XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Situated in the ‘heel’ of Italy, recently hailed the ‘new Tuscany’, Masseria San Domenico was once a watchtower used in the 15th Century as a defence against the Turks. Lovingly and authentically restored, the tower has been converted into the central building of this luxury resort whose charm reflects the history of the region.

The Masseria San Domenico is simply the best hotel in the area, a great example of fine restoration, full of antiques artefacts and renowned for its traditional cooking using organic, local and home grown produce and regional delicacies.

The hotel offers boutique-style intimacy bound with first class facilities such as a modern Thalassotherapy Spa, two tennis courts, a private beach and a magnificent free-form swimming pool, which is filled with naturally filtered seawater. Rooms and suites have been beautifully decorated with original period furniture and local pottery. For golf enthusiasts who want to experience a challenging round of golf whilst enjoying views over the Adriatic Sea, the course lies just three kilometres away. The golf also features a luxurious 15-bedroom guest house within walking distance of the first tee.
