In the heart of Gallipoli, one of Puglia’s most renowned areas, stands Masseria Macchiaforte, an elegant and refined 19th-century manor house. Positioned equidistant from the Ionian Sea and the lush Mediterranean maquis, this pet-friendly haven is a tastefully furnished retreat surrounded by captivating landscapes. Olive groves and centuries-old trees extend as far as the eye can see, creating a mesmerizing backdrop facing the Ionian Sea. On the countryside side, the senses are treated to the ecstasy of scents and colors emanating from the surrounding Mediterranean scrubland.

Within, Masseria Macchiaforte artfully blends rusticity and the roughness of stone, wicker, and natural materials with linear elegance, reinterpreting the essence of an old farmhouse with a contemporary touch.

The Masseria comprises eight expansive and recently renovated apartments, each uniquely named: Le Stelle, L’Imperatrice, and L’Alchimista. Ground-floor apartments boast private gardens, while top-floor counterparts feature spacious terraces with breathtaking sea or countryside views. Andrea, the amiable chef, curates a complete and homemade breakfast daily, featuring a wide selection of the highest quality typical products.

The beach, a mere 4-minute drive away, is easily accessible, with the Masseria providing drop-off and pick-up services, eliminating any parking concerns. A recently added outdoor swimming pool enhances the guest experience, and massages are available upon request.

Alessandro and Aurelia, the passionate couple at the helm of this enchanting property, along with their dedicated team, offer a level of care and engagement that transforms your stay into a familial experience. They go above and beyond to fulfill your every wish and share valuable recommendations to help you make the most of Puglia’s treasures.
