Masseria Torre Coccaro

Luxury 5 Stars Farm

 

 

Even the most stressed manager could be able to get back his/her equilibrium in this discreet refugee. A few steps far from Savelletri’s fishers, here there is Masseria Torre Coccaro that launches a new idea of relax and luxury together, reaching the top level. Its really ancient origins – it was built in XVIth Century as Defensive Tower against Saracens’ attacks – go well today with a framework offering a large variety of interiors and treatments that will help you embrace “the quietest calm”. Each interior of the Farm tells, actually, with its furniture made of simple but smart fabrics melting very well with stone walls, a piece of history: from the Orengegrove Suite, made out of  a very white natural cave made of calctufa and surrounded by an orangegrove  up to the Tower Suite, where once the Marchis Palmieri used to live, overlooks one of Apulia’s most picturesque landscapes. The stay includes a series of personalized treatments (from skin cure to olive therapy) using Western and Eastern techniques.

Borgo Canonica

Charming Trulli

 

 

It is not just a Trullo, but a real rural village. It is Borgo Canonica (Rectory), in the heart of Itria’s Valley. An amazing cones parade. Lots and lots. All  of them austere, intact, faschinating. Different if you change prospective.  If you look at them from the sky, from the earth, forward as well as backward. It seems as you were under an enchantment. And moreover you will find a very special internal athmosphere, made of a natural chemical attraction between its ascetic strictness  of the architecture and its warming furniture. Everything as in the past. Anyway everything alive by a new sophisticated glazed enthusiasm. At the same time you can enjoy its warmness, its inwardness, its smartness. You will enjoy  luxury without ostentation. And what about the surroundings? Only an unpolluted nature, up to date seats and old stones. And if you are looking for the swimming pool you can find it next to the relax area surrounded by olive trees and near the pergola that hides the bar. Borgo Canonica is not just an arrival place, but a departure one as well. Here you will enjoy lots of experiencies in the nature, doing sports, admiring works of art and tasting oenogastronomic traditional dishes.

Masseria il Frantoio

A charming Farm

 

 

It is the right destination for who loves food: The oil Mill, an authentic Apulian Farmhouse (XVIIth c.) with 72 hectares of land cultivated biologically since 2004. An oasis, among olive trees, for the body and the mind. Here you will be welcomed by Armando and his wife Rosalba, superb hosts, who will tell you, with that kind of passion that does not know any tiredness, the story of this marvelous charming Farmhouse. Here, each meal becomes a rite: the kitchen already ready since 4 a.m., takes out of the oven, for breakfast, cakes, biscuits, almond to be toasted, jumbs, cheese and plenty of biological products. While at dinner, meeting of all the guests at 7.30 p.m.: first a tour round the Italian garden, then an exploration of the aromatic herbs orchard and the discovering  of the ancient cave where olives were once grinded. At 8.00p.m. you can dine: the menu is unknown, but it is a surprise to be discovered dishes after dishes, in a crescendo of emotions. For night stay there are thirteen rooms, all restored saving the alive atmosphere of the past, with wrought iron beds, nude ceilings and bricks. But the most beautiful is outside: walking into the grass, the olive trees and lemon trees, oranges and ciders; silent corners for those who love to be his/her own reading a book; but the proposition of doing something else, numerous activities for those who love sharing experiencies as well.
