Masseria Montelauro, Puglia

About Masseria Montelauro

Dating back to 1878, the beautifully restored Masseria Montelauro rests peacefully amidst the Pugliese countryside, only 3 miles (2km) from the ancient Greek whitewashed city of Otranto. The interiors of this former farmhouse are stylish and simple, decorated with cool tiled flooring, soothing neutral hues and wrought iron furnishings that add an exotic North African twist. The guestrooms lead into the pretty gardens. Here you can spend long days relaxing by the swimming pool, which can be found in the inner courtyard and is bordered by an orchard. During your stay, venture into Otranto and explore the archetypal network of narrow lanes, or head to the beach before returing to the hotel to enjoy sampling some traditional Salento cuisine. Masseria Montelauro is an ideal destination for those seeking an elegant retreat in the rural south of Italy.

About Puglia

Puglia, an awe-inspiring region steeped in rustic mystery and culinary legend is baked by the noonday sun and caressed by murmuring waves. A sun-scorched vista depicted by rugged and densely wooded mountains, fertile plains and a thriving coastline, refreshed by rolling surf, tranquil rock pools and perpendicular fishing harbours.
