Masseria Rauccio, Torre dell'Orso, Puglia, Italy

• Picture-perfect Puglia: Retreat to the olive groves and coastal scenery of Puglia’s easternmost region, and stay at a refurbished 17th century farmhouse for authentic Italian charm by the bucketload. Picture yourself floating amid a sparkling infinity pool, gazing out at the surrounding countryside, or bronzing yourself by the glittering sea.
  
  

• An abundance of flavour: Enter the rustic yet elegant atmosphere of the farmhouse’s ancient stables, and experience the warmth and flavour of the restaurant’s authentic Salento cuisine. With fresh vegetables from the garden, handmade pasta, and local cheeses, meats and fish to try, the food here is always top-notch quality. During the summer months, you can also enjoy delicious Apulian dishes and regional wines from the shade of the porch. 
  
  

• Salento style:  Situated between the salty breeze of the Apulian Sea and the peaceful Italian countryside, the hotel takes on the natural charm of its surrounding landscape. When retreating to your guest room or spacious two-storey suite, expect elegant Salento style, minimalist rural flair, original furnishings, and creamy Lecce stone throughout.
