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.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Like the rest of the hotel, Cimino’s rustic restaurant is white, white and white all over, with little painted wood tables and chairs, handmade-style crockery and candles in glass jars completing the farmhouse-kitchen feel. The food suits the decor – a set menu of proper Pugliese pasta dishes and fabulous foccacia, all made with fresh vegetables grown on site.

Dress code

White linens to blend into the background, and natural fabrics only ¬– this is a truly rustic retreat.

Top table

Squirrel yourself away in the corner furtherst from the door for a cosy tête à tête.

Last orders

Dinner’s served late-ish, between 8.30pm and 10pm. The bar opens at noon and shuts around 10pm.

Hotel bar

Drinks are served in the hotel’s lounge area, a cushioned, candelit space full of intimate hidey-holes.
