MASSERIA SAN DOMENICO

The central buildings of the Masseria are home to eight different categories of rooms and suites to suit couples and families. All are beautifully equipped and decorated in tasteful but typically Puglian style, featuring red, yellow or blue; with the exception of the airy white Suite Masseria. The Deluxe rooms are tasteful and spacious, located close to the spa, and some have lovely balconies for catching the sun. Other options include Junior Suites, with one or two bedrooms, comfortable living areas and private patios; the newly-refurbished Garden Suites; breezy, open-plan Junior Garden Suites with garden views; and the San Domenico Suite - large and decadent - a real home-from-home with two double bedrooms, living room, kitchenette, two bathrooms and private pool terrace with sea views. Anyone longing for a more peaceful private sanctuary can opt for one of the instantly calming rooms in San Domenico e Mare and relax to the sound of the lapping sea.
