We had an amazing stay at Masseria Belvedere, and everyone loved the property! What stood out was the original building with tasteful modern upgrades and amenities. The experience has been top notch and we will most likely use The Thinking Traveller again.

The Area
Masseria Belvedere sits in a panoramic position overlooking the Adriatic Sea between the bustling port city of Brindisi and the historic town of Carovigno. This latter has ancient roots dating back at least to Greek times and there's plenty to see there, including numerous churches, an impressive 15th-century castle, and a labyrinthine old town centre, not to mention a good selection of restaurants, cafés and shops.
Down on the coast below Masseria Belvedere is a series of Blue Flag beaches, including those at Torre Santa Sabina and Specchiolla. One of the main attractions of the area is the Torre Guaceto Nature and Marine Reserve, which is home to sandy beaches, dunes, woods, coral reefs, fields of posidonia, wetlands, walking trails and a wide variety of flora and fauna.
A 20-minute drive north of Masseria Belvedere is the utterly charming old town Ostuni, while a little further afield are the picturesque centres of the Valle d'Itria, including Cisternino, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, and Alberobello
Heading south into Salento, an easy drive (around 45 minutes) will take you to the magical baroque city of Lecce, which is well worth a day trip.
