Carved limestone village
The estate functions as a sun-bleached Puglian hamlet, where candlelit alleys lead to a central piazza filled with summer celebrations.
“At night, rosemary, jasmine, and lemon scents the air and a galaxy of lanterns light the way to the bar.”

It’s designed to resemble the traditional Pugliese village, a cluster of low stone buildings and villas connected by narrow walkways...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Century-old olive groves roll down to the Adriatic, placing ancient Egnazia ruins and Savelletri's fishing harbor within easy reach.
The rooms
Vaulted stone ceilings shade the main building, and multi-level cottages cluster around the alleys of the village square.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiered swimming pools terrace down before the main limestone building, and private villas hold their own pools.
The spa and gym
Underground, candlelit thermal baths draw on Roman bathing rituals, set beside vaulted relaxation vaults and a fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
Bar del Portico
Carved stone counters sit under vaulted ceilings, serving aperitifs beside linen-draped stools and white armchairs.
At the table
Michelin-starred Due Camini serves agrarian tasting menus beneath glowing glass bottles. On the coast, Cala Masciola dishes fresh Adriatic seafood.
How it began
The Melpignano family and set designer Pino Brescia built the hamlet from scratch in 2010 using hand-carved local tufo limestone.
