Description

Masseria San Domenico is a luxurious 5-star hotel located in the heart of Puglia, Italy.

The main building was originally constructed as a watchtower by the Knights of Malta. Its strategic location near the Adriatic Sea made it an ideal spot for monitoring and defending the coastline against potential invaders. Over the centuries, the property underwent various transformations. It was eventually acquired by the Melpignano family, who saw its potential as a luxury retreat. In 1996, the Melpignano family meticulously restored the masseria, preserving its historical architecture while incorporating modern amenities. This careful restoration allowed the property to retain its historical charm while offering contemporary comforts. The hotel is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Puglia, blending historical elements with the region’s natural beauty. The restoration efforts have ensured that guests can experience a piece of history while enjoying a luxurious stay.
