Deluxe Accommodations in Puglia

The original architectural structure of the Torre Maizza Hotel is at the centre of a large hillside estate overlooking the Mediterranean, and just 1.5 kilometres from the coast.

Guests will find the hotel set in a grove of age-old olive trees and can enjoy strolls through our orchards, vineyards and fields of other crops, where the air is scented with heady myrtle and delicate jasmine, mingling to create our estate’s typical Mediterranean fragrance. Torre Maizza is an ancient garrison, part of a defence line that crossed all of Apulia, from the Gargano promontory to “finibus terrae” as Santa Maria di Leuca was called. During the sixteenth century it served as a watchtower against the raids of Ottoman and Saracen Turks, and has now been converted into a refined, luxury 5-star resort. Local traditional hospitality, once extended to pilgrims and Benedictine monks, is now offered to our guests: an intense experience in a discreetly-scented land of ancient customs.
