This ten-suite estate runs as a working farmstead, where daily life revolves around kitchen gardens and unhurried afternoons among the vines.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The farm and vineyard exert a verdant influence on the hotel’s interiors, by the London-based Olga Ashby; the ten suites are designed in a playful and memorable rustic-chic style.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Gallipoli's historic peninsula and seafood trattorias are ten minutes away, with Rivabella's sandy beaches just as close.
The rooms
Suites open onto private courtyards with outdoor rain showers, and one occupies an original stone trullo.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater swimming pool curves between Mediterranean rockeries, shaded by thatched parasols and climbing bougainvillea.
The massage gazebo
Body treatments and massages take place in a shaded wooden gazebo beneath the pine trees.
Pool Bar
The stone bar sits under a hand-painted cactus mural, serving cocktails infused with spirits distilled from estate prickly pears.
At the table
Tables line the stone terrace beside an outdoor oven, where the kitchen serves local seafood and seasonal Salentine dishes.
How it began
A Puglian native returned after years in London, transforming a historic agricultural estate named after the region's defining red grape.
