I traveled to Puglia after hearing so much about how beautiful and magical this region of Italy is and it absolutely lived up to every expectation. What I didn’t expect was for my hotel experience to become one of the highlights of my entire trip.
This is so much more than a hotel, it is an experience in itself and a super luxurious and pampered one for that matter.
Francesco and his wonderful team have restored this magnificent masseria with extraordinary passion, care, and respect for its history. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered while preserving the soul and authenticity of the property. The rooms are stunning, with original stone arched ceilings, beautiful décor, and thoughtful touches throughout.
The grounds are equally breathtaking, with fruit trees, ancient olive groves, a vegetable garden, gorgeous landscaping and an amazing pool right in the middle of it all. The farm-to-table experience is exceptional. Maria Theresa runs an outstanding kitchen, where every dish is prepared with love, artistry, and passion, celebrating the wonderful flavors of Puglia.
What makes this masseria truly unforgettable, however, are the people. Francesco and his team are devoted and gracious hosts who make you feel like their number-one priority from arrival to checkout.
I came expecting a beautiful hotel and left feeling I had discovered a little piece of Puglian paradise. An unforgettable experience—I cannot wait to return!
