    Masseria Brancati in Ostuni is a real jewel in the heart of Puglia, a place where history, nature and passion for the territory come together in a unique experience. Our visit was made even more special thanks to the professionalism and expertise of the Owner's son, who unfortunately can not remember the name, who welcomed us with great cordiality and guided us to discover this corner of paradise. The enthusiasm with which he explained the millennial history of the olive trees in the farm was contagious. Each tree seems to tell a story, and thanks to its detailed explanations we could understand the extraordinary importance of these natural monuments. The walk among the ancient olive trees was fascinating and evocative, a journey through time that left us speechless. The tasting of the oils produced by the Masseria was an unforgettable sensory experience. Each oil has a unique character, the result of a craftsmanship that respects tradition and maximizes the quality of the product. Our cicero guided us in this discovery with great professionalism, clearly explaining the characteristics of each variety and suggesting how to best appreciate them. We highly recommend a visit to Masseria Brancati not only for the beauty of the place and the quality of the products, but above all for the passion and dedication that shines through every word and gesture of the Owner's son. An experience that will remain in the heart.

    Masseria Brancati was the exact type of Olive Oil experience we were looking for on our trip to Puglia. It started with a tasting outside, followed by a tour of the olive trees and the surrounding farm area. There was much history to learn here and our guide, the owners son, kept the information interesting, while also making it fun and sharing some jokes. Everyone on the tour (some older kids were on ours as well), were engaged. He answered all questions and gave ample time to those of us who wanted to snap some photos. It is worth the trip to walk among the olive trees in the quiet calm of the farm. This experience felt authentic and not a sort of mass produced tourist tour. I highly suggest a stop here on your trip.

    Beautiful traditional Masseria with many olive trees over a thousand years old with historic pre-Roman mills and stores. Friendly and informative guide and olive oil tasting at the end. Even our 12 and 15 year old enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended

We spent 2 nights as B&B guests at the property and also joined a farm tour/oil tasting (included in the tariff). For those seeking a rustic/authentic masseria experience at a real, working farm - look no further. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and equipped with basic cooking facilities also. Breakfast (included in the tariff) was served in the olive grove, and on a day with inclement weather in the hosts' beautiful home.

The owners Corrado and Antonella are wonderful hosts, and treated us like family. The property is a slice of heaven. The tour itself, which is a major tourist magnet, is very informative and interesting with passionate and knowledgeable guides. Very high quality olive oils- a reflection of the love and dedication that has gone into running the farm while respecting age-old traditions dating back to Roman times.

We really appreciated the visit we had at the masseria. The visit lasts more than one hour and focuses on the olive trees of the masseria, the history of how olive oil was made in the past, and ends with a degustation of different olive oils. I advise you to call in advance, to register for a guided tour (14€/ pers), some of them are in English (several per days, but we were there in august so it might change)

This was an excellent experience from start to finish, organised for our small group ad part of a Puglia holiday.
We started with a short walk round the olive groves themselves, seeing various trees of note and learning about the history and biology of the trees. Fascinating! Then we were taken around the buildings, starting with a history lesson in the underground area about how oil pressing changed over the centuries from Greek times onwards. Finally, we had a blind tasting experience together with an explanation of the different types of oil.
All parts of the tour were excellent, largely down to the knowledge and sheer enthusiasm of the hosts, who I’m assuming were the owner and his son. It is lovely to see people who are so passionate about their life and work, even down to individual trees!
We then had the chance to buy some of the oil, which is both excellent and well priced.

Touring the Puglia region of Italy and we stopped in here for a interesting history of olive oil production and the Masseria. Our guide, Pietro Gallone, could not have been more hospitable. Well versed in English, he took us on a tour of the olive trees, some dating back over 2500 years. Then to the ancient underground olive press and more modern ones in the Masseria. Finally a tasting of the olive oils produced. Well worth a visit if on the region.

What an interesting and extensive tour with the nicest guide! The history of this olive tree farm is told in a pleasant way. How production used to be. Lots of humor and without haste. Surprisingly beautiful here. World famous people have also been here, we won't reveal anything, just ask the guide. Recommended!

ENGLISH:
Kind family with very polite, attentive and patient son Domenico who takes you on a tour of the masseria. The tour is very enjoyable and instructive. You begin with the olive trees, which are pieces of art, then move indoors inside the hypogeum, then end it with an olive oil tasting under the 800 year old pine tree. The olive oils are of very high quality and can satisfy any palate, with 4 different levels of intensity, all award-winning. Look out for the cats who sleep in the most extravagant positions!

(I’m uploading only one picture so as not to spoil the experience)

ITALIAN:
Famiglia gentile con figlio Domenico molto cortese, attento e paziente che fa da guida per il tour della masseria. Il tour è molto piacevole ed istruttivo. Inizi con gli alberi d’olivo, che sono pezzi d’arte, poi vi spostate nell’ipogeo e finite con la degustazione sotto un pino di 800 anni. Gli oli d’oliva sono di altissima qualità e possono soddisfare ogni palato, con 4 livelli differenti d’intensità, tutti premiati! Tenete un occhio aperto per i gatti che dormono in posizioni stravaganti.

Although Trip Advisor states that this is closed, it is open -- BY APPOINTMENT. We called the day before to schedule a tour and olive oil tasting. They were very nice and said they were limiting the number of people on the tours due to COVID. We booked the mid afternoon tour the next day. We arrived and had to be buzzed in the gate. We wore masks. Our tour was 6 people. The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and we learned a lot about the history of olive oil in Italy and specifically this region surrounding Ostuni. We then had a private tasting and learned a lot about tasting olive oil and we were able to ask questions about buying, storing, using the oils. Very informative. We were able to buy smaller cans of oil there. If you'd like larger bottles, they will ship directly to you. Loved our time there and the grove of olive trees is stunning - some trees dating back 3000 years!

We were happy to see that the olive oil vineyard had not been effected by the disease that has ravaged most of souther Puglia. We were able to hear about the amazing history of the olive trees dating back to the Roman times around 3000 years ago. The oil was used to light the lanterns not to eat while was fascinating and it was harvested by slaves which was sad. We would highly recommend this tour and definitely buy their virgin olive oil as its fantastic.

The tour we took at Masseria Brancati was amazing - the tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable. We learned so much about olive oil and got to roam through the beautiful olive groves. the olive oil we tasted was incredible. Highly recommend a visit here if you're in Puglia.

So glad I stumbled upon this Olive farm which is not advertised or marketed at all. Word of mouth is how visitors find it. 7th generation family run farm with olive trees up to 3000 years old. Original rustic experience clean and comfortable. Delightful breakfast with homemade preserves. Toasted almonds from farm. Informative tour of ancient production facilities and olive oil tasting included in B&B rate. An experience you will always remember. Direct sale of olive oil, can be shipped also. Thank you Corrado, wife and team for a thoroughly wonderful experience
