Our favourite rooms
London-based Olga Ashby was trusted with the interiors and the result is a collection of 10 cocooning suites, clad in muted hues, artisan finds, and cooling stone features. Each suite has a private terrace, but we like room eight’s idyllic courtyard garden. For a taste of traditional Puglian living, opt for the iconic Trullo Suite.
Poolside
Uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside are best admired from the turquoise pool, which is dotted with jute-fringed umbrellas, driftwood details, and edged by pine and olive trees. The water on one side laps a craggy rockface, sprouting with native plants – you’ll get the feeling of wild swimming, just in a more pristine setting. Come for hazy morning dips or leisurely afternoons, before strolling over to the bougainvillea-bordered bar for cocktails. And if sharing isn’t caring, you could always book one of the Pool Suites to have a piscina all to yourself.
Packing tips
You’ll find yoga mats in the pavilion and straw hats by the pool, so fill this space in your suitcase with the books you’ve always planned on reading, but never had the time to.
Also
There’s one treatment room, available for massages on request. If you prefer to stretch your body yourself, the gym is kitted out with callisthenics gear, plus there’s an equipped yoga pavilion in the garden, shrouded by pine trees.
Children
Welcome, but this rural retreat is better for older offspring, as there’s no specific kit for little Smiths. Under-13s can sleep on an extra bed in some Pool and Garden suites for €80 a night; please let the hotel know in advance if you'll need one.
Sustainability efforts
Tenuta Negroamaro’s sustainability endeavours are anchored in a desire to keep things close to home – spaces are constructed from natural materials, like local Leccese and travertine stone, and an onsite farm and vegetable garden supplies the restaurant with fresh eggs and colourful produce. This rural retreat is also plastic-free.
