Masseria Torre Maizza
Rustic-luxe Apulian estate — whitewashed exteriors, vaulted heritage ceilings, Olga Polizzi interiors in natural earthy tones. Unhurried and quietly glamorous, not flashy.
Request a room facing the olive groves rather than the golf course — they tend to be quieter and more atmospheric.
Why It Matters
One of Puglia's most complete luxury resort packages in a genuine 16th-century masseria: private beach club, on-site golf, Irene Forte Spa, a 14m private yacht, and cooking classes. Rooms designed by Olga Polizzi retain original architectural features like vaulted ceilings while meeting every modern luxury expectation.
A 16th-century fortified farmhouse turned 5-star resort, Masseria Torre Maizza sits among ancient olive groves on the Adriatic coast of Puglia. Rocco Forte took the bones of a genuine working masseria — whitewashed walls, barrel-vault ceilings, stone archways — and let designer Olga Polizzi dress the interiors in pale stone, warm timber, local art and hand-embroidered linens. The result is polished without feeling sterile. There's a par-27 golf course, an Irene Forte Spa, a private beach club (Lido Bambù), and a 14-metre yacht for guests who want to take to the sea. Conde Nast Traveler US readers ranked it #15 Best Hotel in Italy in 2025.
