Fresh Laundry and Stubborn Stains: The Secret of Masseria Berzario

If you’re seeking an authentic experience at a Salento masseria, where tradition blends seamlessly with modern comfort, Masseria Berzario is the perfect destination for you.

 

Nestled in the heart of Puglia, our establishment is not just a place to stay and enjoy the unspoiled landscape, but a true haven where the past comes to life through the daily rituals and care we offer our guests.

We pay attention to every small detail!

One of the distinctive elements of Masseria Berzario is the attention we give to our linen. Here, where sustainability and attention to detail are fundamental aspects of our lifestyle, we handle laundry in the traditional way, just as it was done in the past.

 

The laundry is washed directly on-site, using natural, eco-friendly methods.

 

We avoid harsh chemicals, opting instead for eco-friendly detergents that provide a deep clean without compromising the quality of fabrics or the health of our guests.

 

A unique feature of our laundry approach is sun drying. In every organic masseria in Puglia, the sun’s energy isn’t just a source of warmth, but an essential element that infuses the fabrics with a distinctive fresh and clean scent.

 

Each item is hung outdoors and left to dry naturally under the Puglian sun. The result? Sheets and towels carry the scent of nature, offering a unique sensation of freshness.

 

This practice, which may seem like a minor detail, significantly enhances the overall experience we offer our guests, giving them an authentic sense of well-being, as if they were at home.

But what about those stubborn stains?

How do we handle those difficult-to-remove marks that seem to resist any detergent?

At Masseria Berzario, we rely on traditional wisdom and grandmother’s remedies.

Generations of passed-down knowledge have taught us that, in some cases, the best way to tackle impossible stains is to return to the basics: the boiling method.

After a thorough initial wash, we boil the laundry at 90 degrees, a process that ensures the removal of the toughest stains while sterilising the fabrics, all the while maintaining their softness and freshness.

Boiling laundry isn’t just a remedy for stains; it’s a connection to the past, a way of keeping traditions alive, and a reminder of how important it is to care for the small things—even something as simple as laundry.

This is exactly what we do at Masseria Berzario: we preserve and celebrate those small rituals that make life at the masseria so unique and special.

If you wish to experience the authenticity of masseria life, surrounded by the beauty of the Puglian landscape, Masseria Berzario in Melendugno awaits you.
