The typical Masseria is deeply rooted in the Apulian tradition. Over hundreds of years, the farmsteads were owned by the aristocrats and looked more like country fortresses to protect them from assaults. Many of them were lovingly restored, and today they serve as exceptional hotels, holiday apartments and restaurants for tourists.

Some of the Masseria were even restored as prestigious 5-star-resorts. One of those top-class resorts is located at the coast of Brindisi and combines the charm of a traditional Masseria with a touch of luxury, perfectly. It offers everything a vacationer’s heart desires! Breathtaking suites and mansions, arranged as small villages, which are loving recreations of the Apulian Borgos, with a Piazza, narrow alleys, markets, restaurants and spa areas. Even some celebrities discovered the unique ambiance of this 5-star-resort as a location for themselves.
