History of
Masseria Gemini
Masseria Gemini is a magic place located in the heart of Salento. The Masseria dates back to the 17th century and was originally constructed in the countryside on the outskirts of a small village named Gemini in the province of Lecce. As the village gradually developed into a town and expanded its boundaries, the Masseria found itself increasingly situated within the town's perimeters and now resides nearly in the center.
Initially intended to be an animal farm and the residence for the farmers, Masseria Gemini at a later stage became also a place for the production of wine.
The Discovery
In our ongoing quest to discover distinctive and exclusive properties for renovation and transformation into luxurious residences, we came across Masseria Gemini—a true hidden gem with an extraordinary history, charm, and an exceptional location.
Situated right in the heart of the vibrant town of Gemini, this property is offering convenient access to all amenities within walking distance and it is also a mere 8 km away from the renowned beaches of Torre San Giovanni, often referred to as the "Maldives of Italy."
Despite its unassuming exteriors, the moment we stepped through the front door, we were utterly captivated by the sheer magnificence, expansive spaces, and intricate details of Masseria Gemini.

About us
After spending numerous years residing abroad, we yearned to discover a location where we could establish deep roots, offer our children a closer bond with my country of origin and a place that holds cherished memories for my wife since her college days.
From the very first moment we set foot in this region, we sensed an extraordinary connection with its people, their rich traditions, and the awe-inspiring locations steeped in history.
Motivated by this profound connection, we made the decision to revive a truly exceptional place, a haven where we could create lasting memories with our loved ones.
In addition, we aspired to share our experience with others who are interested in restoring these historic buildings to their original splendor.
As a result, Salento Investments came into being—a company dedicated to providing guidance and support for individuals interested in exploring, developing, and managing investments in the captivating region of Puglia.
