Rocco Forte Masseria Torre Maizza

Beautiful small hotel in the countryside. The interior designer and architect did an incredible job by creating the impression to be in a simple and stylish countryside mansion but maintaining a 5 star quality at all times. We stayed for 7 days in the Grand Suite with Plunge Pool which is beautiful and must have been recently renovated as everything looked impeccable. However, what makes this place absolutely outstanding is the staff. Everyone at the reception is incredibly friendly. They manage to create the impression that you are staying with friends of friends. The heart and soul of the team is Pasquale, the head concierge, who did an outstanding job. Do follow his and Fortunnato’s ( also really knowledgeable and lovely) recommendations! They know what they are doing. They are from the region and their recommendations were always great! I need to mention Gusseppina ( Gusy) who is working in the restaurant. Such a sweet and lovely person who provides outstanding service. I would highly recommend to rent a car. Besides the beautiful sights all around which you should visit, it is very nice to leave the hotel for lunch and dinner. Don‘t misunderstand me, the restaurant is great. But you can get a more authentic, simple and way better priced alternative, if you are looking for a true Italian experience.

We visited Masseria Torre Maizza for an aperitif and dinner. The location is gorgeous, a gem surrounded by beautiful olive trees. We enjoyed a glass of wine and bubbles by the pool and we were delighted from the live piano music and small appetisers which were delicious. Dinner was served at the restaurant in the garden where we enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the olive trees. Everything was perfect, from the attentive service to the tremendous food (do not miss the seabass!) We cannot wait to be back again! Highly recommended!

I'm finally catching up on past stays and had to gush about this property. I traveled with friends and this was the last stop after lodging throughout Puglia and we saved the best for last. Wow. The property, staff, room design and food were all outstanding. I travel a great deal and generally find a least one element that doesn't match up to a 5 star hotel rating but Masseria Torre Maizza had the 3 of us in total bliss! We rented the 2 bedroom tower, which was incredible. Expensive, but worth it.

We are a well traveled couple who enjoy understated luxury, highly curated experiences and fun. This hotel not only surpassed our expectations but blew us away. From the moment we arrived Fortunado and Paola (concierge) along side their incredible GM Franco were tremendous. Fortunado and Paola booked us last minute tours, a beautiful boat, booked the best restaurants (Silve and Maria’s food is an experience not to be missed!), the list goes on. All of the staff are so accommodating and upbeat- drivers, house keeping, bartenders, chef, pool guys, golf pro, concierge, etc etc etc. The grounds are stunning- not in an overdone way- but in an authentic way that invites you to fall in love with Puglia. The beach club is great- staff excellent, food fantastic, entertainment fun! Our suite with a private pool (corner to golf pro shop) was well appointed both inside and out. The little edible delights that we were gifted daily were beyond amazing. The focaccia is to die for- and became part of our breakfast routine. The taralli also some of the best we had! There is a wonderful sunset view from the pool. Dreamy! The main pool is absolutely gorgeous- for swimming, drinking and/ or eating! The golf pro was super accommodating and left us a set of clubs so we could play at dusk. What a fun course! Every night ended with our “cousin” Carmelo and the other fun guests with whom we sang, danced and laughed the night away. The late night bartenders were the best! All this being said, none of this would be possible without Franco who is the best GM we have ever met. He goes beyond expectation and holds his staff to the highest level. He makes what would be wonderful, exceptional. Everyone there found a way to yes as far as making this a phenomenal stay. Highly recommend and we will be coming back!

Everything is perfect, the size of the hotel (not too big) the peacefull location surrounded by olive trees, the welcoming and friendly staff, the decoration of the hotel, the spotless rooms, the amazing breakfast in a beautiful setting. Beautifull pool. And lovely beach club 5 min away !

We had the most incredible experience at Torre Maizza. The property is just stunning with beautiful landscaping and 100s of years old olive trees adorning the expansive, immaculately maintained grounds. The golf course amongst the most beautiful we’ve seen. The rooms are large and vibrant. The food is fantastic, particularly the extensive breakfast buffet. But what stood out the most and made this such a special and unforgettable holiday for us was the outstanding service. The staff is the warmest and most welcoming of any hotel we have stayed at with an exceptional manager and concierge that created the perfect itinerary and arrangements for us to enjoy Puglia. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness throughout our trip was amazing! A huge thanks to our manager Pasquale : your passion and love for your guests is unrivaled. Thank you for all your help and assistance in making this holiday perfect and for creating the best itinerary for us. Special mention to Forunato for his excellent recommendations, and thank you to Giovanni from the front desk, Sante’ at the pool, and Danillo from the restaurant. And last but not least, thank you to Carmello for playing us his beautiful tunes and filling our evenings here with magic and laughter. We look forward to returning soon.

We stayed at 5 5-star hotels in Italy and Masseria Torre Maizza shined above the rest. The attention to detail from the staff, the hospitality and kindness, it was truly a wonderful stay. Especially the warmth and kindness of the manager Pasquale, the concierge Giuseppe, and the pool attendant Andrea. When you travel a lot you realize how rare true hospitality is and these 3 were such wonderful examples of it. The grounds are stunning, rooms large and comfortable, and the nightly live music was a treat. We hope to be back! Grazie!

We visited only the 9 hole golf course which was tricky and great fun. But the staff of this hotel complex were super friendly and having looked at the complex we really wish we had stayed there. Golf wise, we didn’t need to book but called ahead in any case. It’s a decent 9 hole, with plenty of water hazards and unforgiving for the natural slicer. There is a small range there too.

Fantastic hotel. Everyone there was exceptionally friendly and courteous. The location was great and the grounds are beautiful. Excellent restaurant.the location is perfect to tour around the Puglia region. We would definitely go back again
