Masseria Torre Maizza: an enchanting break in Puglia in the heart of olive trees

Do you want refinement, omnipresent sunshine and a change of scenery? L'OFFICIEL takes you to the heel of the Italian boot, to discover this dream hotel - managed by the family group Rocco Forte. Guided tour.

Immersion in the art of living dolce vita where the first name of the hotel concierge, “Fortuneto” (luck in Italian) already announces a taste of happiness. Puglia is a place apart where the hills bend under the olive trees, where the roads follow the azure shades of the Adriatic and cross villages bathed in light. It is luxury without opulence where time stands still.

Bordered by a golf course (9 holes) which winds between tormented olive trees, Masseria Torre Maizza has the charm of a large guest house with unparalleled service. Between Monopoli and Brindisi, in the region of Savelletri di Fasano , Masseria Torre Maizza welcomes you to an old 16th century farmhouse recently renovated by Olga Polizzi , design director of Rocco Forte hotels.

The design is thoughtful, the swimming pool navigates through ancient colonnades and the table is exquisite. Its 40 rooms and suites, furnished by local craftsmen and opening onto their own garden, have kept their authenticity while infusing a touch of discreet modernity. Paradise of elegance and comfort.

In the program?

Laze around the swimming pool surrounded by stone columns, stroll on the hotel's private beach, attend the cooking class of the great maestro Fulvio Pierangelini , visit the charming little villages of Alberobello and its trulli and Ostuni. On the rooftop overlooking unspoiled nature, sip a cocktail at sunset and next to the hotel's piano bar, after dinner, sing along to frenzied notes. Did you say divine idyll?

The little extra: the hotel supports the artists of the region by offering its customers a discovery of local art. A successful bet for the Rocco Forte group which, as usual, combines luxury, voluptuousness and unique beauty in a family and intimate atmosphere... A stay to be savoured.
