History

Torre Coccaro is a Masseria built not far from the sea whose origins date from the XVI century. Surrounded by antique olive trees, almond trees and carobs, this tower, once a stronghold against the Turks, has now become a five star resort whose aim is to bring back the guests to the antique natural life and make them benefit in full from the simple pleasures of rural life.

The courtyard hosts an ancient chapel dating from 1730 where the people of Savelletri, a fishermen’s village nearby, walked to worship the patron saints, before reaching the tufara, the quarry where the tuffs to build the farm were cut; this tufara has now become the vegetable garden of the farm; along an ancient pergola from which the resourceful irrigation technology can be observed.

The Masseria is ideally located at the center of Puglia near the Baroque Town of Lecce, the Coastal Towns of Monopoli with the antique Port and the Castle on the Sea, Polignano a Mare famous for wonderful Ice Cream and with Breathtaking views from the High cliffs, and the Town of Trani with the cathedral on the sea.
