Resort for Sale Cassano delle Murge, Contrada Cristo Fasano

Nestled in the rolling landscape of the Alta Murgia, halfway between Bari and Matera, this charming agritourism estate combines in a single property an established hospitality business, a private residence, restaurant, panoramic swimming pool and approximately 2.6 hectares of land. Designed for slow and experiential tourism, the estate attracts a loyal Italian and international clientele seeking nature, authenticity and local cuisine, far from mass tourism. Location The property is located in the countryside of Cassano delle Murge (Bari), about 5 km from the town center, 30 km from Bari and 35 km from Matera, with easy access to Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Castellana Grotte and Bari International Airport. It is set in the distinctive Alta Murgia landscape, surrounded by open countryside, olive trees and dry-stone walls, offering wide green views and star-filled skies while remaining well connected to major roads and tourist destinations in Puglia and Basilicata. Land and outdoor areas The estate extends over approximately 2.6 hectares, fully fenced with dry-stone walls and netting, partly arable and partly planted with trees. Around the buildings there are about 6,000 sqm of landscaped gardens, paved courtyards, shaded pergolas, a children’s play area, ample parking and a stone-framed panoramic swimming pool with solarium and surrounding green space. Buildings The main structure is a restored historic rural building arranged over three levels, designed to clearly separate private living areas from guest accommodation: Basement: technical room for the swimming pool systems and a large storage/utility space. Ground floor: two restaurant dining rooms (one featuring exposed stone and barrel vault), fully equipped professional kitchen, guest restrooms and the owners’ residence comprising living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, study, two bathrooms and laundry room. An additional independent suite with private outdoor space is also accessible from the exterior. First floor: four guest rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and covered panoramic terraces, ideal for outdoor seating or breakfast areas. The entire property is in excellent condition, fully furnished and immediately operational. Accommodation capacity The hospitality area currently offers five guest rooms (double, triple and quadruple), totaling approximately 14 beds. All rooms have private bathrooms and outdoor space; one room also includes a kitchenette, ideal for longer stays. Restaurant and agritourism activity The agribistrot operates mainly by reservation, with 14 fixed indoor seats and the possibility of hosting up to 60 guests for events using covered outdoor areas and porticos. The cuisine is rooted in traditional Apulian recipes, featuring locally sourced, zero-kilometer ingredients. Activities include weekend lunches and dinners, summer poolside light lunches and aperitifs, private events, small weddings, corporate gatherings and themed food-and-wine evenings. Business performance The hospitality business started as a B&B in 2018 and became a fully authorized agritourism operation in 2023. It operates year-round, with a natural slowdown during the colder months. Estimated annual guests for 2025 range between 1,000 and 1,200, based on strong 2024 performance and existing bookings. Occupancy reaches 75–85% in high season, with further growth potential, particularly in the international market. Marketing and reputation The estate is promoted through its own website, social media and major booking platforms (Booking.com, Agriturismo.it, Bed-and-Breakfast.it), consistently achieving ratings above 9/10 and excellent reviews for hospitality, cuisine and atmosphere. A solid base of repeat international guests supports strong word-of-mouth visibility. Utilities and systems The property features a multi-tank water collection system (rainwater and potable water), artesian well connection via a private network, Imhoff tank wastewater system, 15 kW three-phase electrical supply, full outdoor video surveillance, internal alarm system, LPG heating with underground tank, and solar thermal panels for hot water production. Legal status and sale terms The agritourism business is fully licensed and compliant with current regulations. The property is free of mortgages or liens, with complete documentation available for qualified buyers. The sale includes the entire real estate complex (land, buildings, swimming pool and outdoor areas), the agritourism and restaurant business with licenses, furnishings and professional kitchen equipment (excluding selected personal items). Asking price: €1,000,000, aligned with the local market for comparable agritourism estates and reflecting both asset value and proven profitability. An ideal opportunity for a family or couple seeking a lifestyle change, or for an investor looking for a turnkey agritourism property in Puglia, with further potential for events, international growth and season extension.
