Masseria Calderisi

The Best Hotels in Puglia to Book for an Idyllic Italian Escape | Vogue

"Opened in 2021 by Max and Jutta von Braunmühl, this exuberant masseria feels warm and lively rather than formal: the owners often mingle with guests, the activities range from a private beach strip and boat trips to spa scrubs using honey, salt and lemon from the gardens, and the boutique stocks local ceramics alongside designer beachwear. Hospitality here is impeccably attentive without being overbearing, and communal touches—a morning bread‑baking session, twice-weekly pizza parties—make it an inviting slice of classic Puglian paradise with a fresh, youthful twist." - Liam Hess
