Masseria Badessa is a privately owned estate catering to the most discerning clients seeking a travel experience which is discreet, off-the-radar, and ultra-luxurious.
The estate is “stealth” as a strategic choice – it is never advertised in any travel publication and does not appear on AirBNB or any other online travel sites. Our clients demand the utmost in privacy and exclusivity, and they find it in this timeless oasis nestled in the tranquility of the Italian countryside. The perfect intersection of history, modernity, and luxury.
Aspiring towards regenerative tourism, Masseria Badessa represents a monumental restoration of the fortified farmhouse to reinvigorate its historical and cultural significance. We are nearly 100% self-sufficient using clean, renewable energy; more than 400 trees, plants, and bushes have been added across the estate; and our practices improve the environmental, social, and economic prosperity of the local community.
