A hidden gem in the far south of Italy's heel, this peaceful Puglian getaway is the stuff dreams are made of. Located in the enchanting village of Specchia, you're sandwiched between the Adriatic and Ionian seas, a twenty-five-minute drive from the picture-perfect azure waters and white sand of Pescoluse aka. The Maldives of Salento. Your marvellous Masseria boasts five suites divided across four units around the property, each with a private entrance. So while there's more than enough space for ten of you to gather together to relax and recharge, you're also guaranteed some much-needed privacy. The outdoor areas are where this home comes into its own – life is meant to be lived outside. Long, lazy days can be spent lounging by the stunning swimming pool set within a lush walled garden, gather together for family feasts in the shade of the pergola, and spend afternoons relaxing in the outdoor lounge. Here in Salento, the best plan is no plan at all.
