About Caroline
Caroline Groszer, Swiss born with economic background and passion for travelling, art and architecture, first came to Puglia in early 2000. The stunning landscape, the Mediterranean sea, the olive trees and the delicious food, but most of all the gentleness of the people made her rapidly decide to move permanently to the South, more precisely to Fasano, the very centre of Apulia.
Over time she bought antique buildings, such as farmhouses, townhouses, trulli or cube houses, restored them with respect to tradition and finally decorated them with luxury design furniture, photography and modern art. “Alchimia Collection” was born: charming holiday houses for the sophisticated traveller operating in Puglia since 2002.
The buildings are located between Fasano, Savelletri and Ostuni, a perfect home base to discover most of the highlights of Puglia, as well as very close to the beaches and at only 60km distance from each international airport, be it Bari or Brindisi. Alchimia works with the formula Apart-Hotel — meaning accommodation and daily room cleaning. Open all year round, the Masseria Alchimia hosts even beautiful weddings.
Last, but not least, the Alchimia concierge service with Masseria Alchimia Puglia Guide makes the difference for a wonderful stay.
