The agriturismo

Looking for a remote getaway or a countryside base from which to experience Puglia's undiscovered wonders? Masseria Pilapalucci is in Toritto, near the National Park of Alta Murgia, 15 miles away from Bari, Italy. There are many internationally acclaimed tourist sites within easy reach of Masseria Pilapalucci like Matera, Ruvo and Altamura.

The D’Urso Family has owned Pilapalucci for several centuries. The beauty of the historical Farmhouse is given by its singular ancient a pignon style.
At Masseria Pilapalucci, most of our land is dedicated to growing organic almonds and organic olives for extra virgin oil.  Our almonds are used by select bakeries in Europe. Shelled organic almonds are available in moderate to large quantities. Our wonderful almond oil is appreciated worldwide.

We also export extra virgin olive oil, using a cold press, which is a more expensive but higher quality process. Our extra virgin olive oil  has been selected by Slow Food for the Guide to the Best Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Masseria Pilapalucci is a founding member of the Praesidium of Slow Food  “Mandorla di Toritto” The Praesidium promotes the delicious local almonds named “Filippo Cea” and “Antonio Devito”.

The accommodation

The historical Countryhouse Masseria Pilapalucci, in Toritto, Apulia, is in an enchanting  landscape, at the crossroad of ancient sheepways, not far from Altamura and midway between Bari and Matera From the XVI century has belonged to the D’Urso Family and  once had the function to defend a vast territory.

The ancient horses’ yard, the tower, the walls bring the mind to noble knights and a lady as Maria Amalia D’urso, who three centuries ago provided the dowry to hundreds of poor girls.
Today this masseria hosts an agritourism and farmstay,  aimed to provide excellet food and wellness. It is Praesidium Slow Food “Almond of Toritto”. Famed are the almond cookies.

The bedrooms, with terrace over the National Park of Alta Murgia, are finely furnished.  The spectacular dining room is located in the ancient horses’ stables, now completely restored.
