In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- On the first floor, Suite Torre offers the best views of the golf course and the Adriatic – best enjoyed from its huge private terrace. Suite Massaro is a little smaller, with a small balcony and terrace overlooking the links. All Masseria Cimino’s rooms are decorated in fresh whitewash fashion, draped with loose-weave linen and riddled with nooks and alcoves.
- Packing tips
- Bring your clubs – the room rates include green fees for the 18-hole golf course opposite, which belongs to the Masseria’s sister hotel.
- Also
- The hotel provides free bikes, so you can set off exploring the wild sandy beaches of the Puglian coast.

Masseria Cimino
Puglia, Italy[view map]
- Style
- Tiny terracotta farmstead
- Setting
- Coastal olive groves
A cluster of whitewashed farm buildings set around a kitchen garden and surrounded by ancient olive groves, Masseria Cimino is an archetypal Pugliese rustic hideaway with a fresh, dreamlike sheen. Ornamented with artfully rusted farm tools, dried plants and flowers, and jars of preserves, it’s a modern-day take on a classic farm stay – with food just like nonna used to make.
