Расположение
The silence of the countryside, the drystone walls and ancient olive trees are the backdrop to Masseria Palombara, situated less than 20 km from the splendid white beaches of Punta Prosciutto and San Pietro in Bevagna and 2.5 km from the charming medieval hamlet of Oria. Brindisi Airport is just 35 km distant.
Hotel
Set in a large holding of 100 hectares, amidst almond trees, palms and old olive trees, the Masseria Palombara has grown organic produce for the past 15 years. The complex comprises two areas, the main building and the “Dépendance” (annexe); within the bounds of the property there is an interesting archaeological site.
The main building is the most ancient part of the Masseria, built between 1700 and 1800 and marked by star vault and barrel vault ceilings, tuff stone, whitewash, vintage furnishings and valuable carpets. It offers nine rooms between Classic and Deluxe, plus one exclusive room, the Suite Palombara, with a secret garden and a small private pool with hydromassage waterfall. There is also reception, a saltwater pool, and a small spa. The restaurant too is in the main body of the structure, as is a Wine Bar and a small boutique offering bags, ceramics, artisan furnishing details and products of the Masseria.
The “Dépendance” (annexe) is located about 300 m from the main building, and can be reached by a 10-minute stroll along the tree-shaded pathways, or on the bicycles provided by the hotel, or by car.
The annexe was obtained by renovating old farmhouses built in the 1960s. This complex, which offers six rooms plus the Cooking Suite, has its own pool and a gym with Technogym equipment.
By choice of the Management there is no TV either in the rooms or common areas, thus allowing guests a full-immersion experience in the tranquillity of the Masseria and its philosophy.
Only children aged 12 and older are allowed at the Masseria.
