HOSPITALITY EXCHANGE

We would be happy to welcome you, and later on, we would love to be hosted by you. This way, the exchange becomes a reciprocal experience, focused on sharing and discovery.

Services and Benefits

IRRIGATION SYSTEM

We need help and materials to install an irrigation system.

Miscellaneous

NURSERY PLANTS

Giardino Frannicola is known for its beautiful garden, which we’re always looking to enrich with new plants. This year, we’re especially looking for myrtle, grapevines for a pergola, mastic trees, lantanas, plenty of bignonias, and trees native to Salento.

Miscellaneous

OPEN-AIR GALLERY

Along the entrance avenue, we want to create an open-air gallery. We invite artists, particularly those from Puglia, to bring works that tell the story of, interpret or reimagine the soul of Salento. We hope Giardino Frannicola will become a vibrant, ever-evolving space where contemporary artistic expression meets the history of the masseria. A gallery without walls, open to the sky and the changing seasons, that captures the beating heart of Salento: its energy, its roots, its beauty and, above all, the people who call it home.

Photos and Video

PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICE AND/OR DRONE SERVICES

We are in the process of redesigning our website and would be happy to host you in exchange for a professional photo shoot in various formats for our site and social media, as well as outdoor drone footage.

Food & Drink

QUALITY HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTS

We welcome any proposal. ;)

The property

As soon as you pass through the gate of Giardino Frannicola, you are greeted by a magical atmosphere: a lush garden where vibrant trees and flowers create a tranquil corner that gently leads you to the authentic beauty of the property. Located in the historic center of Maglie, just minutes away from the most famous spots in Salento, this retreat offers a refined and genuine experience, deeply immersed in the culture and traditions of the region.

The establishment arises from the careful restoration of an ancient farmhouse and welcomes guests into three elegant and bright rooms, adorned with Lecce stone and Trani marble. Each space features unique tones and details, with furnishings made of wrought iron, olive wood, and terracotta that convey a timeless and essential beauty. The private terraces provide ideal spaces to relax in silence, surrounded by the scents of citrus fruits and aromatic herbs.

Giardino Frannicola is the realized dream of an Italian-French couple who chose to live in Salento to share its wonders. Guests are discreetly guided in discovering the most authentic places, including underground olive mills, boat excursions, and hidden spots to enjoy the region’s most sincere cuisine.

Every morning, breakfast is enjoyed at a renowned pastry shop just a short walk away, with a voucher provided by the property: it's the perfect opportunity to try the local pasticciotto and iced coffee with almond milk, recommended by those who know the local flavors well.

Maglie serves as an excellent starting point for exploring Salento: on one side are the cliffs of the Adriatic, and on the other, the beaches of the Ionian Sea, along with charming villages, farms, archaeological sites, and a cuisine that reflects the region's generosity. A stay at Giardino Frannicola invites you to slow down, listen, and be inspired.
