The UNESCO protected Valle d’Itria is a verdant region of vineyards, vegetable farms and olive groves and is characterised by the trulli; the distinctive, bee-hive shaped houses that are unique to central Puglia. As well as archaeological sites such as Egnatia and the spectacular limestone Castellana Caves, there are many exquisite, whitewashed hill towns to explore.

One of the few hotels in Puglia with direct access to a sandy beach, Canne Bianche is located close to Torre Canne. Recently opened, the architecture of the building reflects the typical light-filled, whitewashed houses that define the region and makes the most of the wonderful Adriatic views.
One of Puglia’s many ancient masserie, Torre Maizza was acquired by Rocco Forte and reopened in May 2019 after a full renovation. Designed by Olga Polizzi, the 40 bedrooms combine the group’s signature contemporary style with a collection of local objets d’art.
Built in the 16th century as a watch tower, the Coccaro is 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Fasano. The restoration has preserved all the Masseria’s rustic character and it is a very atmospheric place to stay.
Opened in May 2022, the newest property from our friends at Baglioni Hotels, Masseria Muzza brings a luxurious retreat to the deep south of Puglia. Located just outside Otranto, a historic city on the Adriatic Coast, closer to Corfu than to Naples, it is a 17th-century building surrounded by olive groves and the Salento sea.
