Masseria Corsano
Sleek, modern Italian design hotel wearing a traditional Puglian stone shell. More polished boutique resort than rustic farmhouse retreat. Minimal colour palette of whites, greys and creams. Brand-partnered with Bulgari, Technogym, Talenti and Porsche — which tells you something about the positioning.
The MC Villa Benessere spa is open to external guests — worth booking even if you're staying elsewhere nearby
Why It Matters
One of the very few Salento masserie that leans fully into contemporary luxury rather than trading on rustic patina. Every suite has a private jacuzzi terrace. The MC Villa Benessere spa is open to external non-guests. The Ristorante Pietra harvests from its own garden and serves genuine Apulian cooking. The Tower Suite tops it all with a private pool and panoramic terrace over the olive grove.
Masseria Corsano is a 15-suite luxury boutique hotel inside a 17th-century agricultural estate on Puglia's Salento coast. Sports manager Leonardo Giusti and professional footballer Alfred Duncan bought the abandoned property in 2016 and rebuilt it from the ground up. The stacked-stone exterior looks like a classic Puglian farmhouse. Step inside, and it's a different story: clean neutral tones, modern Italian furniture, archways of original stonework, and a Kos Zucchetti whirlpool on every single terrace. It sits just a 13-minute walk from Porto Selvaggio nature reserve, with the Baroque town of Nardò a few miles inland and Lecce roughly an hour by car.

Junior Suite
The entry-level room and arguably the one with the most character. Vaulted ceilings, a king-size bed, and a furnished double outdoor patio with a Kos Zucchetti jacuzzi. Cosy at 29 sqm, but the outdoor space adds real breathing room. Good for a couple who spend most of their time outside.
King-size · 29 sqm
Junior Suite Deluxe
Steps up from the standard Junior Suite with 36 sqm, an in-room freestanding bathtub alongside the outdoor Kos Zucchetti whirlpool, and a living area with sofa bed on the main courtyard. Most have wooden ceilings. The extra 7 sqm and the bathtub make a real difference.
King-size · 36 sqm
Junior Suite Villa Benessere
Located inside the MC Villa Benessere wellness building, 200 metres from the main house. Private garden with outdoor whirlpool, walk-in wardrobe, and direct access to the spa facilities. At 30 sqm it's intimate, but waking up steps from the sauna and Turkish bath is the whole point.
King-size · 30 sqm
Suite
The benchmark suite at 40 sqm — modern, spacious, with two outdoor patio areas and a Kos Zucchetti whirlpool bath. King-size bed, relaxation area, and a dedicated solarium. A clean, unfussy room that does exactly what it promises.
King-size · 40 sqm
Tower Suite
The top option. Positioned on the first floor of the historic central tower, it comes with a 60 sqm private terrace with panoramic views over the olive grove, a Kos Zucchetti jacuzzi, sunbeds, and its own private swimming pool. If the point is privacy and sunset views, this is the room.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Learn hand-rolled pasta — orecchiette, gnocchi, risotto, or pizza — with the hotel chef. It starts in the vegetable garden and ends with an exclusive lunch in the pergola with a dedicated waiter. One of the more genuine masseria-style experiences on offer.
One of the 32 Lounge Bar bartenders guides you through cocktail creation — ingredient selection, mixing technique, and how to make it your own. Available for couples.
An Italian-style picnic outdoors with local Puglian products paired with wine. Simple, relaxed, and done well.
Day use (10am–6pm) in a dedicated suite with heated outdoor jacuzzi, a 60-minute couple's spa session, champagne welcome, and a 3-course lunch or dinner at Ristorante Pietra.
A 24-hour Technogym-equipped fitness room. Fully kitted with proper equipment rather than a token hotel gym.
A dawn horseback ride stopping at the beach for a swim and breakfast at the riding stables. One of the better ways to see the Salento coastline at low season.
A three-hour guided bike ride to Porto Selvaggio nature reserve, passing spunnulate (natural sinkholes), pajare (dry stone huts), and beaten-earth tracks. Ends with a picnic surrounded by nature.
On-site padel court with rackets and accessories available at MC Villa Benessere.
Pickleball court on-site at the masseria grounds.
