Masseria San Domenico Savelletri di Fasano

The Hotel Masseria San Domenico occupies a superb position, a mere 500m from the sea, on the coast between Bari and Brindisi. The origins of the Masseria date back to the 15th century, time when the old watch tower was constructed. Over the centuries the fortified structure was gradually expanded so as to become an important farmstead, at the heart of a 60 hectare agricultural estate.

Just over ten years ago, the country estate was completely restored and transformed in stunning 5 star resort, providing luxurious guest accommodation is in a total of 50 individually appointed bedrooms and suites, in which to find antique furnishings, hand-crafted wrought iron bedsteads and sumptuous drapes and upholstery.

The San Domenico Restaurant is situated in the hotel's elegant 17th century dining room. Here, sat beneath magnificent vaulted ceilings, guests are treated to the very finest Mediterranean cuisine, savouring dishes prepared using the freshest fish and seafood and the delicious, sun-ripened vegetables grown on the estate farm. To accompany the beautifully presented dishes: a faultless wine list featuring all of the region's most highly prized wines. Located next to the swimming pool, the hotel's Pool Grill is the perfect place for an informal buffet lunch.

Masseria San Domenico is one of Italy's finest destination spas, famous for its thalossotherapy, performed using water drawn from a 400m deep underground stratrum. Other leisure facilities include the resort's private beach, tennis courts, and a state-of-the-art gym.

Golf enthusiasts are likely to spend a considerable part of their holiday on the San Domenico Golf Club's professional 18 hole course, enjoying great golf and magnificent views of the sea, visible from each and every tee, green and fairway.
