This restored 16th-century farmhouse is steps from the Adriatic coastline, sheltered by olive groves and lush Mediterranean gardens. All of Masseria Torre Maizza’s 40 rooms and suites feature their own private garden for guests to relax and soak up the Pugliese sunshine. Olga Polizzi has outdone herself again at this hotel, with local ceramics on the walls, tones of earthy green and brown linens coupled with stone bathrooms. Choose one of the suites with their own private pool or stay in the Torre Suite, high in the old watchtower – a memorable romantic retreat. There is access to the private Coccaro and Le Palme beach clubs, where you can dine on the freshest catch of the day fresh fish is served on the shores of the Adriatic.
