LOCATION
For this retreat we will be back at Masseria Pezza, a restored farmhouse surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, and the ideal place to retreat. The house has six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a large kitchen and living room, indoor yoga space and an unheated salt water pool. Bed linen, towels, shampoo and soap are provided in your room. For this retreat we can host up to 11 guests.
There are some very good reasons why everyone seems to be going to Puglia right now. Down here on the edge of Europe, you feel other worlds. The heel of Italy’s boot combines fairytale landscapes with trulli, whitewashed towns, olive groves on red soil and interesting architecture. The retreat house is 20 minutes away from the beautiful sandy beaches on the Ionian Sea, Torre Lapillo, Punto Prosciutto, Salina dei Monaci, Punta Prosciutta, Torre Colimena, spiaggia del Conte and Torre Borraco. Let yourself be inspired by the Apulians, masters at living life in the slow lane and enjoying the small pleasures in life.
FOOD + DRINKS
We’ll share three homemade meals a day and one day we will have lunch at the seaside. Puglia is where you’ll find the most vegetarian dishes; dozens of different types of leafy greens, sun-ripened vegetables and fruits, beans and bread and pasta made with ancient local grains like senatore Cappelli and monococco.
Our focus lies on sourcing the best produce from Puglia, we work directly with farmers who love their craft. We believe that making healthy choices in life doesn’t have to be hard at all, food that will not just nurture your body, but is tasty at the same time.
