The Venue…
Carved into a gentle hill, Masseria Specula is a historical farmhouse surrounded by 20 hectares of exclusive private land, offering a tranquil retreat just 1km away from the enchanting shores of the Ionian Sea.
​
Puglia, the "heel" of Italy has become a global hotspot by offering a compelling combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and culinary excellence and attracting a diverse range of travelers.
​
You’ll feel like you’ve found a secret oasis that only YOU know about…
And there are many more activities and offerings to thrill and nurture your spirit than you could possibly take advantage of! Keep in mind, there’s no way you’re going home without a piece of Italy in your heart.
The Cuisine…​
​
Italian cuisine, at its heart, is a vibrant celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients, a philosophy we wholeheartedly embrace at our retreat at Masseria Specula. Here, three remarkable Puglian women, guided by the culinary wisdom passed down through generations, craft meals that nourish both body and soul. Our menu is predominantly vegetarian, showcasing the region's abundant produce, with occasional fresh fish dishes highlighting the bounty of the Adriatic and Ionian seas.
​
Each lunch and dinner is a symphony of local flavors. Imagine savoring handmade orecchiette, a quintessential Apulian pasta, bathed in sun-ripened tomato sauce and accompanied by vibrant fresh vegetables, crunchy seeds, and sweet dried fruits. Delight in the rustic charm of ciceri e tria, where half of the pasta is lovingly fried to add a unique textural dimension to the chickpea stew. Indulge in creamy seasonal vegetable risotto, pasta alla norma with its rich aubergine and tomato sauce, or the refreshing couscous salad, each served with sides of herb-infused toasted bread, savory farinata, or fluffy focaccia.
Depending on the day’s fresh catch, you might also experience the delicate flavors of locally sourced fish, prepared with simple, traditional techniques. Every meal concludes with the simple sweetness of fresh, seasonal fruit, a perfect ending to a culinary journey through Puglia.
