Slow down at this charming countryside boutique hotel, just 10 minutes from the sea and close to the harbor town of Gallipoli in Puglia
Less than 10 minutes from the city of Gallipoli and the sea, a true paradise unfolds for those seeking tranquility. Here in the countryside of Puglia, amidst olive groves and almond trees, you'll find a genuine oasis of calm centered around a renovated farmhouse that now serves as a charming boutique hotel. At Tenuta Negroamaro, time seems to stand still, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in rural life. Feed the farm animals, collect fresh eggs, or pick sun-kissed fruit straight from the trees. Explore the meticulously maintained vegetable garden, stroll through the vineyard, or visit the turtle pond—a perfect spot for a family vacation with children. You'll also meet the warm and welcoming team, who make you feel right at home, ensuring your stay in Puglia is both special and unforgettable.
Gallipoli
Tenuta Negroamaro is located near Gallipoli, on the western coast of Puglia. This picturesque harbor town, just under 4 km from the Tenuta, truly lives up to its name. The Greeks once called it "Kalé Pólis," meaning "beautiful city." Although the Italians later transformed the name to Gallipoli, the town's charm remains unchanged. You can stroll through its scenic streets, greet the fishermen as they bring in their fresh catch each day, or simply wander through the historic old town with its ancient walls and timeless atmosphere. The town center is a maze of narrow, winding streets filled with charming boutiques and lively piazzas, where numerous restaurants offer a perfect spot for an aperitivo or dinner. Here, you can soak in the authentic Italian lifestyle, and the best part is that time seems to stand still.
Then and now
You'll experience the same sense of timelessness when you step into Tenuta Negroamaro. In this traditional manor farmhouse, everything slows down a notch, and many original details have been preserved, such as the vaulted ceilings and classic tiled floors. The interior has been carefully curated by the London-based design studio Olga Ashby Interiors, resulting in a boho-chic aesthetic. The aim was to revive the charm of the past while incorporating modern comforts, and they have certainly succeeded. Plastered walls adorned with crocheted wall hangings, rattan lamps, wooden accents, and bedding in natural tones complete the look, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Farm-to-table
On the 7-hectare estate surrounding the farmhouse, life flourishes in abundance. The property features a vegetable garden, a vineyard, and countless olive trees. The olives are regularly harvested to produce flavorful extra virgin olive oil, while the organic ingredients from the garden are used daily to prepare fresh dishes. Nestled among the lush greenery of the garden, you'll also find a swimming pool with comfortable loungers, perfect for drifting away into relaxation. When hunger strikes between moments of unwinding, you can head to the adjacent terrace of the pool bar. Here, they serve a daily-changing menu, featuring dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. Additionally, regular barbecue evenings are held, featuring fresh ingredients and the finest regional produce.
Staying in a Trullo
You can spend the night in one of the 10 elegant boho-chic rooms or suites, some of which come with a private plunge pool or a garden. You can also stay in an authentic Trullo, which exudes the charm of bygone days. Fortunately, all rooms, suites, and even the Trullo are equipped with modern conveniences. You'll find a comfortable bed, Wi-Fi, a TV, and efficient air conditioning to keep you cool on sultry Italian evenings. The rooms are cozy, unique, and full of character. The beautifully preserved old details make them truly special—no, stunning. They alone might be reason enough to book your stay.
