Masseria San Domenico is home to one of Italy’s best Thalassotherapy spas. The spa offers a host of treatments including massages, facials and Balneotherapy, using the rich seawater and seaweed found in the nearby Adriatic Sea which  are an exceptional cocktail producing a equilibrating, tonic invigorating and detoxifying effect. The seawater is completely purified by filter and heated once it arrives at the spa. Top treatments include ”Douche d’Evian” or ”Douche d’Effusion” , a relaxing massage whereby two masseuses use special oils containing marine extracts and the Thalatherm where the body is covered with a layer of crushed seaweed and then warmed with seawater steam 15 minutes. The latter treatment is thought to improve blood circulation.

Relax at the beautiful lake like swimming pool, circled by rocks and plants, or just stroll down a few metres  to the pristine waters of the Apulian Adriatic, and lounge or sunbathe at the shore of the private beach.

If you are the active type, why not try some working out at the gym or play some tennis at any of the two tennis courts.

For golf lovers, San Domenico Golf lies next to the town of Savelletri, with its southern boundary as close to the sea as the road and rocky coastline will allow. To the north are the olive groves and agricultural fields that the site was once part of. Now, the formerly flat and featureless land is a challenging 18-hole golf course that offers an unforgettable experience for visitors, and superb views of the Adriatic Sea from every tee, green and fairway. Created by European Golf Design, the course measures over 6,220m, has a par of 72 and has been constructed to the highest standards with greens conforming to USGA specifications. As is to be expected of a golf course so close to the sea, wind can play a significant role in the challenge of the course. Together with strategic bunkering, definitive fairway shaping and clever green design, a thought-provoking golf test has been set. A golf cart and shuttle service are provided for guests.

Of notable interest are the ruins and Museum of Egnathia. This ancient city, dating back to Roman times, was the last fort before Brindisi on the Appian Way. Also not to be missed is Martina Franca, a city renowned for its Baroque architecture or Polignano with houses clinging to steep cliffs or Ostuni referred to local as “The White City”. Puglia boast extensive Roman remains including the impressive theatres of Lecce and Lucera and the celebrated Roman columns, which mark end of the Appian Way.  Also not to be missed is Alberobello with its Trulli,  limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, and remarkable examples of drywall  construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The Trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields and  they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.
