“One of Puglia’s best hotels offering a luxurious spa and golf course. Rooms and fabulous suites decorated with romance - white washed walls and rich drapes, some have private gardens, hot tubs and balconies. Fantastic selection of restaurants and stunning salt water pool. A heavenly spot. ”

Hotel review

Parts of the pristine white 14th century buildings that house this luxurious hotel were once used by the Knights of Malta. Much loved by the celeb set, today, it is an impressive spa hotel specialising in thalassotherapy treatments with 47 sumptuously appointed bedrooms and suites. It’s situated only 200 metres from the sea, but the stunning salt water pool makes a seriously tempting alternative for lazy days in the sun. The 18-hole golf course is one of the region’s best.
