Wedding in Masseria Cervarolo, Ostuni (BR)

Nestled in a relaxing hilly landscape near Ostuni, Masseria Cervarolo is a sixteenth-century farmhouse converted into an elegant country residence, today an important and refined wedding location.

The restoration work, which lasted more than five years, was carried out in absolute respect of the original Apulian architecture using materials recovered from the farmhouse itself: chianche, chiancarelle, blocks of limestone, etc. Furthermore, three rooms are located inside three trulli, the typical rural buildings of Puglia included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The legend of Masseria Cervarolo

Like many Apulian farmhouses, the buildings were built and changed over the centuries according to cultivation and production practices. The toponym ‘Cervarolo’ originates from the presence of deer on the last offshoots of the Murgia when they were covered by dense woodland (in italian “cervo” means “deer”).

Great importance is recognized to the artistic and cultural heritage, an example of which is the meticulous restoration of the 1798 church with a baroque altar and numerous frescoes, annexed to the Masseria.

Furthermore, legends are linked to the Masseria Cervarolo that have made it a place of pilgrimage for those seeking serenity. It is said that, in the area of ​​the masseria, spring arrives a few weeks early and that the farmers in the surrounding area regulate agricultural activities by virtue of this “phenomenon”.
