Masseria Chinunno

Altamura, Puglia

Family Retreat in Murgia Sanctuary

Located at the edge of the Alta Murgia National Park, Masseria Chinunno was once a humble farmhouse serving shepherds and farmers who lived close to the rhythms of the land. Today, it has been reborn as a rural retreat that still breathes the air of tradition, while offering guests a tranquil space to slow down and reconnect. Surrounded by open fields, oak groves, and grazing horses, the masseria preserves its limestone walls and rustic bones, enhanced by warm hospitality and the honest charm of the Apulian countryside.


What Makes It Special: Silence, Nature, and the Scent of Earth

At Masseria Chinunno, luxury means wide horizons, honest food, and a deep sense of place. Rooms are simple but inviting, with natural textures, stone floors, and windows that open onto olive trees, horses, and endless sky. Some accommodations are in restored trulli, the iconic conical dwellings that speak of Puglia’s rural heritage.

The masseria’s cuisine is at the heart of the experience. Most ingredients come from its own land: vegetables, grains, olive oil, and meats are grown or raised sustainably. Meals are rich in tradition and flavor, served in the shade of the garden or by the fire in cooler months.

There’s also a small stable, nature trails, and open fields perfect for slow walks or quiet moments with a book. The Murgia doesn’t rush you, and neither does this place.

Location

From Masseria Chinunno, you step directly into one of southern Italy’s last untamed landscapes. The Alta Murgia National Park unfolds in waves of golden grasses, dry-stone walls, and fossil-strewn plains. Just minutes away lies Gravina in Puglia, with its stone-carved homes and deep canyon, and the cinematic town of Altamura, famous for its ancient bread and cathedral.
Don’t miss the Pulicchio di Gravina, a vast doline that opens unexpectedly in the earth, or follow shepherd trails across the plateau, where falcons glide and silence stretches far.
Here in the Murgia, the land itself tells stories, and Masseria Chinunno is a peaceful front-row seat.
