THE HOTEL: Masseria Potenti is a wonderful boutique hotel in a traditional farmhouse lost among the olive groves and vineyards of the Puglian countryside. Masseria is the local name for a fortified farmhouse. The masseria is surrounded by a working farm, which produces the best red wine, the "Primitivo di Manduria Doc", and a fine white, the "Fiano Salento IGT".The hotel has a swimming pool and they are just putting the finishing touches to a new spa.

The whitewashed walls of the old farmhouse reflect the incredible light of southern Italy and compliment the stark Mediterranean scrub. This is the perfect hideaway.

THE OWNER: Paolo and Maria Grazia opened the hotel six years ago. He commutes between Milan and Apulia and the rest of the family help from near and far: Carlo and Benedetta are in Lyon in France, while Walter and Chiara are in Puglia.

THE ROOMS: The original outbuildings have been converted into minimalist, chic accommodation, perfect for a romantic break. There are 17 rooms and 2 apartments each of which has its own private patio, fireplace, air-conditioning, and mini-bar. They overlook the colorful gardens full of flowers and fruit trees and the exquisite swimming pool. There are rooms to accommodate families while apartments can accommodate up to 6 people.

THE FOOD: Start the day with a delicious breakfast of homemade jams and cakes made with the farm's own flour and eggs. At nightfall, guests gather around the common table under the stars. There is no menu. Dinner consists of dishes made with freshly harvested fruit and vegetables in season on the farm. Music and dancing bring the day to a close.

THE ICING ON THE CAKE: The farm organizes trips in the two natural marine reserves of La Salina dei Monaci and the Palude del Conte.

LOCATION: The hotel is near Manduria, just 5km from the Ionian Sea. Brindisi airport is 50 minutes and Salento is one hour's drive.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO: Guests are encouraged to join in harvesting the crops, making bread, drying herbs, and taking a cooking class.
