How Much a Team Building in Puglia Costs: the Real Numbers, Format by Format

Try searching for how much a team building in Puglia costs: you will find dozens of pages from agencies and venues, and almost no prices. "Budget to be agreed", "tailored quote", "contact us". It is understandable, because every group is different, but it leaves the organiser without an order of magnitude to decide on. This guide lines up the numbers actually found on the Puglia market, says what they include and what they do not, and states ours, because we believe a company deserves to know before it writes.

The three items that make up the price

Any team building is paid for in three parts, even when the quote merges them into a single figure.

1. The venue: the hall, the outdoor spaces, exclusive use where offered. In a hotel it is the meeting room by the hour; at a masseria it is the day.
2. The activity and the facilitation: the format (cooking class, treasure hunt, murder mystery dinner, workshop), who runs it, the materials.
3. The meals: coffee breaks, lunch, dinner, drinks. It is the item most often underestimated.

To these are added, where relevant, overnight accommodation and the transfer.

The benchmarks on the Puglia market

• Team building agencies (the DMCs of Salento and Bari) do not publish price lists. From the quotes in circulation, a half-day format for 20 people sits between 60 and 120 € per person for the activity alone, with no venue and no meals.
• Resorts with a MICE division sell the package: hall, activity, lunch. They generally start from 120-150 € per person for the day, and climb quickly once accommodation is added.
• International offsite programmes in Puglia, designed for teams of 50 and up, declare between 150 and 350 € per person per day, all inclusive except the flight.
• The luxury properties of the Valle d'Itria exceed 450 € per person per night.

The range is wide because what is inside changes. The right way to compare two quotes is to ask of each: is the venue exclusive? is the activity tailored or from a catalogue? are meals included? and accommodation?

Our prices, stated

At Masseria Montanari, in Carpignano Salentino, we offer three formats. Prices are indicative, per person, with meals included and the masseria in exclusive use: you would be the only group present.

| Format | What it includes | Per person | |---|---|---| | Evening | a meat dinner over the fire (barbecue or pignata, the traditional Salento terracotta pot) and a convivial activity, for example the murder mystery dinner with a made-to-measure script | from 95 € | | Half day | a block of team activities (communication, trust, collaboration, problem solving, creativity) and a sit-down meal | from 135 € | | Full Experience | a whole day with a guiding thread, activities that connect to one another, a wellbeing moment at sunset and dinner | from 180 € |

The precise quote depends on the number of people, the timings and the activities chosen. Overnight accommodation in the six lodgings (up to 16 sleeping places) and the transfer are added separately. For a group of 15, a Full Experience with one night at the masseria generally sits between 220 and 260 € per person: below the lower threshold of the international programmes, with a house entirely for the team.

Where you really save (and where you do not)

You save by choosing the season: spring and autumn cost less than summer and are the best months for working. You save by coming on a weekday and staying close to the office, because a two-hour transfer weighs more than it seems. You save with the spaces-only rental option, if you already have an in-house trainer.

You do not save by cutting the facilitation: an activity without someone running it is a game, not team building. And you do not save on meals, because it is at the table that the group really gets to know itself.

What a day people remember is worth

A team building at 150 € per person for 15 people costs as much as two days of consultancy. The difference lies in the guiding thread: an experience built around your line of work, with activities that speak to one another, stays in the office stories for months. It is the criterion we suggest you choose by, before price.

For a proposal on your group, the Companies page has a form with four questions; we usually reply within a day. Those looking for the house for several days will also find prices on the whole masseria page.
