Pricefrom €350 / night

A nobleman's house from 1608 between Ostuni and Lecce — empty for forty years, brought back over five by Gustavo Antonioni and Marc Nijenhuis, and lived in as a home.

The place

The Pink Lady of Puglia.
A nobleman's house between Ostuni and Lecce, four centuries old and lived in again.

Gustavo Antonioni first saw Partemio on his forty-eighth birthday, a grey day in Puglia. He'd been looking six years for a modest weekend house: two or three bedrooms, a counterweight to a career in entertainment in London. What he found was a shell: no roof, no windows, and two hundred white goats in residence.

He bought it anyway. The name is parte mío — part of me, in the Spanish he grew up speaking — and he reads the whole thing as fate. His father asked how anyone could want a pile of rocks, then invested in it and became its biggest supporter. The other half of the house is Marc, his partner, who arrived while the restoration was already underway.

Meet the hosts

Gustavo and Marc. He left a career in entertainment to bring a ruined masseria back to life. Marc arrived mid-restoration and stayed.

Gustavo runs the estate full time; Marc keeps his own work as a brand strategist and shapes how the house speaks. They live in Partemio, and guests stay inside that fact rather than beside it — no reception, no front desk. What they say they're doing is celebrating Puglia through the house, and once you're at the table you stop arguing with it.

A note from Solwyn

On a long call with Gustavo and Marc, the thing we kept returning to wasn't the tower or the table. It was how often they said home and how rarely they said hotel. A man who reads two hundred goats as a sign to change his life, and turns out to be right, is exactly our kind of host. We're booking — ideally for a dinner night.

What you'll find

Suites under the original vaults

Five suites sit beneath the original vaulted ceilings. One — the former shepherd's quarters — keeps its working fireplace. Another, under a barrel vault, opens onto a private terrace with an outdoor shower. The palette was uncovered rather than chosen: Pompeian red and ochre found under the exterior render, two painted ceilings found under centuries of whitewash.

The Moorish tower at golden hour

At golden hour everyone drifts upward, to the bar inside the Moorish tower, where the façade goes pink — which is why the house's nickname is the Pink Lady. On occasion, Gustavo and Marc have put a jazz band on the roof.

Il Tavolo Rosso

Nine metres of vivid red concrete on the terrace, seating twenty. At dinners, roughly half the chairs go to guests and half to Gustavo and Marc's friends and neighbours. They think carefully about who lands next to whom. Dinner runs from their own olive oil and a chilled rosato from their own Susumaniello vines through orecchiette rolled by hand.

Grottaglie ceramics and the oak forest

About ninety per cent of the ceramics come from Grottaglie. The hosts will drive you there if you ask where your plate was made. The estate also has an oak forest with meditation rocks, and yoga mats wait in every room.

Guest words

"This place is a dream! A state of grace. Impeccably restored to a state of grandeur. Everything is the highest quality from bedding, to food, to hospitality, to views: all creating an experience of peace, tranquility, and beauty."

Getting there

Finding Masseria Partemio.

Partemio sits in the countryside near Latiano, roughly between Ostuni and Lecce, about twenty minutes from Brindisi airport and reachable off the Bari–Lecce and Brindisi–Taranto roads. The entrance runs up an alley of olive trees three and a half centuries old. Bring a car — this is deep country, and that's the point.

Address: Latiano, Province of Brindisi, Puglia.. Directions coming soon — nearest airports and transfer details.
