Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel

• Centerd around a white medieval tower and Moorish style arches, the 40 rooms and suites (housed in traditional buildings) provide a contemporary chic feel with modern comforts and amenities

• It’s just a short hop over to the hotel’s private stretch of beach complete with sun loungers, beach bar and restaurant, or enjoy a boat-trip along the stunning Adriatic coast

• Kick back with your vacation read beside the vine-shaded, Roman inspired swimming pool, book sumptuous massage, peddle out to one of the quaint neighboring villages or play a round at the hotel’s very own nine-hole golf course

• Sip an Aperol Spritz and feast on delicious Italian classics (the seafood is especially good) out on the terrace while enjoying views over the Pugliese countryside
