La Dolce Vita

---

Embark on an enriching journey that seamlessly blends culture, cuisine, and exploration, creating an immersive experience like no other.  Discover sublime luxury at  at a stunning “Masseria”—an elegant yet charming 16th-century estate nestled in the countryside of Manduria, an area of Italy's Puglia region renowned for Primitivo wine production.  Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the Masseria is just 6 kilometers from the crystalline shores of the Ionian Sea. It boasts a bar, restaurant, and spa facilities, and a splendid swimming pool. The Masserai is located in a region abundant with nature reserves and charming towns, and while it stands apart from the well-trodden paths of mass tourism it is close enough to easily reach Leece, Ostuni, and Alberbello.

We'll savor local wines paired with traditional appetizers, hike, swim, and kayak through the Pine Reserves of Porto Selvaggio, and explore the ceramic workshops and boutiques of Grottaglie. Our journey will also take us to Ostuni, the famed white city on the hill, and Alberobello, a UNESCO heritage site known for its unique trulli houses.

As the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the Masseria's white lime walls, we'll revel in the tranquil ambiance and the delectable aromas wafting from the kitchen. Dinner will be served at long tables, perfect for forging new friendships and cherishing old ones, featuring fresh, local, and seasonal dishes prepared with reverence for ancient culinary traditions. For those interested, spa treatments, cooking classes, and other activities will also be available.  In additioon to our planned excursions, there will be ample time to relax and explore on your own.
