Read MoreGuests 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.

Nestled amidst the pastures and orchards of the scenic Itria Valley, Masseria Fumarola is a lovingly-restored country estate made up of a collection of interconnecting trulli, the region's iconic architectural element. The owners will welcome you with open arms as you relax in the shade of an olive tree next to the pool.

The mansion includes 14 suites, equipped with all modern comforts: wireless internet, satellite TV, jacuzzi, air conditioning, minibar. Here visitors may live the experience of sleeping in a "palmento", the area once employed for the production of wine, or may choose an apartment in which each room is a different "trullo", the traditional cone structure that forms the basis of local architecture. The furniture is ancestral, just like the family ambience that makes this mansion the ideal destination for anyone who wishes to experience the authentic soul of the land: wrought-iron beds, old doors adapted to cubbies, tables obtained from the wheels of the horsecart.
The property features a swimming pool girdled with chestnut trees and a private 6-hectare wood of "fragni" (a variety of oak unique to this area) available for relax and excursions. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, based on homemade products and rigorously prepared in the local tradition, are served in the old manger hall that has been transformed into a meeting place.

This elegant Relais is situated just outside the characteristic historical centre of Martina, surrounded by a peaceful park, and marvellous views over the Itria Valley.
