Our journey begins at this waterfront residence with unimpeded Adriatic Sea views. We stay in light-filled Panorama Rooms, with balconies that look out to sea. Further aquatic adventures may be had during stints in the rooftop pool.  

While in the small seaside town of Savelletri, we stay at the lavish Masseria Torre Maizza. The 16th-century property is surrounded by verdant lawns and olive groves, a short distance from the shores of the Adriatic. Its gleaming white facade, outdoor pools, and exquisite dining complete the enchanting experience.

Halfway along the Salento Peninsula, we arrive at La Fiermontina, in the city of Lecce. Considered among Lecce’s very best hotels, its rooms and suites feature sophisticated applications of stone and timber in soothing tones. The property’s opulent courtyards, rooftop spaces and leafy grounds have all been tastefully designed. 

Home to the Michelin-starred restaurant, The Cuisine, Le Bubbole, our Matera residence gives cause for celebration. Following its long history as the property of local nobility, the building was given over to rigorous renovations, before the owners opened its doors as a luxury hotel.  

With panoramas rivalled by few locations, Grand Hotel Parker’s grants us a thrilling conclusion to our considered journey. Our spacious Deluxe Sea View Rooms are elegantly designed and include a large living room and sofa bed. While the Michelin-starred Bidder Terrace provides a magnificent finale to our journey.
