Polignano a Mare, Italy
Authentic Puglian heritageformer masseriafamily-ownedsurrounded by vineyards and olive groves
In Polignano a Mare, on an estate overlooking the deep blue of the Adriatic in southern Italy, this 18th-century property, with its whitewashed walls, evokes a traditional Apulian farming hamlet. The Valentini family, owners of Masseria AuraTerrae, offer stays that blend nature, well-being and local gastronomy.
The estate preserves its rural character, with the essence of the original architecture ever-present–including vaulted ceilings, niches, curved lines and historic stone flooring–within a confidently modern decor. Rooms and suites are variously set in a former cistern, sheepfold and dovecote, while 60 acres of vineyards and orchards create an ideal setting for walks in the southern light.
At Masseria AuraTerrae, days unfold at a gentle pace: take a swim in one of two panoramic pools, enjoy spa treatments, embark on a boat trip or visit one of the many UNESCO-listed sites nearby.
