Agrihotel -Tenuta Masseria Del Gallo
About
In the southernmost region of Italy, far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, is Tenuta Masseria del Gallo; an 18th century family-run farmhouse with just 20 rooms making for a personal, tranquil atmosphere. The hotel, whose outside is as beautiful as the inside, has an immaculately maintained outside area, dotted with flowers, which is perfect for dining and relaxing. Exploring further afield, the agrotourism is near major cities Lecce and Otranto; as well as the Adriatic Sea. One of Tenuta Masseria del Gallo’s main attractions is the personal feel of the hotel. The small number of rooms means that Federica and her family, who run the hotel, can give you individual attention, recommendations and local delicacies to try. The cosy atmosphere makes you feel at home and guests become a part of the slow-moving, laid-back Mediterranean culture. The family will help you with your holiday activities, such as excursions, sporting events and beauty treatments out in the local area. Further afield, you can uncover an amazing amount of stunning scenery. With isolated rocky coves and crystal-clear water, the Adriatic Sea is truly a picture of paradise just a 20 minute drive away. The area is historically significant, having previously been a Greek-inhabited area on the Italian mainland. In fact, the nearest town, at just 700 metres away, is called Calimera – good morning in Greek. Locals speak Griko, a dialect of Greek, which really makes this area of Italy unique in its origins. While the Tenuta Masseria del Gallo is used by most guests as a retreat, you can also get out and explore the local cities of Lecce and Otranto in 22 kilometres. A total of 20 soundproofed and spacious rooms are located on the ground floor of Tenuta Masseria del Gallo. Rooms come with all the mod cons such as a fridge, shower, air conditioning, satellite TV, heating and a minibar. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated in the typical local style, with marble tiled floors to keep guests cool during the summer. When you need to take a break from daily life, the Tenuta Masseria del Gallo will be waiting. Its renowned personal service, beautiful grounds and comfortable rooms will allow you to disconnect and really get a bit of “you” time. What are you waiting for? Book your break to southern Italy now!
