Property details

Discover an authentic 17th-century masseria in Puglia with a spa and restaurant - includes breakfast
  • Authentic Salento soul: Set within a 17th-century masseria, Tenute Al Bano offers a picturesque escape into the heart of the Puglian countryside. Your hotel is a charming "village" of stone and tradition, where white-walled buildings are tucked between ancient olive groves, lush vineyards, and a sprawling forest. It is an evocative setting for a slower pace of life, where you can wander through the Mediterranean brush or follow the estate’s own health path for a dose of natural serenity.

  • Flavours of the land: Dining is a sensory celebration of the region at the traditional restaurant, where stone walls and a rustic atmosphere set the scene for authentic Puglian cuisine. Savour delectable local specialties and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, many featuring ingredients sourced directly from the property’s own farm. To complete the experience, you can explore the on-site winery to sample prestigious, award-winning labels produced right here on the estate.

  • Holistic wellness: Dedicated to the wellbeing of body and soul, the soothing spa provides a sanctuary for complete relaxation. Unwind in the whirlpool bath, find calm in the traditional hammam and sauna, or indulge in a personalised treatment using natural essences (fees apply). During the warmer months, the experience extends to a large outdoor swimming pool and sun-drenched terrace, where you can lounge with a drink from the pool bar.

Tenute Al Bano, Contrada Bosco, 72020 Cellino San Marco, Brindisi, Italy

Located at the gateway to the Salento peninsula, this area is a paradise for those who love Mediterranean nature and Baroque history. A short drive away lies the city of Lecce, known as the "Florence of the South" for its honey-coloured stone and ornate architecture; don't miss the intricate façade of the Basilica di Santa Croce or the atmospheric Piazza del Duomo. For a change of scenery, head to the coast to explore the rocky grottoes and clear waters of Porto Selvaggio, which is a prime spot for snorkelling and diving.

The immediate vicinity offers numerous trails through monumental olive trees and rural landscapes, ideal for cycling or a leisurely stroll. History enthusiasts might enjoy visiting the Sanctuary of Saint Anthony alla Macchia or exploring the nearby town of Brindisi with its ancient port and Roman remains. For a more active afternoon, the Bosco Cerano reserve provides protected woodland trails that showcase the unique local flora and fauna.
