Masseria Torre Maizza

Why we like Masseria Torre Maizza

Masseria’s are traditional Puglian farmhouses or country houses on rural estates. With many, like Masseria Torre Maizza, dating back to the 16th century, there’s ample opportunity to live and breathe local history. Also, anything run by Rocco Forte has to be a good thing.

Facilities

40 stunning rooms and suites typify elegant Italian living. The suites add to the glamour with fireplaces, roof terraces and private gardens. The new Presidential Suite takes up residence in the tower of the 16th-century masseria, offering sensational views over a sweeping expanse of Puglian countryside, out to the blue-green Adriatic beyond.

Masseria Torre is a dining destination. The Maizza’s bar and restaurant offer fine Italian dining. Lavishly draped with ivy and heady roses, the garden pergola is the perfect place for sharing a delicious meal. Enjoying superb dishes made using local Puglian ingredients. The rooftop bar, meanwhile, is the perfect location for sundowners, serving expertly crafted cocktails against stunning scenic backdrops. The new vaulted dining room adds to the romance with its intimate atmosphere, and the poolside terraces offer fun, friendly spaces for families to refresh and refuel during the day. The resort also features a 9-hole executive golf course, a private beach club and an indulgent Forte spa.
