If booking online does not suit you, our experts have visited each villa personally, so they can share the finer details and help explore flexible date options.
Masseria Acquadolce is set in the gentle Salento countryside, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and woods. The area is dotted with charming rural towns such as Taurisano, Ugento, Miggiano and Specchia, in each of which you will find local markets, restaurants, some lovely architecture and a sense of the simple life. The sandy beaches of the Ionian coast are a short drive away past Ugento, and you may choose between free beaches and some stylish lidos.
The baroque jewel of Lecce is less than an hour's drive to the north, and is a great day out for anyone interested in Italian art and architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Further south, the "turn of the century" resort town of Leuca, right on the "heel" of Italy, with its Liberty villas is also well worth a visit. Meanwhile, a short drive to the northwest will take you to the fortified island town of Gallipoli, with its lovely old centre, its sea-front fish restaurants and a gently bustling atmosphere.
From the Guest Book

Masseria Acquadolce was outstanding. The staff were wonderful.
Mr Robert Vitale, United States of America July 2019
I don't know where to start. I've had a hard time putting into words how perfect the trip was. All 17 of us are pretty well travelled and I think I heard at least 13 of them say that our stay at Masseria Acquadolce was their best vacation ever. The grounds were dreamlike. The subtle design details were perfect, understated, ideal. I tried to find one thing that was not perfect, and I couldn't. The staff were delightful, always willing to be helpful and wonderful to deal with. And yet, they were in the background and not there when we didn't need them. It was an art and they were perfect artists.

Masseria Acquadolce is unbelievable! What an amazing experience to stay in a place like that. The villa has been gorgeously renovated. The grounds are so meticulously kept up. The caretakers were so wonderfully welcoming and helpful and the breakfasts were fantastic. The layout was really nice to have some of the rooms spread out and to have plenty of space to lounge around as well. The pool is, of course, amazing, and we really enjoyed eating outside under the pergola. I am a professionally trained chef so the kitchen was to die for for me.
