We spent 2 wonderful nights at the Masseria Torneselle. The name means “sunflower” in Italian, and let me tell you, this beautiful house bears its name exceptionally well. Lost in farmlands 20mins from Gallipoli, you would do well to take a break from the world and rest here. The swimming pool is stylish and delightful, and the sunsets you see from the house / pool are mindblowing. You can spend the lazy, sunny, days overlooking fields of herbs and different fruit/ vegetables. Or visit the neighbouring villages. So traditionally Italian.
The room we had was huge, ancient (in a great and soothing way), with tall ceilings and cool white stone to keep the room fresh.
The entire place breathes “felicità”! It’s a happy place, made with love and for love. And you can see why - Carla, our host, was the most kind, luminous, strong and loving of women. She took good care of us and saying goodbye was not easy.
It was perfect and these to days were the perfect end to our trip. Grazie mille per todo Carla ! Alice and Alex
