Masseria Sant'Aniello
Puglia, Italy
Masseria Sant'Aniello is a fortified farmhouse with origins in the 13th century, built under the Order of Malta. It sits in the Puglian countryside surrounded by ancient olive trees, facing the Mediterranean to the east and the mountains to the west.
The masseria comprises approximately 2,000 m² of built fabric: thick stone walls, cross-vaulted ceilings, a ground floor that once served as food depot and stabling, and a primary floor above. Each space carries a different character — a consequence of the building's protective, additive logic over centuries.
Augustii has overseen the conversion of the main house into a private family home, together with the transformation of the surrounding farm buildings into guest accommodation, exhibition space, and a new spa and pool complex built within the structure of the former farm buildings. Gardens have been designed in response to the existing landscape of olives, stone walls and Mediterranean scrub.
