Masseria Muzza
Rustic-luxe masseria retreat. Quiet, pastoral, very Italian. Whitewashed stone everywhere, arched ceilings, private patios, olive groves as far as you can see. Feels like an elevated agriturismo rather than a slick hotel.
Book the sunset-view suites for the Alimini Piccolo Lake panorama — especially worth it at golden hour
Why It Matters
Baglioni took over the historic Masseria Muzza in 2021 and opened it in May 2022, bringing five-star Italian hospitality standards to one of Puglia's most evocative rural settings. The property is both Michelin Guide–listed and part of the Tablet Hotels collection. The underground Baglioni SPA and the sunset views over Alimini Piccolo Lake are genuine standouts.
A 17th-century Puglian farmhouse turned five-star resort, Baglioni Masseria Muzza sits in the Salento countryside just 10 minutes outside Otranto. Whitewashed limestone walls, star-vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and 41 rooms and suites done in off-whites and stone tones — it's the classic masseria formula, executed at a high level. The spa is notably large for a property of this size, going underground with a sauna, indoor pool, Kneipp path and four treatment cabins. Baia dei Turchi beach is a short shuttle ride away, and the Alimini Lakes nature reserve is practically next door.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe Room
Stylish double room with whitewashed walls, a comfortable double bed, modern bathroom with sensory shower, and a private furnished patio looking onto greenery. All the standard Baglioni touches: minibar, flat-screen TV, premium bedding, robes and slippers.
Deluxe Suite
Light, calming colours that blend traditional Puglian style with modern comforts. Full living area, bedroom, futon, and a stone bathroom. Premium bedding, minibar, soundproofing as standard.
Deluxe Sunset View Room
Spacious and bright with a generous living area and a private furnished patio oriented toward the Salento sunset. One of the better-value rooms if you want evening views without going full suite.
Duplex Room
Spread over two levels: the upper floor has an open-plan layout with a comfortable double bed, and the lower floor holds the bathroom and a cozy sitting area that opens onto a private furnished patio. A good pick for anyone who likes a bit of internal space and vertical interest.
Executive Suite
Top-tier accommodation in the property, with premium bedding, minibar, soundproofing, and free WiFi. The most spacious suite category.
Family Room
