Luxury Holidays At Masseria San Domenico

Located in rural Puglia, this beautifully restored farmhouse dates back to the 14th century when the main building was used by the Knights of Malta as a watchtower. Today it is part of a luxurious resort, located amidst mature olive groves - used to produce olive oil for the estate - and against a seascape with the shores of the Adriatic Sea, just five-hundred metres away. With a boutique hotel feel, the whitewashed resort is perfect for anyone looking for seclusion, personal service, a fantastic spa and excellent cuisine in a tranquil spot. Guest rooms and suites are elegantly furnished and many feature a private garden or terrace. Facilities include a private rocky beach, an 18-hole golf course spa and thalassotherapy centre, while the resort's main restaurant offers Puglian specialities prepared with local ingredients, complemented by a selection of local wines.

Why Masseria San Domenico is so special...

Culture & History

With golden fields of wheat in the north and sandy coves and beaches in the south, Puglia is a beautifully diverse region, filled with well-preserved culture and historical imprints. Outside of the luxurious Masseria San Domenico's estate, venturing into this rural area will uncover some well-hidden gems of Italy. Along the way, notice the roads lined with awe-inspiring Baroque buildings and extravagant churches. No different than any other Italian region, food is prominent amid the cultural activities on offer - enjoy everything from traditional wine-tasting, to a pasta-making masterclass.

Luxury Beach

For a haven of relaxation along the shores of the Adriatic coast, head to one of two beautiful white-sand beaches, exclusively reserved for Masseria San Domenico guests. San Domenico a Mare Beach and La Fonte Beach offer easy access to the sea and a section of secluded white sands for guests to luxuriate upon, as well as a restaurant and bar providing plenty of light refreshments.

Spa Breaks

There are eight thalassotherapy rooms where thalassotherapists are on-hand to administer treatments aimed at purifying the body. The essential element of thalassotherapy is sea water which is rich in minerals and trace elements and the water at this spa is drawn from 400 metres below sea level, purified by filters and heated. Mineral-rich seaweed is also used in many sea water hydromassages and compresses. In addition, there is also a range of traditional and Oriental massages, as well as aromatic colour showers, Kneipp routes and a sauna and a steam room.

Golf

Rated amongst the best in Italy, guests at Masseria San Domenico can enjoy discounted rates at the beautiful Mediterranean-inspired San Domenico Golf Club. This 18-hole, championship course overlooks the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea, as well as boasting 6,300 metres of lush greens, including strategic bunkers and definitive fairways. The on-site clubhouse is idyllic for a well-earned break, featuring a bar, restaurant, pro-shop and reading room.

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.

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.

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.

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.
