Welcome to Masseria Serra dell'Isola
"Serra dell'Isola" is a charming masseria, a manor house surrounded by secular olive trees. It’s situated in Pozzovivo countryside, on a hill 4 Km from Adriatic sea in the neighbours of Mola di Bari, a pleasant little town in the heart of Apulia.
The masseria is the ideal point of departure for many interesting excursions among Romanesque cathedrals, Norman, Swabian, and Angevin castles, like those in Bari, Conversano and Mola, as well as intact medieval villages, like Polignano, Ancient Bari Monopoli.
Its18th century architecture has been preserved. The core of "Serra dell'Isola" is the lamione (great voult), a stone-built room, once used as frantoio (olive mill), serving as a large living room.
Its meter thick walls provide cool shelter during hot summers and warm cover in winter time, with the smell of the firewood burning in the many terracotta stoves and in the walk in fireplace.
