The original architectural structure of the Torre Maizza farm is at the centre of a large hillside estate overlooking the Mediterranean, and just 1.5 kilometres from the coast. Guests will find the farm set in a grove of age-old olive trees and can enjoy strolls through our orchards, vineyards and fields of other crops, where the air is scented with heady myrtle and delicate jasmine, mingling to create our estate's typical Mediterranean fragrance. Torre Maizza is an ancient garrison, part of a defence line that crossed all of Apulia, from the Gargano promontory to "finibus terrae" as Santa Maria di Leuca was called. During the sixteenth century it served as a watchtower against the raids of Ottoman and Saracen Turks, and has now been converted into a refined, luxury 5-star resort. Local traditional hospitality, once extended to pilgrims and Benedictine monks, is now offered to our guests: an intense experience in a discreetly-scented land of ancient customs.
Classic Superior
Under the cathedral vault ceiling, in typical white tufa dwellings, guests will experience the pleasure of life on a historic farm. Glimpses of the Mediterranean from the window, framed by the colours of the olive grove and the grassy scent of the green golf course are the scenario to be enjoyed from each small terrace. All rooms have en suite bathrooms with tubs, two armchairs so guests can enjoy breakfast in their rooms, and feature typical farmhouse furnishings, hand-painted in the traditional style. The SUPERIOR guestrooms are larger than the classic rooms and located in an enhanced position.
Junior Suite
A unique setting, complete with the romantic charm of a fireplace to conjure up local atmospheres. The junior suites feature white tufa stone blocks, a characteristic of the farm dwellings, and include comfortable, elegant armchairs under the cathedral vault ceilings, as well as relaxing whirlpool tubs, and a small terrace with loungers, for guests who choose to take some Apulian sun.
Junior Suite DeLuxe
Recherché accommodation, where the farm's country casual combines perfectly with our exclusive style. Large rooms so we can spoil our guests with our comforts during their stay, a small garden, a miniature terrace overlooking the ancient olive trees, with the sea on the horizon, cathedral vault ceilings, comfortable, elegant armchairs, a large whirlpool tub, surrounded by the white tufa walls, not to mention a golf course for some time out in the open.
Palm Suite
Our suites are the icon of our philosophy, the sum of ancient, genuine country values combined with the elegance and sophistication of a modern resort. Our white tufa buildings host guests in areas enhanced with every possible comfort. What better way to relax than in a dual whirlpool tub, or waking up to a lovely, fragrant breakfast, savoured from deep, plush armchairs? A terrace overlooking a green olive grove and the blue Mediterranean, the HEATED private pool, set in the suite's own garden: for a totally unique experience.
The pleasures of the table are important to us, so we ensure that our restaurant features all the outstanding qualities for offering an unparalleled sensorial experience. The view is of the ancient orange grove, the scent is of orange blossom, and the star of the moment is Mediterranean cuisine. A combination of tradition and creativity, attention to every detail in the inspired menu that includes a selection of the most genuine ingredients from our own organic fields and our region of Apulia, resulting in the delicious dishes on offer.
In a magical location inside the ancient Torre Maizza watchtower, the Aveda Spa is a haven of intimate equilibrium, where natural materials like wood and stone bring their own harmony, and views of the Mediterranean delight our guests. We offer Turkish baths aromatised with eucalyptus oil, a whirlpool tub, treatments using organic herbs and the farm's own olive oil to regenerate body and spirit.
