A little history
A fortified farmhouse built against pirates.
Masserie are Puglia’s fortified farmhouses, built from the 16th century with thick walls and watchtowers against raids from the sea. Torre Maizza is one of them, its tower still rising over the whitewashed courtyards.
Restored by Rocco Forte Hotels, it is now a resort with rooms around the courtyards, gardens among the olive trees and a beach club a short drive away.
For a bride, a masseria means bright white walls and deep shade in turns. We plan a satin base that holds detail in both, and time courtyard portraits for the softer late-afternoon light.

The wedding day
A typical Torre Maizza wedding day.
- 08:00
Team sets up in a courtyard suite
We ask for a room with good window light and a second room close by for family makeup, so the bride’s room stays calm.
- 09:30
Mothers and family first
Family looks run in parallel with the bridal skin prep, timed so nobody waits in the corridor.
- 11:30
Bride’s skin prep and base
Hydration, primer and a base built for white walls in bright sun and deep shade.

Function by function
Matching each look to a Torre Maizza setting.
Mehendi on the gardens
Bright Mediterranean light and real heat. A light, sweat-resistant base, cream colour on the cheeks and a cool, high hairstyle.
Sangeet on the main courtyard
Sea air and evening humidity. A matte-satin base that will not slide, sculpted eyes and a style that holds through hours of dancing.
Pheras at a whitewashed courtyard
Sun reflecting off the sea and white stone. Long-wear, humidity-proof products, no heavy highlighter and the dupatta fixed against wind.
Reception at the courtyard by candlelight
Warm night light over the water. A refreshed base, a deeper lip and lashes that still read in candle-lit photographs.
Tejaswini
Your artist at Torre Maizza

Torre Maizza questions
Bridal makeup at Masseria Torre Maizza.
Do you provide Indian bridal makeup at Masseria Torre Maizza?
Yes. Tejaswini’s team flies from India for weddings at Masseria Torre Maizza and covers each function for the bride, family and bridal party. The team’s flights, Schengen visas and rooms are paid by the family.
Is Masseria Torre Maizza suitable for a large wedding?
It suits mid-sized weddings; larger families sometimes combine it with a neighbouring resort.

How do white walls affect makeup?
