Hot on the heels of 2023 hit show I Kissed a Boy comes this yearâs I Kissed a Girl. Once again hosted by Dannii Minogue, it launched on 5 May 2024 on both BBC3 and iplayer. The premise is simple. Dannii Minogue is playing cupid to girls who like girls! 10 women are matched into pairs and told to start their relationship with a kiss before getting to know each other. The BBC told us from the start to expect âgripping love stories, sizzling drama, jaw-dropping outfits and a shiny new Italian masseria.â And, the first few episodes are certainly proving popular amongst TV audiences.
But itâs not just the love stories that are getting everyone hooked. Viewers are also falling hook, line and sinker for the beautiful I Kissed a Girl masseria in which the girls are staying. And that doesn’t surprise us one bit! The setting for the show is an incredible Italian masseria in Puglia, right down in the heel of Italy. And for those that arenât familiar with what a masseria isâŚ? Basically, itâs best described as a farmhouse found in the Puglia region. They typically date back to the 16th century and are oozing with character.
The property is just a short drive from the seaside town of Polignano a Mare. But the I Kissed a Girl masseria is also in the middle of olive groves and vineyards. In short, it’s the best of both worlds. Close to the beaches but in the idyllic rural landscape of Puglia. The huge swimming pool is frequently the centrepiece of filming, as is the rooftop terrace for more intimate scenes.
But there is so much that viewers donât get to see on the show. And how do we know that? Well, in short, because, Bookings For You offers holidaymakers the chance to try out the I Kissed a Girl masseria for themselves! We know this Italian villa inside and out. In fact, we were only there a few months ago enjoying a visit in the October sunshine.
The show may only give viewers glimpses into this incredible property but Bookings For You can give you a full tour. We’ll show you the spaces you donât get to see on TV! What is more, we can reveal the producers have clearly changed some elements of the property to suit the show. For one thing, we can promise that paying guests staying here with Bookings For You wonât be in dorm style accommodation like on the show!
In fact, divided into a number of different apartments and suites, the I Kissed a Girl masseria can sleep up to 16 guests across 8 bedrooms. Each bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom and each is unique in its style. There are a plethora of living areas, beautifully furnished. And each apartment also has its own fully equipped kitchen too. It’s a layout that works brilliantly for groups of families or friends travelling together. You all have the benefits of being together whilst still enjoying plenty of privacy. The decor is elegant and yet rural, in keeping with its history. Outside, the huge swimming pool is the centrepiece of the main garden. But there is also an additional smaller pool set to the side of the masseria as well as a luxury hydro-massage jacuzzi. Not to mention numerous terraces and outdoor seating areas. Definitely think five-star hotel rather than a self-catering holiday rental.
