Masseria

The original architectural structure of the Torre Maizza farmhouse is at the centre of a large hillside estate, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and just 1.5 km away from the coast. You will find the farm set in a grove of age-old olive trees and can enjoy strolls through orchards, vineyards and fields of other crops.

Torre Maizza is an ancient garrison, part of a defence line that crossed whole Apulia, from the Gargano promontory to “finibus terrae” as Santa Maria di Leuca was once called. During the sixteenth century it was used as a watchtower against the raids of Ottoman and Saracen Turks, and it has now been converted into a refined, 5-star luxury resort. Local traditional hospitality, once provided to pilgrims and Benedictine monks, is now offered to guests.

During August children over 10 years are welcome.

A total of 40 rooms and suites of different categories with the following amenities: free Wi-Fi in all rooms, extra-wide mattresses, down pillows, bathrobes, Irene Forte Skincare products, LCD satellite TV and music channels, Sky, CD and radio, selection of DVDs, safe and minibar.

Beach

A little further south of Monopoli, 6.5 km from the Masseria, is the Lido Bambù with its sandy beach and crystal-clear waters. The Lido Bambù is ideal for spending a whole day at the beach, enjoying local, quality dishes and watching the sunset accompanied by live music and a good aperitif. The kitchen is open for lunch and dinner and offers seasonal menus based on fresh fish that vary according to the availability of products in the area.
Masseria Torre Maizza provides a shuttle service to the beach club.

Restaurant

Il Carosello is Torre Maizza's restaurant and is named after a typical Apulian vegetable. This is because the mission of the restaurant and its Chef Fulvio Pierangelini is to offer authentic cuisine inspired by tradition, where zero-kilometre ingredients are the protagonists. It often happens that the ingredients used in the kitchen have been picked from the garden of the masseria itself. The restaurant is located in a citrus grove, in what were once the stables of the property: a refined and cosy environment with high ceilings and rustic-style wooden benches.
The hotel also offers two bars: the Pool Bar and the Bouganvillea bar. The Pool Bar is a cool shelter from the sun in the pool area and offers cool drinks and light lunch menus. Bouganvillea bar, on the other hand, is located in the old barn of the masseria and consists of an indoor lounge with a fireplace and sofas and a large terrace. This bar serves light meals and snacks with a strong Apulian connotation in a comfortable and elegant atmosphere.
