The Country Suite Stalla: an authentic stay in the heart of Salento

Immersed in the tranquillity of the Salento countryside, Masseria Torre Sant'Andrea (Antica Masseria Malapezza) is a place where history and nature intertwine harmoniously. Dating back to the 16th century, this masseria is located just 3 km from the sea, on the border between the Melendugno and Otranto marinas. This is an area full of charm, crossed by ancient routes that once connected the Port of Brindisi to the Port of Otranto and are now a paradise for cycling, Nordic walking and outdoor tourism enthusiasts. Here, along the Via Francigena del Sud, the Via Traiana Calabra and the Via Sallentina, pilgrims and travellers travelled in safety to the Sanctuary of Finibus Terrae in Santa Maria di Leuca, from where ships sailed to the Holy Land. The charm of tradition The rooms of the Masseria preserve intact the original features of Salento architecture, with details that tell of centuries of history: star and barrel vaults, canopies with wooden beams, ancient chianche floors, and recovered sack walls. Each accommodation has an independent entrance overlooking the ancient courtyard, equipped with relaxation areas for guests.
