BOSCO FARMHOUSE    16th Century Farmhouse - Prestigious Accommodation - Avetrana (TA) - PUGLIA  -    Two kilometers north of Avetrana stands the beautiful Masseria Bosco, 75 meters above sea level, on the old road that connected Oria to Erchie. On April 22, 1797, King Ferdinand IV of Naples stayed at Masseria Bosco, traveling along the "Regio Passaturo" on his way to Lecce. Documents date its construction to the 16th century. The splendid Masseria Strazzati is located 500 meters away. The two Masserie, properties of rare beauty, are connected to each other and are owned by the same family group. They are located at the center of the 120-hectare agricultural estate, immersed in the Apulian landscape among vineyards and centuries-old olive trees, white beaches, crystal-clear sea and a thousand-year-old historical heritage. Among the most famous beaches are the Dunes of Campomarino, Punta Prosciutto (considered one of the most beautiful in the world), Salina dei Monaci, San Pietro in Bevagna with the Chidro River Nature Reserve and Campomarino di Maruggio with the Tourist Port and the dunes of fine sand. Avetrana and many surrounding towns, from a cultural point of view, boast fascinating historic centers, with noble palaces, ancient churches and evocative streets, and throughout the year, cultural and folkloristic events are organized that celebrate local tradition and history.   Masseria Bosco and Masseria Strazzati are well-established accommodations that have built up a significant clientele over the years.
