Position
The Masseria San Domenico lies about five hundred meters from the sea on the coast between Bari and Brindisi in the territory of Savelletri di Fasano. It is one of the oldest watch towers built in the XV century. This fortified building was used to warn against attacks by the Turks. Bari is at about 55 Km (35 minutes by car) whereas Brindisi is only 35 Km away and 25 minutes by car.
Hotel
After a careful restoration, completed respecting the old shapes and the original building materials, the tower was converted into a deluxe resort whose charm recalls the history of the region, a land where the Eastern and the Mediterranean cultures have mixed well together. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and sea, the whitewashed stone buildings stand out amidst ancient silver olive groves, among which lies a magnificent irregularly-shaped pool encircled by rocks and plants.
You can enjoy here a relaxing and peaceful place with an efficient and careful service.
