We are so excited for the first time to bring you AE Italy in 2026. A Timeless Retreat in the Heart of Puglia
Set in the southern countryside of Puglia, near Brindisi, this land is defined by olive groves, working farms, and rural landscapes untouched by time. Just a short drive from historic hill towns, Baroque cities, and the crystal-clear Adriatic coast, the area offers the perfect balance between countryside tranquility and seaside beauty.
Puglia is renowned for its slow pace of life, sun-filled days, exceptional olive oil and wines, and a culture deeply rooted in food, tradition, and community.
A Journey Through Time Since 1529
Nestled in the Brindisi countryside, this historic masseria dates back to 1529. Once a vibrant center of rural life, farming, and cheese-making, it was shaped by nature’s rhythms and generations of dedicated hands.
Today, carefully restored as an elegant boutique hotel, the masseria preserves its authentic soul while offering modern comfort. Every stone, arch, and detail reflects the timeless beauty of Puglia, creating a peaceful retreat where history and simplicity meet refined hospitality.
Getting Here
Fly into Brindisi Airport (BDS) and relax — we will take care of your transfer, ensuring a smooth and effortless arrival.
