Masseria Potenti
A sixteenth century farm estate among olive groves and vineyards near Manduria, taken over privately for at least three nights, with whitewashed courtyards and room for up to two hundred and fifty guests.
Masseria Potenti is a restored sixteenth century masseria set in a large private estate of olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean scrub in the countryside near Manduria, close to the Ionian coast of Puglia. Its whitewashed buildings, courtyards and country gardens have the rustic elegance that draws couples to the heel of Italy.
It is hired exclusively, with a minimum stay of three nights, so a wedding here becomes a multi day gathering rather than a single afternoon. That suits a couple who want their guests to settle into the estate, share long lunches and dinners and make a holiday of the celebration. A Puglia planner manages the suppliers and the Italian paperwork.

Style and setting
The masseria is a fortified farmhouse in the Puglian tradition, its white walls and courtyards softened by gardens, a pool and the silver green of the surrounding olive groves and vines. The estate runs to well over a hundred hectares, giving the privacy and the sense of arrival that a destination celebration wants.
Capacity
The masseria hosts weddings of up to around two hundred and fifty guests across its courtyards and grounds, while its rooms sleep roughly forty to fifty five of the closest party on site. Confirm the exact seated figure for your layout and the room count with the masseria.
An exclusive multi day stay
Masseria Potenti is taken over exclusively, with a minimum stay of three nights and at least two food and drink events expected, so the wedding unfolds over several days of welcome dinners, the day itself and a farewell. It is built for a gathering rather than a single afternoon.
What it costs
Because the masseria is hired as a whole estate over several nights, with accommodation and multiple events included, a wedding here is a substantial budget rather than a simple venue fee. Rates are arranged case by case rather than published as a package, so request a quote for your dates and numbers. Treat all figures as indicative for August 2025.
