Masseria Cisternella  

Perched on the Ionian waterfront in Alliste, this rustic masseria sits a short drive from Baia dei Diavoli and the Regional Natural Park of Litorale di Ugento. Pazzi Island, Torre San Giovanni harbor and the sandy stretches of Baia Verde and Pescoluse (Maldive del Salento) are all within easy reach.

A small country house with just 9 guestrooms, Masseria Cisternella blends historic farmstead character with modern comforts. Rooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, premium bedding and sofa beds, plus private balconies or patios and bathrooms with showers and bidets. The property sits on a gentle slope above the coast amid olive trees, where sea-breeze mornings and warm sunsets shape the vibe. Staff speak English and Italian.

Enjoy a seasonal outdoor pool, bicycles to rent and an on-site bar. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and babysitting/childcare is available for families (surcharge). Expect simple pleasures: poolside afternoons, olive-fringed walks and easy access to local diving and coastal activities.

Practical services include dry cleaning and laundry facilities, luggage storage and free self-parking onsite. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available across the property.

Start each day with a complimentary continental breakfast served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM. Room service is available and the bar offers a relaxed spot for evening drinks after exploring Salento's coast.
