Where to stay
You’ll book your own place to stay, but we’ve handpicked a selection of nearby hotels and guesthouses to suit different budgets, all within 20 minutes of the disco. We’re recommending places that are friendly, stylish, and offer a taste of Puglia.
Getting around
Taxis are easily available throughout the weekend, including late at night, and we’ll have preferred suppliers familiar with the event.
You’ll be able to book taxis in advance or at the venue. Estimated costs:
Brindisi Airport → Venue
€90–€120 per car
Bari Airport → Venue
€160–€180 per car
Lecce → Venue
€30 per car
(Prices may vary depending on how many people are travelling together. We’ll share more info closer to the event.)
There are also cheap buses and trains that run from the airports into Lecce.
Day trips and activities
From wild beaches to sleepy hilltowns, local wine tastings to baroque marvels, Puglia is rich with detours worth taking.
We’ll be sharing a curated guide of our favourite places to eat, swim, shop and wander.
We don’t organise your transport – that’s part of the adventure – but we make it easy to plan your own.
On Saturday afternoon, you can join our free guided walking tour of Lecce, with architectural drama, gelato stops, and a bit of local history before heading back for the Masseria party.
There’ll also be optional activities at the venue – from massages to pasta-making classes – bookable as extras on arrival.
Pool access
The pool is the beating heart of the venue – a place to soak, socialise and stretch out in the sun.
Pool access is included on Friday for the pool party.
For Saturday and Sunday, you can book pool access separately for a small additional fee (unless you’re staying onsite, in which case you’re covered).
Dining
Food isn’t included in your ticket price, but it is available at the venue throughout the day and night. Menus are delicious and reasonably priced.
You can also book some meals in advance (extras will be available for ticket holders to buy shortly before the event):
A dinnertime feast on Friday in the cobblestone courtyard
A laid-back barbecue on the Saturday evening
We also encourage you to explore – we’ll recommend some brilliant local restaurants as part of the Event Guide. And many of the accommodation options we recommend are self-catering.
