Rising, dazzling white, above an olive grove, Masseria Le Torri has the presence, elegance and style that belong in the pages of a magazine. The owner Mimmo and his wife Silvana have used their long heritage in hospitality to create a tranquil and harmonious idyll where quality and service shine in everything they do. Silvana manages the day-to-day running of the hotel and her generous spirit and infectious Italian flair give it the warm personality of a private home with the all the finesse and discrete luxury you would expect from an expertly-run boutique retreat.
The masseria once belonged to Mimmo’s mother and his love for this beautiful building is palpable in the care and attention to detail evident in its restoration. It has a serene, dream-like quality about it: chandeliers and birdcages hanging from trees and sheer fabrics giving the nine en-suite double bedrooms an ethereal quality. They share the colour scheme that runs throughout the hotel – a harmonious combination of natural wood and stone, with the gentlest whites and creams. It’s complemented by the selection of carefully, creatively placed objects that help make every room unique: an open book with a red rose laid across it; antique wooden doors as headboards and, in one of the shared living spaces, an ancient piano, as pleasingly old-fashioned as the bed linen is sumptuously soft.
The shared swimming pool has more than a touch of Riviera glamour, brilliant white deckchairs and sunbeds lined up in pairs beside the clear blue water, parasols on standby and a bar, serving drinks and light lunches. Delicious breakfasts are included in your stay and served in a room once used to dry the masseria’s abundant crop of almonds, although in the warmest months, tables and chairs are spread outside so your morning can begin in the sunshine. A tempting selection of snacks are available throughout the day and if you wish to dine at the masseria in the evenings, you are assured of a culinary experience that feeds all the senses. Once a week, guests are invited to join a local chef for a lesson in the art of Italian cookery, helping with the preparation of a wonderful spread of traditional Apulian fare, to be cooked in the original stone oven that belonged to Mimmo’s mother. The mouth-watering results are enjoyed at dinner, an informal and relaxed affair and an authentically Italian experience.
When your thoughts turn to exploring, tap into the spirit of the original masseria and go horse riding, or, for something more cosmopolitan, historic Conversano is just a ten-minute drive away where dinner can come with a Michelin-star and all the best attractions are gathered around the lively main square. The coast and lovely town of Polignano a Mare are just a 15-minute drive away, where upmarket beach clubs, boat trips, diving and fishing can all be arranged on your behalf.
You’ll find the spectacular Castellana Caves and Monopoli, with its lovely old town, excellent restaurants, castle and pretty harbour, both a 25-minute drive away. There’s an archaeological museum and the upmarket San Domenico Golf in Fasano, half an hour away, and magical Alberobello, the charming city of the trulli, is unmissable and a 40-minute drive from the hotel. It’s one of a number of historic towns and villages that make Puglia such a fascinating – and deeply relaxing – place to stay.

Masseria Le Torri is exceptional. The setting, the Masseria, and amenities are without doubt top drawer. However all this would be incidental if it wasn't for the people who work there. From Silvana the owner, to those who look after the rooms, those who wait, the reception staff, and the chefs who prepare such fabulous food, all add to an outstanding experience Once again Simpsons have got a winner there.
We had 3 nights at Masseria Le Torri. This was an absolute delight. Everything about it seemed carefully considered to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The staff were brilliant nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and the room/suite was blissful. It was a real wrench to leave. And thanks to Ketty our concierge who was always on hand to help or provide advice and information when we needed.
Flawless.
The Masseria was faultless, only complaint is that it is (deservedly) fully booked for the foreseeable! Mimo and Silvana were delightful and all staff reflected their ethos that a holiday should send you home with batteries recharged with good sleep and food a priority.
Masseria Le Torri is a very special place, the exquisite decor and attention to detail is remarkable and the personal service from all the staff exceptional. October is a perfect time to visit, with warm sunny days and cool evenings and no crowds visiting the stunning towns within a couple of hours drive including Matera and Alberobello. With so much to see and the delights of the Masseria, one week isn’t enough! Their motto ‘there are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t yet met’ is just how you feel when you stay.
We loved our week at Masseria Le Torri, a beautiful property, with Silvana and her team delivering faultless service which made the stay extra special. Located within easy reach of so many ‘must visit’ places within Puglia and with the fascinating Matera being relatively close by too. Silvana helped us with restaurant bookings and we enjoyed some fabulous seafood in places that were full of locals. We met some lovely fellow Simpson travellers which made for some good fun evenings at the Masseria and even Mr Simpson dropped in to say hi! Overall another wonderful Simpson holiday experience...question is where next!?
Just the most wonderful holiday experience from start to finish.
The holiday was excellent and returning to Masseria Le Torri was even better than anticipated. The staff went over and beyond with no request too difficult and Francesco’s suggestions were excellent.
We were delighted with the holiday. The masseria was delightful and our room was excellent. The owner was charming and always helpful. All the staff were on the ball and very attentive.
A Simpson gem! Masseria le Torri is everything we expected and more. Very friendly knowledgeable staff, very tasty food, fantastic accommodation and above all very peaceful and tranquil. A lovely holiday in an excellent Simpson Hotel.
This is our fifth Adults Only hotel and it was a most enjoyable experience. The staff were charming, led by the wonderful Silvana. We were not expecting to dine in each night but we did and had no regrets. Prices were reasonable and food very good .If the staff exude charm, half the battle is won. The nearest restaurant (7 minutes’ walk?) but did not care for the look of it so stayed put.
The attention to detail in the rooms and around the beautifully manicured lemon, lime tree, herb and pomegranate laden gardens is exceptional. Our suite included a separate lounge area, fabulous shower, mini-bar and outdoor seating area. Storage space was plentiful and clothes hangers are provided. That said, we were short of hangers, and I include this only to qualify my statement that the attention to detail is exceptional, because on our return to the room after housekeeping, more hangers had been supplied. Fresh milk is provided in room daily. Breakfast is superb and included home baked cakes, fresh fruit, homemade jams, fresh juice, cold meats, local cheeses, focaccia, omelettes etc, etc. A truly wonderful and varied spread. A set evening meal is optional along with a bar menu. One evening we opted for the bar menu but requested a variation on what was listed. This was not a problem. Albeit it was in the middle of the hotel’s evening dinner service, our choices were served at our outdoor seating area with the same attention to detail as we would have expected to receive in the dining area. Plenty of seating is provided around the pool area and lying on the loungers surrounded by the aroma of sage, lavender and lemon trees that border the pool, was fabulous. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Not overbearing in any way, but always on hand to offer advice and assistance. It was lovely to meet up with the other guests for first evening cocktails, and later that week for the Simpson evening meal. The cookery class we attended later in the week was great fun, as was sharing our Puglian experiences, particularly the driving, with the other guests. All in all an absolute gem of a hotel! We can't recommend it highly enough.
We wanted a quiet, relaxing stay in a good location so we would not have to drive too far to see the sights. Masseria Le Torri delivered on every level and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the room, to the food, to the pool and to the staff, everything was superb! Easily 5-star. Silvana and her team were wonderful and service was excellent but unobtrusive. The room (Magnolia) suited all of our needs, was very comfortable and spacious. We loved the large veranda.
Fantastic accommodation and food plus good info from the Simpson rep. The experience at the Masseria and the service the staff provided were just excellent and could not be faulted. Overall a great holiday.
An absolutely perfect location; peaceful, quiet and superbly comfortable. The staff were excellent and the accommodation top notch. We were astonished by Silvana, the owner’s energy and drive to get everything so absolutely perfect... We've already recommended the Masseria to several friends and colleagues.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Masseria Le Torri. This beautifully restored unique masseria has a real sense of calm the minute you arrive at the gate. Silvana and her team work relentlessly to ensure all their guests are happy.
Masseria le Torri is like an iced wedding cake set in the idyllic Puglian countryside amongst olive groves, lemon trees and bountiful flowers under a perfect blue sky. It is where time stands still, peace reigns supreme and Italian hospitality abounds. It should be on a list of ‘places to visit before you die’. We feel privileged to have been and hope that we will return in the not too distant future.
We found the Puglian wandering experience (10 days across three hotels of very different style and character but all with a high level of attention to detail and personal service) was a perfect introduction to the many charms of what was to us an entirely new region of Italy.
The Masseria Le Torri is a wonderful place to stay. Sylvana and her staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfast buffet (with hot options every day) is truly amazing. Everything fresh (lots grown in the gardens) with choice and beautifully presented. The staff are prepared to spend as much time as you need giving information about places to visit and the superb restaurants in the surrounding towns. Lovely light lunches in secluded shady places or around the pool. All the rooms are different and in keeping with the Masseria. The standard of cleaning is excellent. Lots of interesting and fascinating places to visit, and for us, the hire car was a necessity. Lovely memories and an experience we would not have missed.
Masseria le Torri was an absolute dream come true; wonderful property, good, staff....the setting, all of it. I would highly recommend the experience and we can’t wait to return. Simpson Travel was straight forward and professional in our dealings and I'm looking forward to another Simpson destination experience.
Silvana, the owner was extremely kind and helpful – taking me off to find some local honey, booking recommended restaurants and always had time to chat. Niko in reception was also very helpful and full of useful information. We had a very relaxing time.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations in its elegance, rustic charm and warmth of welcome from all the staff. Each day started with a stunning breakfast table which appealed as much to the eye as the taste buds. There were surprises every day! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Masseria Le Torri and Simpson Travel to friends and family.
Masseria Le Torri is a wonderful base for exploring the fascinating region of Puglia. Peacefully set among fields and fruit trees, and surrounded by enchanting and well-kept gardens, the historic house has been beautifully restored and decorated, with comfortable and casually elegant suites and rooms. The owner, Silvana, and her team, provide a warm welcome and friendly service, and a particularly impressive breakfast. Happy days and fond memories are ensured.
Our stay at Masseria Le Torri was a week not to be missed. The hospitality of the all the staff was second to none and all aspects of this beautiful property are superbly appointed. There are plenty of beautiful places to visit and some lovely restaurants.
Enjoyed our stay at Masseria Le Torri. Very helpful staff, breakfast a feast, bed so comfortable. Cookery class with other guests was great fun. The weather was a bit inclement; however, it meant we took the opportunity to visit the surrounding towns and villages – Polignano, Monopoli and Locorotondo. Particularly enjoyed Ostuni – ‘The White City’ – although not in Puglia, Matera is a must – worth the drive. Alberobello with its trulli houses is worth seeing but quite touristy and busy so wouldn’t recommend staying for long, we combined it with an afternoon in Monopoli. We did have two lovely days just relaxing by the pool which was lovely. Plenty of good restaurants to eat at – gelato heaven! All in all a relaxing and enjoyable week in Puglia.
Masseria Le Torri is a truly wonderful Simpson Travel treasure in a lovely part of Italy. Everything about the hotel and the surrounding countryside amazed us. A simple impromptu lunch under the gazebo in the garden was our most treasured memory and the very best culinary experience despite the simplicity of the menu. The staff are supremely helpful and attentive, everything you could hope for and more.
Another great holiday arranged for us by Simpson Travel. Looking forward to Easter and Summer holidays.
Masseria Le Torri is an exceptional property in a peaceful and idyllic setting. The owner, Silvana, is a lovely lady who goes out of her way to ensure all guests have exactly what they need and no request seems to be too much trouble or goes unresolved. A lovely base for touring around Puglia and as first timers this was a fabulous introduction to the delights of the region.
We had a lovely time in Masseria Le Torri – very hidden away and quiet.
Masseria Le Torri was like owning your own masseria in Puglia, a luxury property, with a pool, but with the benefit of staff, food and friends!
Masseria Le Torri is a magical oasis of calm. Luxurious and relaxing, we had a truly perfect holiday.
Masseria Le Torri is a beautiful hotel in very peaceful surroundings. All the staff were very warm, helpful and hospitable. The room and bathroom were very attractively decorated, and we loved sitting on our terrace, looking out over the olive groves. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious – home-baked bread, cakes and pastries as well as an excellent choice of savoury items. The pool area was lovely, very relaxing and the gardens were very pretty.
My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Puglia. Whatever we expected it was way and above our expectations, so many beautiful towns, cities and churches, each one very different, enchanting, and amazing. Matera is just one – an incredible city and a must to visit, it is quite awe-inspiring and breathtaking and yet unbelievably spiritual. The beaches are of soft pale sand and turquoise seas. Olive oil is in abundance with trees everywhere. Cafés, restaurants family-owned and Michelin star restaurants – the food is sublime, fresh fish, seafood, mostly eaten raw/cold. Farms growing olives, cherries, peaches, tomatoes and aubergines. The jewel in the crown is without doubt Masseria Le Torri. A large white manor house recently renovated by the owners with nine exquisite suites, each one slightly different. We slept on super king-size beds which the owner had had made (slept like a log).Excellent walk-in shower, lovely bedding, towels excellent, white and fluffy. The décor is pale grey with white and natural cream stone and wood. Our room had white muslin drapes and treasures from a bygone age, fantastic. Breakfast is and excellent choice of fresh fruit from the farm – cherries, apricots, melon and much more, also cakes, meats, cheeses and wonderful omelettes made fresh to order. Lunches were served on white tablecloths in the shade by the pool. Huge spaces to walk around, a lovely rose garden and a delightful swimming pool where we spent time when not sightseeing. The masseria is so peaceful, tranquil and has a magical feel. We didn’t want to leave. The staff cannot do enough for you but are not intrusive. Ketty and Nicolas at reception are just outstanding, Francesco (the Simpson Travel rep) is amazing – his knowledge of Puglia is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. On my husband’s birthday a cake had been made, champagne and fruit served in our suite, how fab was that. Two weeks and we could have stayed for more, so much to do and see. I left my heart in Puglia and cannot wait to go back. The incredible Masseria, the lovely people, the wonderful food especially the delicious tomatoes and Buratta cheese, which when cut oozes cream, and of course the olive oil and homemade bread, a meal to die for. Simpson Travel look after you so well as an individual, nothing is left to chance. Our holiday in Puglia was one of the most interesting yet relaxing holidays we have had. Magic, sheer magic. Thank you.
On a scale of 1 to 10 Masseria le Torri is a 12, honestly. Stunningly renovated and peaceful. It's staffed by a team who truly understand customer service. Our suite of rooms (previously the Masseria's chapel) were huge with high ceilings, original frescos and a private terrace that seemed to have sun all afternoon. Breakfasts were a feast of locally sourced food – from fruit and bread to cheese, cold meats and cake – never thought we'd be able to eat so much so early but we did, every day. All in all, brilliant.
Beautiful Masseria Le Torri, stylishly appointed in a stunning location. Breakfast excellent and the Puglian evening is wonderful. Be brave and visit the kitchen to chat to the cook, it’s well worthwhile!
If you are looking for a beautiful setting with people who really care that you have a wonderful holiday, then look no further. The food is out of this world, with cherries and olives picked from the owner’s land. A beautiful rose garden, olive trees, with areas to sit and just relax. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff will ensure a relaxed and special holiday. The nearest town is short drive away and is typically Italian with great food, ice cream, the sea and people watching. Also lots to see if you drive slightly further afield. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to return.
A stunning hotel in a wonderful location – we had a very relaxing few days. Puglia is a beautiful region and we would highly recommend a visit.
A very special place to stay, beautifully renovated by the owners with great attention to detail. We loved the vintage décor and the old table linen was just beautiful. Superbly comfortable bed and pillows and the best breakfast we have had anywhere, lots to choose from – local produce, different cheeses and cakes every day and cherries from their own trees. We spent our mornings exploring the many delightful old hill towns and the afternoons relaxing by the pool and enjoying the beautiful grounds. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant they recommended in Locorotondo was really special and not somewhere we would have found ourselves. If you are planning a trip to Puglia, this would be a wonderful place to stay.
A truly beautiful place where you relax the minute you arrive. The staff are incredibly helpful and the rooms a delight. Ideally located for exploring the local area. The food is exceptional and we can highly recommend the ‘Taste of Puglia’ evening at the hotel.
If you want a taste of authentic Puglia, Masseria Le Torri could not be a better base from which to explore and relax.
A beautiful hotel in a beautiful part of Italy. Lovely peaceful location and within easy reach of the coast and other towns for visits and meals. Staff very accommodating. Another Simpson Travel triumph!
We had a wonderful four days at Masseria Le Torri, set in rural Puglia but within easy reach of so many places of interest; Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano – all well worth a visit. The Masseria has an interesting history and has been lovingly and beautifully restored. Delightful hosts only too ready to help enhance your holiday. A wonderful place to relax in peaceful countryside. The evening meal of local Puglian dishes was simply superb, not to be missed. An Italian treat.

There’s a different side of Italy to discover on a holiday in Puglia – the land of the trulli, ancient olive groves and historic towns that take you on a journey from Byzantine to Baroque. And then there are the countless beaches and beach clubs that capture the diversity of this absorbing destination: unspoilt, unpretentious and full of creative flair, where the generosity of the locals is matched by the excellence of its cuisine.
