There is a reason why Puglia has become one of Europe’s most desired destinations. Whitewashed villages, centuries-old olive groves, crystal-clear Adriatic waters and a slower rhythm of life have transformed Italy’s southern heel into the ultimate summer escape.
Yet, among all the iconic destinations and luxury hotels, one place remains surprisingly under the radar.
Welcome to Masseria Le Carrube.
Located just minutes from the enchanting white city of Ostuni, this beautifully restored 17th-century masseria offers something increasingly rare: genuine tranquility. No crowds. No unnecessary extravagance. Just authentic Italian hospitality, timeless architecture and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that makes you forget what day of the week it is.
More Than a Hotel. A Way of Living.
At Masseria Le Carrube, luxury isn’t defined by marble lobbies or designer boutiques.
Luxury is waking up surrounded by centuries-old olive trees.
It’s enjoying breakfast with freshly baked focaccia, local cheeses and fruit picked just moments before it reaches your table.
It’s spending an afternoon by the elegant pool, reading a book beneath the shade of Mediterranean gardens before ending the day with an aperitivo as the Puglian sky turns shades of pink and gold.
Everything here invites you to slow down.
A Culinary Destination in Its Own Right
Food is one of the highlights of every stay.
The restaurant celebrates the richness of Puglian cuisine through a refined vegetarian concept, proving that simplicity, seasonality and exceptional ingredients can create unforgettable dining experiences. Many of the vegetables, herbs and fruits are harvested directly from the estate’s gardens, allowing guests to experience the true flavors of the region in every dish. (Booking)
During summer evenings, the property’s wood-fired pizzeria becomes one of the most charming places to dine under the stars, surrounded by olive trees and the unmistakable scent of Mediterranean herbs.
One Stay, Two Extraordinary Experiences
One of the best-kept advantages of staying at Masseria Le Carrube is something many travelers don’t discover until after they’ve booked.
Guests can enjoy preferential access to the exclusive beach club at Borgo Egnazia, one of Italy’s most iconic luxury resorts. This means you can spend your day on a private stretch of the Adriatic coast, enjoying exceptional beach service, elegant loungers, crystal-clear water and world-class hospitality—at a preferred guest rate arranged through the hotel. Availability and conditions are managed directly by the property, so it’s worth reserving in advance.
It’s the perfect balance: peaceful countryside mornings and sophisticated beach days.
