In the middle of Lecce, between Piazza Sant’Oronzo and the Roman amphitheatre, you can stay at Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce since July 2026. Tivoli Hotels & Resorts restored the palazzo, which opened in 1880 as the Hotel Risorgimento, and runs it as a 5-star hotel, the Minor group’s first in Puglia. After a day among the baroque facades you slip into the heated saltwater indoor pool in the wellness area; in the evening you dine at the new restaurant Godot and take your aperitivo at the rooftop bar overlooking the cathedral bell tower. There are 48 rooms, 13 of them suites.
Baglioni Masseria Muzza · Rooms & suitesFor a swim with a view of the White City, book Vista Ostuni. In this former tobacco factory at the foot of Ostuni’s old town, a hotel since 2025, the heatable infinity pool sits on the roof with an all-round view of the sea, the plain of olive trees and the old town. Erik Dhont’s three hectares of gardens lead you to the 20-metre pool, the spa lies beneath mosaic vaults, and with 28 rooms, 19 of them suites, the hotel stays intimate.
Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce · Rooms & suitesIn Salento you sleep under vaulted ceilings at Baglioni Masseria Muzza near Otranto: the 40 rooms occupy the former stables and barns of a 17th-century masseria that Baglioni opened as a resort in 2022. Adults have the infinity pool overlooking the Alimini lakes to themselves, and families have a pool of their own. Castle Elvira Trepuzzi has been welcoming guests since the same year: a pink castle that stood empty for more than 100 years and now offers nine suites, with a rooftop bar on its battlements for the sunset.
On the coast near Savelletri, Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari shows what a restoration with local craftspeople, costing more than 6 million euros, can achieve: a 20-metre pool shaded by vines, the Bougainvillea bar beneath whitewashed arches and the two-bedroom Torre Suite at the top of the old defensive tower. New is the Borgo degli Ulivi, a separate wing for up to 22 guests with four Grand Suites with private pools, six Junior Suites and the Itria Suite – ideal if you are travelling with family or friends.
Worth knowing when you plan: La Peschiera Monopoli closes for renovation from 10 October 2026 and is expected to reopen with a new concept in May 2027. Il Melograno Monopoli, its sister hotel in the Talea Collection, opens seasonally; the new season begins on 3 April 2027. If you have a particular luxury hotel in Puglia in mind, it’s best to ask our travel advisors directly about the current status.
In most of Puglia’s luxury hotels a pool comes as standard – the differences lie in where it is and whether it is heated.
If you want a 5-star hotel in Puglia with a large garden pool, look at the coast near Fasano. For families: Borgo Egnazia, with four pools, two of them at its main building, La Corte. At Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari the pool is 20 metres long, shaded by grapevines, with ancient stone columns on the pool deck. And at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel, a 5-star hotel since 2019, the pool, with cabanas and its own pool bar, looks out to sea.
Borgo Egnazia · PoolThree pools await at Vista Ostuni: a heatable rooftop infinity pool with all-round views of the sea, the plain of olive trees and the White City, a 20-metre garden pool that is heated all year, and an indoor pool with whirlpool in the spa. Our tip for couples in Salento: Baglioni Masseria Muzza, with an adults-only infinity pool overlooking the Alimini lakes; families swim in their own family pool there.
A pool all to yourself comes with some suites at the luxury hotels in Puglia. For two in the city: the Terrace Suite With Pool at Patria Palace Hotel Lecce, with a private pool on its 80 m² terrace overlooking Santa Croce. With family: one of the 28 three-bedroom Case at Borgo Egnazia, each with a private pool.
Baglioni Masseria Muzza · PoolAt the estates a pool is always part of the package. Trullo dei Pumi Puglia has a heated 75 m² saltwater pool. Our tip for families with small children is Masseria Petrarolo Puglia: its pool measures 18 by 16 metres, with a beach entry, three depths and a toddler area, plus a plunge pool on the roof.
And if you’d rather swim in the sea: Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel has its own access to an unspoilt cove, behind its blue wooden door. Borgo Egnazia runs two private beach clubs, and Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari takes guests by shuttle to Lido Bambù in Capitolo.
Then Vista Ostuni is the first choice: the 20-metre garden pool is heated all year, and the rooftop infinity pool can be heated. In Lecce, Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce, open all year, has a heated saltwater indoor pool, and in the spa at Masseria Palombara Relais & Spa Oria the water is 32 °C.
Among the region’s great spas is the Vair Spa at Borgo Egnazia. It covers 2,000 m² on a tufa-stone lower level and works with Apulian rituals, naturopathy, aromatherapy and Kneipp treatments; the programmes carry names in the local dialect, such as the Cundende massage. It features in the Vogue Global Spa Guide 2025 and is reserved for adults.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe most unusual spaces among the luxury hotels in Puglia are at Masseria Palombara Relais & Spa Oria. Its spa lies in the old granaries: a 32 °C pool with a stone hydromassage bench, a hammam in an ancient cistern with a tepidarium and a Swedish birch-wood sauna beneath a 16th-century tufa vault. At La Sommita Hotel Ostuni the millstones of the old olive mill stand in the wellness area, which offers massages, rituals and a hammam.
The Naturalis Wander SPA at Naturalis Bio Resort works with ingredients from the estate’s own land – a private spa in a former barn, for hotel guests only, with treatments based on aloe vera, olive oil, wine and wheat.
The spa at Vista Ostuni measures 350 m² beneath vaults with Bisazza mosaics, with a heated indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna and Biologique Recherche treatments; yoga takes place in the olive garden or on the roof. At Baglioni Masseria Muzza the spa has a steam bath, covered pool, Finnish sauna, ice fountain and four treatment rooms. The Irene Forte Spa at Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari occupies a restored olive mill and uses products made with ingredients from the organic farm of Verdura Resort.
Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel · SpaThe Aqua Spa at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel combines sauna, Turkish bath, a whirlpool with neck jets and experience showers with aroma and colour therapy; as “My Private Aqua Spa” you can book it exclusively. Book with suitespot and a 60-minute Aqua Spa experience per guest is among the benefits there.
In this selection the Michelin-starred restaurant is at Borgo Egnazia: at Due Camini Domingo Schingaro cooks largely vegetarian Apulian cuisine with heirloom vegetables and a zero-waste approach. The restaurant has held its Michelin star without interruption since 2019, confirmed in the 2026 guide, and Gambero Rosso 2026 named it Best Vegetarian Experience. The wine list runs to around 600 labels, 450 of them from Puglia, and Due Camini is open all year. At the resort’s Trattoria Mia Cucina there are weekly cooking classes and “Mimina’s Dinners” with the Melpignano family’s cook.
Naturalis Bio Resort · DiningSeveral luxury hotels in Puglia serve fine dining without a star. Our tip in Lecce: Atenze at Patria Palace Hotel Lecce, where Cristiano Stamerra cooks creative Mediterranean tasting menus rooted in Salento, with a terrace. Near Otranto, Baglioni Masseria Muzza gives you a choice of three restaurants, including the gourmet restaurant Le Site. Carosello at Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari follows a concept by Fulvio Pierangelini, with handmade pasta and fresh-caught fish in the masseria’s former stable; on Wednesdays there is an open-air grill by the pool.
Patria Palace Hotel Lecce · DiningIf you want regional food at a 5-star hotel in Puglia, the masserias are the right choice: many cook with what grows on their doorstep. Masseria Palombara Relais & Spa Oria takes its vegetables from its own organic garden and pours wines from small producers, from Primitivo to Susumaniello. The 4 Elements Lounge Restaurant at Naturalis Bio Resort cooks with home-grown produce, aloe vera and herbs, alongside the estate’s own wine “Sire I”, its olive oil “Mater” and honey.
For fish with a sea view: the Giuammare Osteria Contemporanea at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel sits right by the sea. At the Elvira Restaurant at Castle Elvira Trepuzzi Marino D’Anna cooks Salento-style with fish from Gallipoli.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
For afterwards, many of Puglia’s luxury hotels have a bar with a view. The Sira Rooftop Bar at Patria Palace Hotel Lecce looks out over the Basilica of Santa Croce on summer evenings. Castle Elvira Trepuzzi has a bar on the castle battlements with all-round sunset views, plus The Ape Bar, a mobile cocktail bar in an Ape three-wheeler. At Vista Ostuni you sit in the Chiostro Bar in the former cloister, facing a huge open bottle wall.
Book the hotel that goes with the restaurant. Stay at Borgo Egnazia and Due Camini is right in the resort – and because it is open all year, that works outside the season too. In Lecce, Atenze and the Sira Rooftop Bar are in the same hotel, Patria Palace Hotel Lecce. Talk to our travel advisors if you are planning your room and your table for the same evening.
The masseria is the building that defines Puglia: a fortified farm estate surrounded by olive groves. Just how defensible these estates could be is shown by Masseria Petrarolo Puglia near Monopoli. A drawbridge, trapdoors and an alarm bell once protected its residents from Saracen raiders, the chapel dates from 1689, and in the 18th century the estate belonged to the financier Francesco Petrarolo, whose coat of arms can still be seen on the house. Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari is also a fortified 16th-century farm estate with a defensive tower; the top floor of the tower now holds the two-bedroom Torre Suite.
Patria Palace Hotel Lecce · Historic centreMasseria Palombara Relais & Spa Oria goes back even further: the 16th-century masseria stands on a 100-hectare organic estate with a 15th-century dovecote tower, a Messapian quarry from around 700 BC, a Roman carriage road and traces of a Basilian church.
Masseria Petrarolo Puglia · PugliaIn the towns, the luxury hotels in Puglia are often palaces. Our tip for Lecce is Patria Palace Hotel Lecce: the baroque master builder Mauro Manieri built it in the 18th century as the residence of the noble Petrarolo D’Anna family, directly opposite the Basilica of Santa Croce. The palazzo of Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce served as a pilgrims’ stop, a spice-trading post and an inn before opening as a hotel in 1880. And in Ostuni, where Vista Ostuni stands, a Dominican monastery was founded around 1300; the current building, from the late 19th century, was first an orphanage and then a tobacco factory until 1968.
The most romantic story belongs to Castle Elvira Trepuzzi. The castle was built at the end of the 19th century as the summer residence of a Roman general and bears the name of his daughter Elvira. After her early death the family left the house, which stood empty for more than 100 years; today just nine suites are spread across the castle, watchtower, masseria and cottage.
Newly built and yet traditional is Borgo Egnazia: it was created in 2010 to a concept by the Melpignano family, designed by Apulian designer Pino Brescia as a re-creation of an Apulian village in tufa stone, with a piazza, a clock tower and narrow lanes.
Michelin Keys recognise hotels, not restaurants. In Puglia, Borgo Egnazia holds two Michelin Keys and collects further awards too: in The World’s 50 Best Hotels it ranked 63rd in 2025, after 21st place in 2023. Travel + Leisure named it one of Italy’s ten best resorts in 2025, the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List featured it in 2020 and 2021, and in 2024 it received Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comOne Michelin Key goes to four more hotels. Our tip for Lecce’s old town is Patria Palace Hotel Lecce, for days right by the sea Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel and for southern Salento Baglioni Masseria Muzza near Otranto.
Michelin stars for restaurants are a separate matter: Due Camini at Borgo Egnazia has one star, so the resort combines a hotel award and a starred restaurant under one roof. Cielo at La Sommita Hotel Ostuni is listed in the Michelin Guide without a star.
Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel · Torre CanneIf you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Puglia, hotel associations offer guidance too. The Leading Hotels of the World include Borgo Egnazia and Patria Palace Hotel Lecce, Small Luxury Hotels of the World Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel and Castle Elvira Trepuzzi. Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel has also been a Virtuoso partner since 2025.
Puglia is long, and each area has its own character. Eleven of the 17 properties lie in the north between the Adriatic coast and the Valle d’Itria, six further south in Salento.
On the coast near Fasano you’ll find the classic masseria resorts among Puglia’s luxury hotels. Our recommendation: Borgo Egnazia near Savelletri, between olive groves and the 18-hole San Domenico golf course. If you are after peace among old olive trees, book Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari, around 2.5 kilometres from the sea, with its own 9-hole course. And in Torre Canne, a small fishing village near the Valle d’Itria, you stay at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel right on the sea.
Around Monopoli you stay between the hinterland and the rocky coast. Il Melograno Monopoli lies amid centuries-old olive groves, around ten minutes by shuttle from its own beach club. La Peschiera Monopoli stands right on the rocky shore in the Capitolo district, around ten minutes’ drive south of the old town. And Masseria Petrarolo Puglia sits on higher ground between olive groves and lavender fields around six kilometres inland, with sea views stretching from Polignano a Mare to Ostuni.
In Ostuni, the White City, there are two luxury hotels. La Sommita Hotel Ostuni sits at the highest point of the car-free old town, a few steps from the cathedral, with terraces above olive groves and the sea. Vista Ostuni stands at the foot of the old town, a ten-minute walk from the historic centre and a nine-minute drive from the sea. Our recommendation: Vista Ostuni.
Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari · PugliaIn the Valle d’Itria you rent an entire house. Masseria Pistola Puglia lies in the Canale di Pirro wine valley, seven minutes’ drive from Alberobello and around 15 minutes from the beaches near Savelletri, and sleeps up to 22 guests. Trullo dei Pumi Puglia and Trullo delle Dame Puglia share a six-hectare estate with olive trees on the edge of Cisternino; they can be rented individually or together, for up to 22 guests combined.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
In Lecce you stay in the midst of the baroque if you choose a 5-star hotel in the old town. Patria Palace Hotel Lecce stands in the low-traffic old town on Piazzetta Riccardi, directly opposite the Basilica of Santa Croce. Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce lies between Piazza Sant’Oronzo and Piazzetta Santa Chiara, near the Roman amphitheatre. Around ten minutes north of the city, Castle Elvira Trepuzzi stands on the St. Elia ridge near Trepuzzi, on a fenced private estate with woodland, olive and citrus groves. Our recommendation: Patria Palace Hotel Lecce.
Il Melograno Monopoli · AntonelliIn southern Salento Baglioni Masseria Muzza lies between Baia dei Turchi beach and Lake Alimini Piccolo, around ten minutes from Otranto’s old town and 45 minutes from Lecce. Naturalis Bio Resort is near Martano in the heart of Salento, a few minutes from the beaches of the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea. Our recommendation: Baglioni Masseria Muzza.
Near Oria, finally, Masseria Palombara Relais & Spa Oria stands on a 100-hectare country estate among olive, palm and almond groves – with just 20 rooms and for adults only, an address for couples.
Split your trip between two bases: a few nights on the coast near Fasano or in Ostuni for the sea, the trulli and the Valle d’Itria, plus a few in Lecce or near Otranto for the baroque and Salento. Both airports are well placed for arrival. From Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte Hotel, Bari it’s around 40 minutes to Brindisi and 50 to Bari, from Vista Ostuni about 25 minutes to Brindisi; for Otranto, Brindisi is the closer choice at just over an hour’s drive.

Trullo dei Pumi Puglia · PugliaWhen which hotels are open: many luxury hotels in Puglia operate seasonally. Baglioni Masseria Muzza opens from around mid-April to mid-October, while Castle Elvira Trepuzzi closes in February and March and runs six suites in winter mode from 1 November.
Our tip for autumn and winter: Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce, open all year, with a heated saltwater indoor pool. Due Camini at Borgo Egnazia is open all year too.
How long to stay: for a trip between 5-star hotels in Puglia, plan five to seven nights – that leaves time for the coast and the Valle d’Itria and for a few days in Lecce and Salento. If you rent an estate, you’ll be staying at least a week anyway.
