Masseria San Domenico

Puglia, Italy

Dating back to the 15th century when it was used by the Knights of Malta as a watch-tower, the building that houses Masseria San Domenico was carefully restored in 1996. The unmistakable whitewashed building contrasts the mesmerizing blue of the Adriatic coast and the lush greenery of centenarian olive groves.

There are 40 rooms and suites, all within reach of the hotel’s free-form swimming pool, state-of-the-art Thalassotherapy Spa, gourmet restaurant, tennis courts, and of course, the adjoining championship 18-hole golf course.

The story

After a considered restoration, respecting original shapes and building materials, the hotel’s 15th-century tower was converted to a five-star deluxe resort whose charm recalls the history of the region—a land where Eastern and Mediterranean cultures flourish together.

Boutique-style intimacy meets first-class facilities. The hotel’s 40 rooms and suites meld the old with the new, offering contemporary touches amidst classic design.

How to spend your time
