Our Stays

From a traditional “Masseria” in Puglia, to Matera’s Finest Cave Hotel, and an Icon in Naples, we’ll be resting our heads at the finest properties across Southern Italy.

Rocco Forte Masseria Torre Maizza

Inspired by the sensational landscapes of Puglia and the ethos of Rocco Forte Hotels, Masseria Torre Maizza exquisitely blends local heritage with contemporary luxury and unparalleled service.

Surrounded by ancient olive groves, the renovated 16th-century Masseria is filled with thoughtful design accents and details to create a unique sense of place, from the stunning Olga Polizzi-designed rooms and suites to the romantic sunset rooftop bar and elegant restaurant overlooking the swimming pool. The resort also features a 9-hole executive golf course, a private beach club and an indulgent spa.

Sextantio Le Gotte Della Civita

Imagine waking in a stone cave in Southern Italy that’s been updated with modern amenities while maintaining its centuries-old aesthetic.

With authenticity paramount, the interiors are decorated minimally using indigenous furnishings and materials. The property’s 18 rooms are spacious and full of light. Using indigenous materials to create seating, and beds, Kihlgren has composed a supremely unique accommodation experience. Elegant arches over pocked stone walls and heavy wooden portals are distinct markers and monuments to the preservation of civilizations long gone.

Grand Hotel Parkers

Poised on a hill overlooking the Bay of Naples, Grand Hotel Parker’s is the city’s first and oldest luxury hotel. A beautiful gem restored to its late 19th-century glory, elegant public rooms are adorned with original antiques, and bronze sculptures gleam under chandeliers.

The stage is set for you to enjoy a uniquely sumptuous experience. And in the midst of all this palatial splendour, the effortless boutique style and flawless service add a welcoming, homely ambience.
