PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • This exotic looking 15th-century masseria, now a five-star hotel, epitomises the southern Italian ‘buon ritiro’ – an idyllic retreat where you can linger in palm-shaded gardens, wallow in the lagoon-like pool, pamper yourself in the spa, or pitch and putt your way round the nearby golf course.
  • Nestled in Puglia’s idyllic landscape, and host to millennia-old olive trees, the Masseria San Domenico bridges the beauties of its past with its luxurious present.
  • Like the largely unexplored region itself, the hotel is full of hidden wonders, most notably the caves beneath the property which were home to Apulian monks fleeing Moorish attackers during the Middle Ages.
  • The largest cave (now next to the outdoor swimming pool) was used to store olive oil, and the pressing equipment is on display today.
  • The hotel still produces fine oils, which the chef uses in the cuisine served in San Domenico restaurant. Deeper underground, a natural hot spring provides the mineral-rich water for hotel’s Thalassotherapy spa, a center dedicated to relaxation, as befits the unspoiled surroundings.

Masseria San Domenico Exterior

Against the backdrop of the blue Mediterranean sky and sea, Masseria San Domenico lies only 500 metres from the Adriatic coast in the Italy’s Puglia region, its whitewashed building standing amidst centenarian olive groves. The building itself dates back to the 15th century, when it was used by the Knights of Malta as a watch-tower. After a careful restoration, completed respecting the old shapes and the original building materials, the tower was converted into a 5 star deluxe resort whose charm recalls the history of the region, a land where Eastern and Mediterranean cultures have flourished together. Gym class in thalasso water combining muscular strenghthening and endurance, activating the blood circulation.
