Highlights

Event options for your day

Couples can exchange vows in one of the masseria’s scenic outdoor ceremony spaces—among ancient olive trees that shimmer silver in the sunlight, or in the more intimate setting of the inner courtyard enclosed by soft white walls. These settings are ideal for symbolic ceremonies, while nearby churches in Fasano and Savelletri offer beautiful options for religious weddings. Those seeking civil ceremonies may have their legal marriage officiated at the local town hall before heading back to the masseria for the party. 

The reception possibilities are equally enchanting. The central courtyard, dressed up with string lights and candles, creates a magical open-air dining experience where long tables, abundant flowers and Mediterranean décor come together to form the perfect setting. For couples seeking an indoor alternative—or a poetic Plan B—the restored former oil mill provides a warm space, framed by rustic arches and stone textures. As night falls, the celebration often flows to the elegant pool area for dancing under the stars. Whether guided by your own vision or shaped with the expertise of a dedicated destination wedding planner, Masseria San Nicola offers boundless possibilities.

The unmistakable Puglian soul

The land surrounding Masseria San Nicola rolls on like a living tapestry boasting Mediterranean colors and life. Take for example the ancient olive groves stretching all the way to the horizon, protecting the masseria like a spiritual army, providing the beautiful scenario with their silver leaves and soft sunlinght, so magical for sunset vows, or quiet moments between lovers. 

A short drive away, the Adriatic Sea, a canvas of beauty and wilderness, worshipped by locals and sailors alike. Make a stop in the charming fishing village of Savelletri worth a visit for its quintessential scenery—be prepared to stick to your camera and make hundreds of shots of the cute white boats rocking in crystal waters, sandy and rocky beaches, or visit one of the waterfront restaurants, that can very well suit pre-wedding gatherings. 

Inland, the countryside slowly transitions into the hilly Itria Valley. You may have heard already of its famous hilltop towns—Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo—all white trademarks of Puglia offering postcard-perfect backdrops, you won't have enough of their winding lanes, stone arches, and panoramic terraces.

Recreational activities

A deep connection to the land

Amongst the wealth of options available in this piece of Puglia for couples and their guests, pre and post wedding, you should always start by the neighbouring village of Savelletri. An invitation to slow down by walking along its peaceful coastline, or clear your busy minds with a day at one of its chic beach clubs. Regardless, here is your chance to appreciate the sun-drenched culture of the region and connect with the turquoise water element. Later in the day, gather up your crew just in time for aperitivo and a delicious seafood stop to please your buds. 

Get a rental or let your destination wedding planner organise a van option to explore the treasures of the inland. Head over to the Itria Valley, the beating heart of Puglia where you will be busy walking up and down the alleyways of UNESCO-listed Alberobello, famous for its iconic trulli, and the gleaming white Ostuni. Your  day will fly by as you savour in the beauty of the landscape and the vibrant atmosphere of local artisan shops full of charm. 

And there's so much more. Wine tours, cooking time, olive oil tasting and lots of eating. Let the Puglian people spoil you as you learn of their absolute devotion to their land and living traditions.
