Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The sleepy village of Serrano sits just down the road, set among olive groves in the central Salento countryside.
The rooms
Suites open onto private sun terraces with loungers, looking straight out across the surrounding fig orchards.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The lagoon pool slopes gently between natural rocks and camphor trees, reflecting the whitewashed masseria walls.
The spa and gym
A glass fitness pavilion looks out across the gardens, and the spa houses a limestone whirlpool and hydrotherapy circuits.
Restaurant
Il Ficheto
Tables sit under garden pergolas along the lawn, serving Salentine recipes cooked with figs and olive oil from the estate.
At the table
The bar serves cocktails and refreshments from a curved terracotta counter, with drinks carried out into the gardens.
How it began
The name comes from the dialect term for dry-stone pastoral shelters, or furni, found on this red-earth land.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
