Luxury Holidays At Don Ferrante

If you’re seeking a slower pace of life, intertwined with the allure of the dolce vita, Don Ferrante is sure to please. Steeped in traditional sophistication and fine Italian heritage, the hotel is a peaceful retreat overlooking the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Surrounded by ancient churches, winding lanes and magnificent views of the Bari coastline, it is perfectly situated for exploring the nearby towns and enjoying fine Puglian hospitality. Take breakfast in the 15th century gunpowder store or take a dip in the secluded outdoor pool, neatly tucked away in the corner of the vast outdoor terrace. Boasting just ten guest rooms, the accommodation is tasteful and homely, with honey-hued walls made of stone, Puglian limestone bathrooms and traditional Italian ceramics. After exploring the region’s finest shops and touring the best sights, the ideal way to unwind is with the hotel’s signature massages, available in the privacy of your room or alfresco on the sun terrace. Where Don Ferrante truly excels, however, is with its unparalleled dedication to personalised, discreet first-class service.

Friendly and helpful staff will attend to your every whim and provide information and recommendations.

Furthermore, the hotel's personal shopper can visit Monopoli's high-end boutiques on your behalf, or accompany you for a day of designer shopping.

Culture & History

Located in the charming town of Monopoli, the hotel is named after the Neapolitan nobleman of Don Ferrante. When Don Ferrante became the Viceroy of Bari and Otranto, a small fortress was constructed close to the southern side of the castle walls, which is the building where Don Ferrante hotel lies today. It is impossible to miss Charles V Castle in the town's historical centre; the coastal fortifications were determined by Charles V of Spain and constructed in the 1500s on a promontory jutting out to sea.

Flight Information
British Airways from London Gatwick to Bari.

Flight Time
From London Gatwick to Bari: 2 hours, 55 minutes.

Cuisine

Puglia produces silky olive oils, sun-dried tomatoes and plenty of pasta too – every Sunday, the ladies of Bari can be seen deftly making orecchiette (small, ear-shaped, pasta). Savour the local fish and seafood dishes, including oysters roasted in olive oil, lemon and garlic, as well as spit-roasted lamb with rosemary, all perfectly paired with wines such as Castel del Monte Rosso, Terra d'Otranto and Bianco di Train. In Cisternino, look out for butchers who offer appetising meat options, including parcels filled with mince, ham and cheese called 'bombette' – a local delicacy and great barbecue ingredient.

Cuisine
Sightseeing

Lecce is a Baroque gem, with a beautiful Old Town of golden-stone architecture overflowing with fancy churches, palazzi and piazzas. Highlights include a Roman amphitheatre, Piazza del Duomo, with its 70-metre-high bell tower, Basilica di Santa Croce with its intricate façade, Il Castello di Carlo V and the Church of Saints Niccolò and Cataldo. The pretty town of Ostuni, meanwhile, is a jumble of whitewashed buildings spread over a hillside, all overlooked by a stunning Gothic cathedral. Browse its narrow streets and stairways, taking in the views at every bend and calling into shops selling regional goodies and keepsakes.

Sightseeing
Valle d'Itria

Discover this sweeping, picturesque area of vineyards and olive groves, punctuated by farmsteads, trulli and lovely old towns. Cisternino’s slender streets wend to elegant piazzas, edged with restaurants and beautiful old buildings, such as the 14th century Church of San Nicola – if you visit in August you’re likely to catch fantastic local festivals. Locorotondo is another pretty town, known for wine production and whitewashed 'cummerse' buildings, their pointed gable roofs more typical of the Baltic region. Alberobello is perhaps the most famous, its historic town centre filled with clusters of trulli – unique to the area, these conical-roofed houses are still inhabited today.

Valle d'Itria
Beaches and Coastline

Ostuni has some protected coastal parks and – about eight kilometres away from the town – are some of Puglia’s best beaches. Other places of interest by the sea include the resort of Oranto with its Old Town area and Polignano a Mare with its cliffs and sea caves.
