Masseria La Macchiola
(Farmhouse Holidays) Spongano
Your green eco-vacation in Puglia's beautiful Salento peninsula
Three reasons why you'll love it here
- A private hot tub tucked away in a secret corner
- Tastings of extra virgin olive oil made right on the estate
- The charm of a traditional "masseria" farmhouse dating from the 1700s
In Puglia's Salento peninsula, where the sun-kissed olive groves stretch almost to the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean, the Masseria La Macchiola countryside resort welcomes you to a unique green eco-vacation in its B&B.
The History of Salento Written in Stone
Discover the charm of staying in a traditional masseria farmhouse from the 1700s, built entirely of tufo stone, with traditional vaulted ceilings and original architectural details. The Masseria La Macchiola welcomes guests in its comfortable rooms and apartments located in the restored historic buildings of the estate, including the olive mill, the storerooms, and the winery.
Both the rooms and the self-catering apartments open onto the internal courtyard. From the private patios, guests can wander into the Italian garden lush with boxwood hedges, towering cedar and palm trees, and fragrant citrus groves.
Savor your Summer
Take one of the available bicycles to explore the gorgeous surrounding countryside on wheels, or relax on the estate with a friendly game of ping pong.
If you would rather dedicate some time to R&R, you have a number of options. Spend an afternoon soaking in the pool, framed by the remains of an ancient tower, while sampling a Spumone gelato or a cool drink, recharge in the wellness area with hot tub and sauna, book a massage, or take part in the yoga classes.
Or discover Puglia's unique culture and folklore with a short lesson in Taranta (Pizzica), the traditional dance of Salento. La Macchiola is a destination to savor, not just a bed for the night!
Visiting in autumn? Settle in for a relaxing afternoon chat in the bright dining room with a roaring fireplace, and keep cozy while enjoying the view of the courtyard and pool through the large windows. Slow your pace over a pot of steaming tea, served with traditional Puglian pastries and specialties like a "pasticciotto" or a "delirio"... you'll understand why this regional cuisine is considered among Italy's best!
The lush estate garden includes a citrus grove surrounding the delightful 17th-century chapel, making La Macchiola a picturesque venue for weddings and other ceremonies and celebrations...
A Green Eco-Vacation
La Macchiola is also an organic olive farm with a vast grove of olive trees which produce an excellent extra-virgin oil, available for tasting and purchase alongside wine tastings and the estate's own Aldemorisco family brand jams and cookies... all organic and homemade!
Each spring, the area comes alive from 30 April to 1 May with the feast days of the saints Cosma and Damiano, celebrated with traditional music, food, and processions, and again on 18 and 19 March with another traditional festival called the "Tavole di San Giuseppe".
