What they say
One Michelin Key

its 40 rooms and suites are comfortable, expansive, and extraordinarily soothing in their palette of whites, creams, and grays.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.

The rooms

The spa and outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged daybeds line the outdoor swimming pool. Across the limestone wellness wing, facilities include a hammam and Technogym studio.
The indoor pool
Floating steps and candlelit alcoves surround the heated hydromassage pool, fitted with submerged stone loungers.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Salentine dishes and local wines are served under wooden pergolas on open-air terraces looking across the olive groves.
How it began
Originally a seventeenth-century fortified farmhouse, the estate was reimagined by Spagnulo & Partners with minimalist Apulian craftsmanship.
