Enchanting Land

ICONIC GOLF| Chiara Melani

Puglia is a continent. It is rural and mountainous in the Monti Dauni, rocky and ancient in Gargano, it spreads over plains of wheat in Tavoliere, it is arid and dry in the Murgia plateau, it is area of merchants and olive groves near the sea, then becomes one of cork and snow south of the capital before turning friable and rugged in Salento. (Raffaele Nigro)

Torre Maizza is a white cathedral, immersed in the lands of Puglia. Dominating the large, hilly property, it overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, orchards, and vineyards; there the intense fragrance of myrtle and delicate jasmine boast of relaxing time spent during an unforgettable stay.

The antique Torre Maizza was built in the 16th century as a watchtower, and was part of a line of defense from Gargano to Santa Maria di Leuca’s finibus terrae; Torre Maizza has now become a sophisticated five-star luxury resort. It features 30 rooms and suites, as well as a private sandy beach, and numerous sports and activities for wellness: yoga and pilates with expert instructors, horse riding and riding lessons. It also offers wine and oil tastings, and special evenings at the three.[/vc_column_text]

Restaurants, bar, and cigar lounge. Indulge in complete wellbeing of all the senses with treatments featuring natural products produced by the property, inside rooms at Masseria Maizza’s Aveda Spa at Antica Torre. A pool radiates within a seventeenth century colonnade and ancient fortification walls, adorned with bougainvillea and jasmine that give off pleasant aromas and colors to be admired throughout the day. There among almond and olive trees, the property’s crown jewel is found: the Coccaro Golf Club overlooks the vivid blues of the Mediterranean Sea and Fasano’s olive groves. The course is characterized by rolling hills and hazards, like a lake at holes 2 and 8, or the wall of Mediterranean marquis at holes 4 and 7.

Some of the greens are for various levels, in order for a player to enjoy the short game and myriad of ancient olive trees. The large practice green has targets up to 270 meters away, plotted along 1,109 meters in relaxing nature; the course is a par 27 with a driving range, putting green, pitching green and bunker area to improve a player’s game in sandy areas. In this enchanting land, time stands still and makes for unforgettable memories.
