and accommodation for the workers.
Our Masseria is nestled in a 200-hectare estate connected to the Ionian Sea, a vast expanse of land surrounded by orange groves, olive trees, and vast wheat fields.
After a period of restoration and enhancement respecting its rural nature, it started welcoming its first guests in 1987, becoming one of the first holiday farms in Basilicata.
Today, Masseria Macchia is a place rich in history, deeply rooted in its land. Here everything flows harmoniously, thanks to the simplicity of nature and the passion of the Panetta family, now in its fifth generation.
Our simple but traditional architecture, expansive outdoor spaces, and exclusive amenities, such as the private beach, wellness area, and saltwater pool, create an atmosphere of peace, privacy, and intimacy.
Francesco, and his wife Maria, together with their children Ersilia, Renato, and Cosimo, will welcome you into this enchanting setting, fully honoring the ancient concept of hospitality.
The exact moment you finally notice that the sky has so many stars, the countryside has its own unique sound, and time takes on a different meaning from the routine.
The exact moment you taste the dishes of our Meditterranean cuisine, bringing you back to those ancient flavors.
The exact moment even daring to take a bike ride won't seem so crazy, but, it will, instead, make you relive the bygone time.
The exact moment the wind blows against you, and the sun warms the air, your mind will feel completely free and full of love.
Only then ,we will accomplished the mission closest to our hearts, to give you moments of profound serenity."
