Masseria Auraterrae -  Polignano a Mare, Bari 

The Boutique Resort Where Luxury Meets the Soul of Puglia

​

In the heart of the Puglian countryside, between the deep blue Adriatic and endless stretches of ancient olive groves, lies Masseria Auraterrae, a five-star boutique resort where history and nature embrace.

With just 22 rooms and suites, each uniquely restored from 17th-century spaces, every stay is an invitation to enjoy privacy, exclusivity, and timeless charm.

The rooms and suites, once stables, cisterns and wine presses, have been transformed into sanctuaries of elegance. Each is different, each tells its own story and here authentic character meets modern indulgence in perfect harmony.

At Masseria Auraterrae, luxury is redefined. It’s not about excess, but about moments that linger: a sunset swim in an infinity pool suspended between sky and sea, the quiet rustle of olive trees in the breeze, a glass of estate wine savored under the stars, a wellness ritual that restores balance to body and soul. Every guest is pampered with impeccable, tailor-made service, where every detail is designed to fulfill personal desires.

Dining at Masseria Auraterrae Restaurant set in the former monastery refectory, is a journey through Puglia itself. Each dish tells a story, crafted from local ingredients and produce grown in the biodynamic garden, where tradition meets creativity on every plate.

Beyond the Masseria, each day brings new adventures. Sip an aperitif among the vineyards, learn the secrets of Puglian cuisine in a cooking class, sail through the sea caves of Polignano, cycle the gentle hills of the Itria Valley, join the olive harvest, or spend a morning at sea with local fishermen. Every experience is a window into the true soul of Puglia.

And just minutes away, a world of wonders awaits: the dazzling white cliffs and houses of Polignano a Mare, the fairytale trulli of Alberobello, the sunlit alleys of Monopoli, the majestic Castellana Caves, and the enchanting villages of the Itria Valley. A land where every corner reveals a new story, a new beauty.

Masseria Auraterrae is more than a place to stay—it is a rare sanctuary for travelers from afar seeking intimacy, authenticity, and unforgettable memories. Here, luxury is the freedom to pause, to breathe, to reclaim time for yourself in the magical soul of Puglia.
