Why choose a relais in Salento?

Our story, our dream

When we decided to restore Masseria Corte Cucciata, we did it with the desire to create a place that could convey the magic of this land, just as we experienced it as children. Here, every stone tells a story, and every corner carries the scent of a past we wanted to preserve without giving up modern comforts.

A relais in Salento: hospitality and slow rhythms

Our masseria in Salento is not just a place to sleep: it is a refuge for those seeking tranquility, authenticity, and a genuine connection with nature. We still remember the first time we saw the sun set among the centuries-old olive trees of this estate: it was a moment that made us realize this place had to be shared.

We chose not to alter the soul of the masseria but to enhance its simplicity. That is why those who stay here will find spaces that reflect local traditions, natural materials, and a warm, familiar welcome.

Our suites: beyond luxury, an authentic experience

Our four exclusive suites – “La Corte,” “Il Giardino,” “La Terrazza,” and “La Piscina” – are not just rooms, but places where we want you to feel part of our story. We have chosen local materials, furnishings that respect the identity of the place, and spaces designed for those who want to experience something real, without filters.

Every morning, you can wake up to natural light streaming through the windows, the sound of the countryside around you, and the promise of a slow-paced day, lived without haste.

Our masseria: a relais between nature and tradition

We have learned that details make all the difference:

• Zero-kilometer breakfast, prepared every morning with local and genuine products, just as our grandmothers used to do.
• The opportunity to relax in a quiet corner of the garden with a book, perhaps accompanied by a glass of local wine, carefully selected from the best wineries of authentic Salento.
• Walks among the centuries-old olive trees, breathing in the history of this land that always has something to surprise you.
• Dinners on request, under the starry sky, featuring traditional recipes that tell the story of Salento through flavors, paired with the most authentic tastes of Puglia.
• The chance to discover the historic villages of Salento, with personalized excursions to uncover fascinating and lesser-known places.
• Exclusive experiences in the masseria, such as tastings of typical products, traditional cooking classes, and wellness treatments immersed in nature.

Why did we choose Salento?

This land has a special energy, something that cannot be explained in words but only experienced. It’s in the historic villages of Salento, in the scent of freshly baked bread, in the wind carrying the sound of the sea. We chose to create our relais in Salento here because we know that those who arrive are not just guests, but become part of our story.
