Puglia's masserie, palazzi and luxury stays, chosen and told independently
Puglia is a long coast of white towns, baroque stone and olive country, where the table counts as much as the view. We tell its masserie, palazzi and hotels, each checked on official sources, so you can pick the escape that suits you: sea, countryside, food or a wedding.
Hotels with the official five-star category in Puglia (Apulia), with or without the luxury designation. A rotating selection, one stay per area, never a ranking.
137 stays pinned across 14 areas
Puglia in its fourteen areas, each in its own tint, with every stay we can place to the building or the street pinned on it. Choose an area to open the map on it.
Three stays from different areas for each kind of trip, and the full list one click away.
Stays that say they host weddings, with what each states on guests, exclusive use and ceremony.
Under 2 km from the sea in a straight line, or with a beach club or a private beach.
Stays whose official information confirms a spa.
Adults only, a spa or a private beach, at an estimated price band 3 or above.
Fourteen bases, from the Gargano to the Cape of Leuca. Pick one to see every stay in it.
The same stays, gathered by the way you want to travel: by the sea, in winter, with children, for a wedding or a honeymoon.
A stay is included when it is under 2 km from the sea in a straight line, or when its official information confirms a beach club or a private beach.
61 stays
Every stay whose official website says the whole property can be booked for a private event or a group. A stay that says nothing about exclusive use is not included.
11 stays
A stay is included when its official information says children are welcome and also confirms family rooms or a kids' club. A stay that is silent on either point is left out.
11 stays
Every stay in price band 3 or above (our estimate of its level, since no band rests on a published rate) whose official website confirms at least one of these: adults only, a spa, or a private beach.
27 stays
A stay is included when the Regione Puglia accommodation register lists it as a five-star hotel, with or without the luxury designation. Our own price bands play no part, and a stay with no category in our data is left out.
30 stays
Every stay whose official website says that pets are allowed, or allowed on request (a size limit, a fee, notice before arrival or certain rooms only). A stay whose pet policy is not recorded in our data is not included.
49 stays
A stay is included when its own official information confirms a spa; a stay that does not mention one is left out, and nothing is added by hand.
