Tenuta Monacelli
Tenuta Monacelli is a large-scale wedding venue in Puglia, set within 400 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and woodland in the heart of Salento. Made up of two historic masserias — Masseria Monacelli and Masseria Giampaolo — the estate feels like a private hamlet, offering space, privacy and a strong sense of place.
The style is rooted in traditional southern Italian architecture, with pale stone buildings, generous outdoor areas and calm, open surroundings. This makes Tenuta Monacelli particularly well suited to couples planning a destination wedding in Puglia with multiple events spread across the estate, from ceremonies and receptions to relaxed gatherings over several days.
The venue can host weddings of up to 200 guests, with both indoor and outdoor spaces available across the two masserias. On-site accommodation includes 2 estates, 25 rooms and suites, sleeping 72 guests, allowing close family and friends to stay within the estate, while further accommodation is available nearby.
Tenuta Monacelli is located just a few kilometres from Lecce and the beaches of the Salento coast, and approximately 29 minutes from Brindisi Airport, making it an accessible yet peaceful choice for international couples seeking a Puglia wedding venue with character and scale.
