Castello Monastero

Castello Federico wedding reception

A 16th century Italian castle surrounded by thousands of olive trees and a sweeping vineyard, Castello Monastero’s dream-like atmosphere is one of Apulia's most coveted wine resorts. A refreshing wedding venue that stands out from the traditional masserias in Apulia.

The castle brings the best of both Apulian worlds by being set perfectly into the countryside, while still near the sandy white beaches.  A unique, regal and timeless place to hold an unforgettable wedding in Apulia

The castle's courtyards, lush gardens and endless corridors, allows for stunning reception and ceremony options. Guests can stay in the luxurious rooms of the castle or inside the rustic-chic restructured farmhouse.

The castle is outfitted with historic artwork and unique antiques and the Le Scuderie -the stables, have been restored to create a creative dialogue between ancient and modern architecture.  The castle boasts its own on-site farm and wine museum, which will take you through the wine making history of Salento. What else would you expect with over 200 hectors of vineyards? 

A place from the past that hosts the future.
