The Masseria Cimino is a charming 18th-century fortified masseria (farmhouse), now converted into an intimate 4-star luxury hotel located in the countryside of Fasano (Puglia), just steps from the Adriatic coast. Part of the Borgo Egnazia group, the structure stands out for the authenticity of its rural architecture, elegant simplicity, and relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and golf courses, it is a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and wishing to immerse themselves in the region’s most genuine spirit.
The rooms, created from the ancient farmers' quarters and stables, maintain a rustic charm with vaulted ceilings and revisited arte povera style furnishings. Each room is unique and offers essential yet refined comfort, without the opulence of traditional hotels. The accommodations do not have TV to ensure a total disconnection, but are all equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Ground-floor rooms offer a private patio overlooking the countryside or the sea.
Masseria Cimino is famous for its cuisine based on the concept of Zero Kilometer. Most ingredients, including vegetables, fruit, olive oil, and eggs, come from the organic farm attached to the masseria. Meals, served in a convivial atmosphere (often at a single communal table), follow ancient Apulian peasant recipes. The rich breakfast buffet is served under the portico and includes fresh produce and homemade pastries. Another distinctive element is the dovecote tower, where a small private dining room is located.
The hotel boasts a privileged position right next to the archaeological site of Egnazia and adjacent to the San Domenico Golf course. Guests can relax in the splendid swimming pool overlooking the sea. The property offers free bicycles to explore the surrounding countryside and coast. It does not offer services like a Spa or large meeting rooms, but focuses on authentic experiences such as traditional cooking classes and walks through the olive groves. The proximity to the Ionian sea (500 meters) allows easy access to the affiliated private beach.
