"Housed in a renovated 16th-century farmhouse and set among olive groves and a tucked-away golf course, this refined countryside retreat offers about 40 whitewashed rooms and suites designed with traditional Pugliese craft touches, Trani stone bathrooms, and crisp linens; its rustic-elegant atmosphere features a wisteria‑lined pool, hyperlocal dining across two restaurants, a nearby private beach club, and options ranging up to suites with plunge pools for a peaceful, sun-drenched escape after days of sightseeing." - Erica Firpo
"On the heel of Italy lies Puglia, a region containing the longest coastline in mainland Italy. Flanked by the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, Puglia is famous for its whitewashed towns like Alberobello, medieval castles, and unique trulli houses. Once primarily a destination for Italian travelers, the region has now captured international attention with its stunning beaches, scenic landscapes, and luxury accommodations, such as Masseria Torre Maizza, a beautifully restored 16th-century farmhouse with lush gardens, a golf course, and an elegant pool." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This is a region that historically was down-at-heel in more ways than simply the geographic one, and even as the hotels started sprouting, they were more likely to be rustic farmhouses than high-gloss boutiques. The Masseria Torre Maizza, then, is a bit of a change of pace: while the main whitewashed farmhouse is a perfect example of the traditional local style, the interiors edge toward the luxurious." - La Guida Michelin
"Puglia is famous for its masserie: ancient fortified farmhouses set a smidgeon back from the Adriatic coast, many now transformed into lush hotels. This one, in masseria-filled Fasano, between Bari and Brindisi, and on the waterfront below the pretty Valle d’Itria, has long been one of the best. But Rocco Forte’s 2019 revamp of the 16th- century property has taken things up a notch. The 28 rooms and 12 suites, designed by Olga Polizzi, take their lead from the olive grove out back—all pale green doorframes and more acid-toned furnishings for an upmarket take on rustic luxe. Outside is a vine-fronded pool, verdant, palm-studded grounds, and the hotel’s nine-hole golf course, melting into the flat coastal landscape. Set a little back from the sea, there are flashes of blue on property; better views (and stunning sunsets) from the rooftop Bougainvillea Bar; plus a private club on the public beach, a few minutes away and reached by hotel shuttle." - Julia Buckley
