Masseria San Domenico

There are 40 rooms & suites.

Classically furnished and decorated, the rooms and suites are bright and airy, with marble and travertine bathrooms. Some have private terraces and most are located in the historic main building, with four special rooms right on the shoreline. For a larger party or those seeking total privacy there is also a stand-alone two-bedroomed villa with its own heated pool and set in lush gardens.

This part of Puglia is a beautiful destination to explore, with whitewashed villages and a dramatic coastline – we recommend hiring a car. If you’re just after a few days doing very little, then here’s the place to do it. Masseria San Domenico has two private beaches, one with soft white sand and the other rocky – both with shallow, turquoise waters. Back at the resort, there’s a vast and gorgeous swimming pool that seems to just blend into the gardens and surrounding rocks. Golfers will love the San Domenico Golf course, an expertly designed championship eighteen hole links course, with the Adriatic on one side and olive groves on the other. It’s worth coming here for the Spa alone. Specialising in the ancient practice of Thalassotherapy (treatments using mineral-rich seawater), the Wellness centre at San Domenico is first-class. It focuses on elements of the healthy Mediterranean lifestyle, and has a lengthy list of therapies aimed at weight loss, stress relief and revitalisation.
