Luxury hideaway!

Masseria Le Torri, owned by Sylvana Bonelli and Domenico Pugliese, is Italian country farmhouse hospitality at its best.

You’re guaranteed a genuinely warm welcome in this farmhouse, loved for generations. ‘Here, between the olives, prickly pears, and laurel trees, stands our Masseria, a 17th-century farmhouse passed from father to son for generations, and now to Mimmo, my husband,’ says Silvana. ‘Today, it has become an open refuge for those who love our land and its traditions. Just like in the past, sheets smell fresh, the true flavours come out of the kitchen, and everything is pervaded by the welcoming sense of mamma Enza. For her, the rooms always needed to be ready, and the table set – just in case a relative, a friend, or a neighbour came to visit her. This is what it used to be, and still is.’ Fields of centuriesold olive and oak trees, orchards of almonds, cherries, lemons, oranges, tangerines, and figs surround the Masseria, and seasonal vegetables are enjoyed every day. Roses bloom in summer in the courtyard garden and the fragrance – combined with lavender, yarrow, and herbs – is heavenly in the early morning and evenings. In the distance, a glimpse of an old castle and a small trullo are reminders that life here remains unchanged.
