First look at the newly renovated Masseria Torre Maizza Hotel

Melt away in a completely secluded location where the most contact you’ll have with a road will be the winding path through the olive groves down to the garden pergola in time to share a beautiful meal with your loved one. This once-historic 16th century farmhouse is a lush retreat, nestled in the picturesque area of Savelletri di Fasano, where glamour and natural beauty merge. Masseria Torre Maizza is also only 40-minutes from Brindisi Airport or 50-minutes from Bari Airport, making it the perfect base to explore the enchanting region of Puglia. Set out early for a full day of soaking up the tranquil wilderness of The Gargano Peninsula, home to ancient ruins, national parks and pristine coastline. Or, immerse yourself in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Alberobello’s Trulli, home to one of the città bianche, where whitewashed buildings layer on top of one another in a Jenga of history and beauty. The world-famous 1,400 trulli also line its narrow streets and with conical roofs as far as the eye can see, these miniature stone cottages are straight out of the pages of a fairy-tale.

A Rocco Forte hotel equals stylishly-designed rooms furnished by local artisans hand-picked by the interior guru of the brand that is Olga Polizzi. Each of the 40 spacious rooms and suites have the Polizzi touch, with a palette of fresh and fragrant colours reflecting the limes and lemons this country is world-famous for producing. Inject some of the essential Rocco Forte contemporary design into these airy spaces and you have yourself a collection of indulgent living spaces with views of the Apulian countryside as standard with every room, which also feature sumptuous king-sized beds, stone bathrooms, and all manner of state-of-the-art amenities. Upgrade to a suite for added glamour with fireplaces, roof terraces and private gardens. The new presidential suite will take up residence in the watch tower and offer breath-taking views over the surrounding olive groves leading to the sapphire Adriatic Sea beyond.

You could be mistaken for thinking these sensational rooms would pull you in, making you never want to leave, however with a wealth of local and exclusive tailor-made experiences to choose from you’ll be spoilt for choice on how to fill your sun-soaked days. The resort has an in-house spa, a nine-hole golf course, a 20m pool and a private beach club to provide you with relaxation and rejuvenation at every opportunity while the little ones live it up at the exciting kids’ club. 

Masseria Torre Maizza’s bar and restaurant will typify fine Italian dining. Using local ingredients, Creative Director of Food for Rocco Forte Hotels, Fulvio Pierangelini, brings his inspiration and international experience to the stylish restaurant, pool bar and sunset rooftop bar. The garden pergola restaurant is lavishly draped with ivy and heady roses while the sunset rooftop bar serves expertly-crafted cocktails with a side of magnificent sunset backdrops. The new vaulted dining room adds to the romance with its intimate atmosphere, and the poolside terraces offer fun and friendly spaces for families to refresh and refuel during the day.
 

Masseria Torre Maizza will reopen in May 2019 after a full refurbishment promises an authentic Apulian experience that is true to the Rocco Forte philosophy. Commenting on the reopening, Sir Rocco Forte, Chairman of Rocco Forte Hotels said: “Puglia is one of Italy’s greatest treasures, a land of extraordinary architecture, colour, intense flavours and untouched nature. Masseria Torre Maizza is a beautiful place which combines all the deepest traditions and revelations of Puglia and we look forward to offering an experience that combines the highest levels of Rocco Forte service and hospitality in a place of character and unique beauty.”
