The Local Concierge at Masseria Fontanelle offers personalised experiences and tailored excursions based on the preferences of each guest.
Water sports and sailing
In Ugento Puglia, renowned as the Maldives of Salento, along the coast between the charming villages of Torre San Giovanni and Torre Mozza, this location is approximately 50 km from Lecce and a three-hour drive from Brindisi airport. Sea enthusiasts have the opportunity to explore the coastline through a variety of options, such as embarking on sporty kayaking or canoeing trips, or enjoying leisurely days on a sailing or motor boat. The towering rock cliffs are topped by ancient watchtowers and Art Nouveau villas, creating an unexpected spectacle to be admired from the sea.
Panoramic sea views
At Masseria Fontanelle guests will find the Charming Spa inside historic cave, a play room equipped with games and a shared library, a swimming pool with panoramic sea views, an outdoor gym featuring state-of-the-art Technogym® equipment, a padel court, an open-air cinema, and yoga, pilates, and meditation classes. Additionally, there are guided tours to discover the beauty of the Salento region. To ensure maximum relaxation for guests, the rooms are divided into doubles and Junior Suites, and only children aged 12 and above are welcomed.
Delightful snorkeling experiences
Exploring the hidden coves and crystal-clear seabeds from the water allows for delightful snorkeling experiences. For venturing into caves, small boats are used, while those seeking more refined experiences can opt for the Masseria Fontanelle’s historic gozzo boats or indulge in a private sailing experience for couples. Lastly, for those interested in immersing themselves in myths and legends, a yacht excursion to the Greek island of Fanò is available, with a stop at the Bay of Calypso mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey
A tranquil retreat
During these outings Masseria Fontanelle guests can enjoy the thrill of fishing and collecting delectable sea urchins, and when it's time for an aperitif, the sailor on board will skillfully fillet the catch, serving it alongside Salento specialties and chilled prosecco. Masseria Fontanelle serves as a tranquil retreat nestled amidst the unspoiled nature of the Ugento Coastal Natural Park, and it has direct access to the sandy beach and the crystal-clear waters of the Salento's Maldives.
