Review

Located a 15-minute drive outside the “white city” of Ostuni—nicknamed for its white walls and primarily white architecture—Masseria Cervarolo occupies a masseria from the 16th century that has been transformed into a charming boutique hotel. The property opened in 2010 after an extensive five-year restoration, during which the designers added materials from the original masseria including chiancarelle (an Apulian stone) and calcareous stone blocks.

The hotel’s 17 rooms are located in the masseria and eight trulli, which are traditional rural Apulian stone huts with conical roofs. The junior suites occupy two trulli, and the accommodations throughout the hotel feature stone walls and a cozy, rustic charm. The country-chic décor is accented by restored original furniture, embellished fabrics and handcrafted furnishings.

The hotel has several public spaces for guests, including intimate courtyards, cozy alcoves, an alluring living room and a picturesque orangery. Cacti, pottery (much of it is by Enza Fasano), antique geometric patterned tiles and shabby-chic furniture add personality. There is also a restaurant, bar, small wellness center with one treatment room, a large swimming pool and gardens. Masseria Cervarolo also boasts a small church dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrow, the Virgin Mary, and has a polychromatic baroque altar and several original frescos.

The restaurant serves a large breakfast buffet in the morning and offers typical Apulian dishes at dinner. The kitchen offers a weekly cooking class and wine tasting that is complimentary for guests.

Who Should Stay
