Antica Masseria Ficazzana

In the olive-scented Salento countryside, Antica Masseria Ficazzana is a restored 15th-century masseria just minutes from Pescoluse Beach (the “Maldive del Salento”) and close to Vado Tower and the Ionian Sea. This pet-friendly hotel sits near Torre Pali, Morciano di Leuca Castle and Chiesa Madre, with free on-site parking and a paid airport shuttle available.

Ancient stone walls meet simple, refined rooms: 10 guestrooms (3 junior suites and 7 standard) with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes and private bathrooms (bidets and complimentary toiletries). Junior suites add terraces and tubs; all rooms get daily housekeeping and complimentary bottled water. Take in views from a rooftop terrace or wander the garden and olive groves that surround the estate.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and choose from a rooftop terrace, garden, library, picnic and barbecue areas, plus bicycles to rent. On-property services include a hair salon, tour/ticket assistance, nature trails and the option to book beach or boat excursions. Free self parking is onsite; room service runs during limited hours.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box are available, along with laundry and dry-cleaning services.

The estate’s restaurant serves local Salento flavors with a farm-run approach and celiac-friendly options on request. A daily complimentary continental breakfast is served from 7:30–10:00, and there’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks.
