As already mentioned, Masseria Luce has
an ideal location being just minutes from the State Road#16
which connects the north Bari area with the Salento,
territories rich of art, history and tradition where you can
admire the old medieval sites, stunning cathedrals in
Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque style, castles and masserias.
It is really easy and quick from Masseria Luce to reach the
nearby towns and attractions:

And so many other places and things to

site for its “sassi” (once inhabited rock shelters), in the
region of Lucania, which is about two hours drive and

Passion”, a very suggestive experience.
