There is a wide range of beaches from sandy bays to rocky coves and numerous coastal walks, as well as fabulous birdwatching at the nature reserve along the coast. There is a mixture of private lidos (require a small charge) or public beaches. The nearest is 10 minutes drive away in Monopoli, which has a historic centre, port and beaches, sports facilities, playgrounds and water sports. In the late evening many of the lidos become discos. The nearest village is Cozzana, just a few minutes drive or 20 minute walk. Within 30 minutes drive there are many local towns and places of interest which include some of the largest caves in Europe, Valle of Itria, the Trulli at Alborebello, the ruins of Egnazia, Zoo Safari in Fasano, horse riding and golf at Saveletri.

Jo and I would like to thank you for making our stay at your lovely Masseria such a relaxing and enjoyable one. For us it was the perfect holiday combining visits to delightful local towns, some archaeology and culture, a great pool, a very comfortable bed and best of all some great food - we could not have asked for more. We also enjoyed our breakfasts with you and were most grateful for all the advice you gave us. We will spread the word.

What a fantastic place with wonderful hosts. We have enjoyed exploring the wonderful villages and "centro storico's". The local (!) restaurant alla Masseria Due Torri has been sensational. We are taking wonderful memories back to Australia and will recommend this Masseria in Puglia. Many thanks!

Thank you both for making our stay with you so enjoyable. We have had time to relax in the peaceful surroundings of the masseria as well as explore a little of the local area. Your recommendations have been very helpful and contributed greatly to the experience. You have done a great job in restoring the property but it is your enthusiasm and friendliness which will remain with us. Many thanks.
