Food to fall in love with

From sunset to the table

An enchanting sunset accompanies the aperitif at the masseria bar, with friselline (crunchy Apulian rusks) topped with tomato, olive oil and a pinch of fresh oregano. Then, in the old stables that now house the elegant dining room, guests are welcomed by the aromas of the sea and the land.

Every day the kitchen serves vegetables, grilled greens, cold pasta, savoury pies and fresh cheeses, with five kinds of bread baked in the wood-fired oven and wine from local cellars.
