Masseria Torre Maizza

A GLAMOUR BREAK IN APULIA

Not far from the Adriatic coast, in the superb region of Apulia, lies an ancient 16th-century country residence transformed into a hotel of character. Masseria Torre Maizza is an elegant sanctuary nestled amidst the olive groves and lush gardens of the estate. The interiors, combining Italian aesthetics with warm comfort, house 40 rooms and suites spacious in layout by Olga Polizzi. In a tribute to Apulian glamour, the room decor wonderfully marries local heritage and contemporary luxury, revealing hand-embroidered linens and bathrooms in Trani stone. Set in the estate's former stables, the gourmet restaurant Carosello offers a romantic view of the gardens and proposes traditional cuisine based on fresh, local produce. In the shade of the pergolas bordering the outdoor pool, the Pool Bar invites guests to sip a refreshing cocktail or enjoy a light lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. At the end of a day exploring Apulia, push open the doors of the Torre Maizza Spa and let the scent of the sea give way to the aroma of orange blossom and the aromatic infusions of Irene Forte Skincare treatments. And for those wishing to laze on the Adriatic coastline, a shuttle will take them to the hotel's Beach Club to enjoy a breath of sea air.
