Among the beaches and the majestic Puglia rock formations, near the ‘trulli’ (cylindrical homes with cone roofs) of Alberobello, the countryside around the Itria Valley, the art city of Conversano, the Castellana grottoes, the white city of Ostuni, Castel del Monte, the stone formations of Matera, Salento, the little rock churches – a stay in one of the many hospitable ‘masserie’ manor farms in Puglia is ideal for those who wish to explore the beauties of this region.

You are spoilt for choice, with the historical San Tommaso residence in the splendid setting of Polignano a Mare where the glass walls in its splendid tower suite allow you to admire the extraordinary effect of the wonder of a starry sky while being lulled by the marine breeze.

Or the San Martino ‘masseria’ manor farm where you can savour the best organic products, such as the San Martino extra-virgin olive oil and enjoy relaxation in the swimming pool with salty water and a hydro-massage corner, surrounded by secular olive trees.

Ancient olive trees that are over 400 years old also surround the Salamina Masseria, so-called since 1600 when it was a fortified building, and having undergone various re-buildings and changes during the course of the centuries.  The chapel was also rebuilt in 1792, enlarging an existing ruined church.  Situated in the middle of a citrus orchard and an almond tree grove, it allows you to have an original experience with direct contact with nature, being set in the beautiful surroundings of a wonderful garden.

You can also choose the exclusive 5-star Borgobianco Resort & Spa Hotel if you prefer the attraction of a luxury resort. Here, you can savour delicate Mediterranean flavours and aromas, relishing the best of a fine collection of wines. There is a sophisticated wellness centre for renewal of body and mind here, where you can regain the harmony within yourselves through exclusive and relaxing treatments. The enchanting, beautiful shoreline can be reached by land while, by boat, it is possible to explore little hidden inlets and all the marine grottoes of the wonderful Puglia coastline. You are spoilt for choice with itineraries for your excursions aboard ‘Monny’, a fascinating and exclusive Liguria ‘gozzo’ fishing boat or ‘Rapanui’, a comfortable sailing sloop.
