Masseria Palombara is an authentic 16th-century Apulian farmhouse in Oria, in the heart of Salento. Not far from the sea, surrounded by 100 hectares of private grounds of olive groves, vineyards, and lush Mediterranean vegetation, this exclusive retreat is the perfect blend of sustainability and luxury. The property has been carefully transformed respecting its natural surroundings and promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

There are 21 charming rooms and suites, each designed with a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. All rooms have a private terrace or garden, and some even have their own plunge pool or private hammam. The understated luxury interiors, with natural materials and neutral tones, create an atmosphere of relaxation and refinement.

At the Masseria, you will find plenty of places to relax or get active. Grab a bike and enjoy a ride in the shade of the centuries-old olive trees on the property. Work out in the Technogym fitness center or sunbathe by one of the two saltwater pools where parasols and luxurious sun loungers await you. The Spa with a traditional hammam offers unique treatments and massages, for even more pampering. You can also choose from a wide range of activities, from cooking classes and olive oil and wine tastings to a stylish Vespa scooter ride. The on-site restaurant celebrates the flavors of Puglia with a farm-to-table philosophy, serving dishes made with fresh, seasonal produce grown on the estate or sourced from local farms. Breakfast is a feast of homemade jams, pastries, and other local specialties.

Nearby, you will find the best that Puglia has to offer: the beautiful white sandy beaches of Punta Prosciutto on the Ionian coast, Baroque Lecce, the caves of Matera, Alberobello and its ‘trulli’, and the Primitivo wineries in nearby Manduria.
