Masseria Appidè (“Masseria” means “a large farm”) is an XVIII century residence in Corigliano d’Otranto, in the heart of the Salento hinterland. The term “Appidè” comes from that of a particular variety of wild pear called “appidés” by the ancient Greek populations – this very pear grows abundant and spontaneously within the Masseria.
Born as a defensive watchtower, the Castle of Corigliano d’Otranto was later purchased by the Barons Comi di Martano, who transformed it into their private summer residence.
It then became a prestigious tourist resort, when the stables, the service buildings and the old warehouses were transformed into beautiful rooms and halls, featuring star and barrel ceilings.
The garden, flanked by a stone colonnade, is made of a parterre of geometric boxwood flower beds, shaded by some Magnolia grandiflora and other beautiful trees.
