What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Some rooms, in the old farmhouse, are fairly typical, while others are located in the towers, or under the arched ceilings of barrel vaults.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Surrounded by centuries-old olive groves outside Savelletri, the farmhouse sits minutes from Adriatic shores, rocky coves, and working fishing harbors.
The rooms
Whitewashed stone walls and star-vaulted ceilings frame antique furnishings, while select cave suites open onto private gardens with plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor lagoon pool sits among palms and olive trees, sheltered beneath thatched umbrellas.
The spa
Natural limestone caves hold a heated hydrotherapy pool, a Turkish bath, and treatments made with estate olive oil.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Tables sit under seventeenth-century stable vaults and bougainvillea pergolas, serving Adriatic seafood and vegetables from the walled garden.
How it began

Built around 1550 as a fortified watchtower against pirate raids, the estate retains an ancient cave olive mill and a consecrated 1730 chapel.
