Masseria AuraTerrae: a haven of history, nature, and wellness in Puglia
Located between Polignano a Mare and Conversano, in the heart of Puglia, Masseria AuraTerrae is an extraordinary example of restoration and enhancement of an ancient agricultural village dating back to the 1600s. Built from local limestone, this masseria preserves its historical and architectural elements intact, offering guests a stay immersed in Apulian tradition and authenticity.
The vast property extends over more than 24 hectares of fertile land, including ancient olive groves, lush vineyards, orchards, and biodynamic vegetable gardens. This natural landscape is not only a source of fresh and genuine raw materials for the local cuisine but also allows guests to enjoy sensory experiences in direct contact with nature.
Rooms and services for a stay dedicated to relaxation
Masseria AuraTerrae offers 22 rooms created from the original spaces of the masseria, including stables, wine presses, dovecotes, cisterns, and wood sheds. Each room is unique and characterized by a sober and elegant style, inspired by the natural tones and materials of the territory. Some rooms are equipped with exclusive comforts such as:
- private Turkish bath

The "Mareincielo" restaurant is housed in the ancient monks’ refectory, transforming it into a place where traditional Apulian cuisine is creatively reinterpreted. Only local and seasonal products are used here, enhanced with traditional cooking methods such as the wood-fired oven, for an authentic and flavorful gastronomic experience.
For those seeking complete relaxation, the masseria offers two panoramic infinity pools immersed in lush nature, with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding countryside. One pool is equipped with a whirlpool feature, while the outdoor barrel sauna provides a moment of regeneration accompanied by Apulian landscapes.
