01 · In a sentence

Masseria Relais Santa Teresa in Sannicola, open MayAugust.

Masseria Relais Santa Teresa is a restored 19th-century fortified farmhouse in Salento, Puglia, originally built as a defensive agricultural estate and later transformed into a luxury hotel that honors its historical roots.

The masseria's stone architecture and traditional layout have been carefully preserved while adding modern hospitality amenities, creating a venue where centuries-old Puglian heritage meets contemporary wedding services.

Set on the Salento peninsula near the Ionian Sea, this working estate maintains its agricultural character with olive groves and countryside views.

Very nice and cosy accommodation near Gallipoli in a quiet rural location. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The pool area is very nice and everything was very clean. An ideal small hotel for relaxation. Special amenities: spa with massages, e-bike rental and restaurant. We would love to come back!
