Setting

Lapped at by the Adriatic

They say Italians do it better, and if you’re talking about relaxed, effortless beachside retreats, then Canne Bianche hotel in Puglia is proof that they’re right. It’s a marvel of seafront simplicity – weathered white stone, lime-washed wood, a sprinkling of antiques – framed by eye-popping views and your own secluded sands. And it comes with an abundance of just-fished fare and a welcome as warm as the midday sun.

Our favourite rooms

All the white-walled rooms are simple, spacious and dotted with neutral-hued wooden furniture. There’s no sea view from the ground-floor Classic rooms, but they do have their own patios. Superior and Junior Suite rooms boast balconies and an eyeful of the Adriatic.

Poolside

A pristine, turquoise pool runs the width of the hotel, parallel with the sea. A raised sun deck sits at one end; a shallow paddling pool at the other, with plenty of loungers dotted around. From here, it's only a few strides to the sea.

Spa

Need a break from poolside lounging? Head indoors to the Aqua wellness centre; home to a sauna, steam room, an ice waterfall, a Swedish shower, a jacuzzi and four treatment rooms offering an extensive menu of massages, facials and beauty treatments.

Food and Drink

Top Table

The sun-dappled, bougainvillea-lined terrace just outside the main dining room is a particularly sweet spot for enjoying the cucina's finest fare.

Dress Code

Simple, neutral-toned summer chic to blend in; bright and bold to stand out.

Hotel restaurant

Bunched flowers decorate the rustic tables at Autentico, where the traditional Puglian dishes are a lip-smacking sensation. An impressive shell-hewn chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating a heaving antipasti buffet with salads, burrata and room-scentingly fresh tomatoes. With abundant waters just outside, fresh fish and seafood are main-course staples at Giùammare Osteria, alongside locally sourced meat, just-picked vegetables and homemade ear-shaped orecchiette pasta.

Hotel bar

The open-plan lounge bar Botanist is small and informal, where cocktails and aperitivi are lovingly prepared from home-made spirits. If you prefer your tipple on the terrace, toast the views or at the poolside bar and repair to one of the taupe coloured sofas.

Canne Bianche
Via Appia 32
Torre Canne di Fasano (BR)

Italy

Canne Bianche is just off the well-connected road to the small town of Torre Canne, right on the beachfront – perfectly placed for exploring Puglia.

Planes

Brindisi Salento Airport (served by Ryanair from Stansted) is half an hour’s drive away and Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (EasyJet from Gatwick and Ryanair from Stansted) is a 50-minute drive. The hotel can organise transfers from €130 each way.

Trains

Fasano station – with connections to Bari, Lecce, Milan and Rome – is a 10-minute drive away. The hotel can organise transfers for €30.

Automobiles

From Brindisi, follow the coast-hugging SS379 to Via Appia Antica in Fasano before turning left onto Via Appia Antica itself for about three minutes. From Bari, take the SP73 and turn onto the SS16 in Zona Industriale. Follow signs to Fasano for about 45 minutes and turn onto Via Appia Antica in Torre Canne. There is plenty of free on-site parking at the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

Take a walk along the sands, hire a bike and follow the coastline or just punctuate your poolside lazing with an occasional splash in the waves. For something a little more hands-on, the hotel’s kitchen staff host regular masterclasses in Puglian cooking. For exploring, Savelletri, a small fishing town with some enticing rustic restaurants is a five-minute drive to the east. Head further east along the coast and you’ll reach the precarious looking clifftop town of Polignano a Mare, home to a cute cove, some great gelaterias and plenty of ancient history. Alberobello, a 30-minute journey inland, is a Unesco world-heritage site thanks to its tumbledown trulli houses. Ostuni, the ‘white city of Puglia’, with its baroque churches, aristo estates and fine dining, is one of the region’s top draws.

Local restaurants

Saporedisale is a local port-side pizzeria with an expansive selection of local wines. Alberobello’s La Cantina is the place to head for some kitchen showmanship and none-more-Puglian feasting, while nearby Il Poeta Contadino gives an upmarket twist on traditional cooking. Star-grazers will also want to seek out Cielo in Ostuni – a rock-hewn hideaway serving locally sourced, artfully arranged Italian fare. Carnivores should make the 20-minute pilgrimage to Cisternino for its most famous butchers, Zio Pietro. Here you can pick your perfect cut and have it served to your table just as you like it. If you want to treat your peepers and your palate, try Il Bastione in Polignano a Mare – succulent seafood and perfect panoramas of the waterfront town, or the remarkable Grotta Palazzese in a huge, dramatic cave 20 metres above the sea.

Anonymous review

Mr & Mr Smith have just returned from a stay at this luxury Puglian pad, and as soon as they've unpacked their orecchiette pasta and bottles of Primitivo, a full account of their glamorous city break will be with you. In the meantime, just to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick postcard from Puglia.

With all its romantic cities, vine-strewn countryside, dramatic peaks and yacht-filled ports, you could be forgiven for forgetting about Italy’s beaches. But combine relaxed rustica with warm waves, and Canne Bianche is a holiday hotspot that’s hard to beat.

There’s nothing showy here – the views of the Adriatic take care of ‘spectacle’ – but everything is done with loving laid-back charm.

The low-rise white stone building blends brilliantly with its surroundings, softened with coiffed lawns and scattered shrubs. Inside, a pale palette and clean lines are complemented by lime-washed wooden furniture and floral flourishes. The bedrooms are inviting, the pool even more so and the private beach makes it tempting to stay very firmly put. The cuisine is as fresh, authentic and joyously tastebud-pleasing as any you'll find; the service as perfectly casual and brilliantly helpful as you'd hope for. 

When you leave your tranquil base, day-tripping around Puglia's many splendours couldn't be easier. The thought of one last snack and a late-night dip in the sea will see you home before the small hours, though.
