A GUIDE TO PUGLIA
Gustavo and Marc, owners of Masseria Partemio share their black book of go-to places in Puglia.
WHERE TO EAT
Taverna del Porto, Tricase
Two brothers turned their father’s fish mongers shop into a simple yet uber chic fish restaurant on the seafront. There are a few dishes but they are fresh, fresh, fresh and incredibly yummy. They make their own delicious bread and their pastries are stellar – this simplicity and chicness of this place is hard to replicate.
Pizzeria Lupppolo e Farina
One of the best pizza stops in all of Puglia and it’s located in Latiano.They offer about 50 different types of pizza on both thick and thin crusts and follow a slow food menu – it’s delicious.
Osteria del Tempo Perso, Ostuni
These guys always deliver. The food is excellent and so is the venue. It is classic old school and it’s where we always send our guests because they are so consistent in their quality. It has never disappointed us.
Enobotegga Fantini, San Vito dei Normanni
Family run business. It’s a wine shop with specialty wines not found in supermarkets
and also has a deli, kitchen and restaurant with daily specials.Unpretentious with great food and great pricing.This is our “go to” place.
Lo Scalo, Marina de Novaglie
If you have something to celebrate go to Lo Scalo. It is by the sea at the tip of Puglia and the fish is as delicious as the view.
BEACHES
Togo Bay
If you are looking for a contemporary and modern beach club that has beautiful people and staff and is not pretentious, then try Togo Bay. It helps that the service and music is great and that you are in the beautiful waters of the Ionic Sea where the sand is white and the water is see through blue.
VISIT
Pastificio Al Mattarello, San Vito dei Normanni
A family run pasta factory that has been going daily for the past 40 years. Luccio and Giovanna front the place and have over 30 types of hand-made, fresh pasta they make daily. A staple on the Partemio menu.
Via Salvo D'Acquisto, 50, 72019 San Vito dei Normanni BR, Italy
Caseificio Lanzillotti, San Vito dei Normanni
Our go to cheesemaker in San Vito dei Normanni. They make fresh cheeses daily and specialize in Burrata stuffed with tuna, blue cheese, pistachio, truffles and other delicious fillings.This is on Partemio’s menu and always leaves our guests impressed.
Via Vito Oronzo Errico, 33, 72019 San Vito dei Normanni BR, Italy
STAY
Masseria Partemio
Masseria Partemio is a lovingly restored nobleman’s house dating back to 1753. She sits hidden among centenarian olive trees, where privacy and stillness abound. Partemio breathes the past while offering a setting that is luxurious, yet carefree and unpretentious. The rooms and suites celebrate Puglia, its colours, textures, history, and warm-hearted people.
Walk barefoot on her floors, sip a drink in the rooftop bar, and enjoy your coffee on a sun-drenched terrace. Stroll the gardens, dip in the pool, relax or meditate in the oak forest. Sleep under her arches or simply enjoy the stillness and light that embrace you. When you stay at Partemio, you’re not in a hotel, but at your best friend’s house. We are perfectly imperfect, and that’s exactly how we intend to remain.
Authentic and rural, yet modern and contemporary, Masseria Partemio has been designed as your home and hideaway in the Puglian countryside.
We are centrally located between Ostuni and Lecce and close to all the major sights of Puglia. We are 20 minutes from the International Airport in Brindisi and easily accessible from the highways that connect Brindisi to Taranto and Bari to Lecce.
