Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.

The rooms
Whitewashed tufa walls and vaulted stone ceilings open to private terraces, with select suites occupying historic stables and lookout towers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool stretches across lawns shaded by lemon and olive trees, bordered by drystone walls.
The spa
Dedicated treatment rooms offer holistic bodywork using Aesop formulations and essential oils pressed from local herbs.
Restaurant
La Corte
Puglian dishes draw on organic vegetables harvested directly from the estate gardens and fresh Adriatic seafood.
At the table
Gioia Pool Bar serves stone-oven pizzas by the water, and evening cocktails are shaken at the open-air Apero Bar.
How it began
Constructed in 1658 as a fortified Puglian farmhouse, the estate was meticulously restored and opened as a boutique retreat in 2021.
