Your off-season stay in Puglia
Escape the summer crowds and discover a different side of Puglia with an off-season stay in Salento.
In autumn and winter, Salento settles into a more peaceful rhythm. Days invite you to discover Lecce, Otranto and the villages of Salento, wander through olive groves or explore the Adriatic Coast, while evenings unfold in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Masserias.
Whether you are planning a short break or a longer stay, Puglia in autumn and winter offers a different way to experience the region, through its villages, beaches, Mediterranean landscapes and local gastronomy.
Puglia in autumn and winter: evenings by the fireplace
As temperatures begin to cool, days by the pool give way to evenings by the fireplace and a whole new way to enjoy the Masserias.
After a day spent exploring Salento and its surroundings, there is nothing better than gathering around the fire. A glass of Italian wine, a selection of local produce, a homemade pizza or a leisurely dinner: simple pleasures to share with family or friends.
Rediscover the pleasure of slowing down in Salento
Autumn and winter are also an invitation to slow down. Linger over breakfast, cook together, read by the fireplace or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside and surrounding olive groves: each day unfolds at your own pace.
Whether you are looking for a short getaway or a longer escape, Masseria del Gigante and Masseria Torre Ruggeri offer the privacy and comfort of a private home from which to experience Salento and Southern Puglia.
Discover a different side of Puglia
Off season, Salento reveals another side of its landscapes, beaches and villages. Explore Lecce and Otranto, follow quiet country roads lined with olive trees, discover the Adriatic Coast and the flavours of Puglian cuisine, then return, as evening falls, to the warmth of your Masseria.
It is another way to experience the Italian Dolce Vita: more intimate, more peaceful and just as generous.
Bookings are open for short stays too, whether for an autumn escape, a few winter days or a festive break in Puglia.
The Masserias also remain open throughout Christmas and New Year, with crackling fireplaces bringing warmth to winter days and evenings in Salento.
