Atmosphere and setting: Set on a panoramic hill between Polignano a Mare and Conversano, the property feels secluded and restorative, with wide-open views that swing between coastline and countryside.

Rooms with character: The stay is built around 22 individually different rooms created from historic farm spaces, styled in an essential, nature-led palette with soft lighting and a calm, private feel.

In-room comforts: Expect practical upscale touches like free Wi‑Fi, Smart TV, minibar, coffee machine, kettle, safe, bathrobes and slippers, plus thoughtful extras such as hair straightener and a vertical steamer available on request.

Standout categories: Some rooms add special features like private patios/terraces, fireplaces, in-room steam baths, or outdoor whirlpool tubs; the most private options include a garden with an outdoor hydromassage pool.

Pools and wellness focus: Two outdoor infinity pools anchor the experience—one facing Polignano a Mare and another oriented toward the Abbey of San Vito—plus an outdoor barrel sauna and a menu of massages and holistic rituals.

Food and on-site experiences: The restaurant leans into Adriatic seafood and inland Puglia produce, with ingredients also coming from the property’s biodynamic garden, alongside bookable activities like vineyard aperitivi and Puglian cooking classes.

Getting around: Because Masseria Auraterrae sits in the countryside, you’ll likely want a car (or arranged transfers) for beaches, the cliffs of Polignano a Mare, and nearby towns.

Not a “walk-out” beach stay: The sea is part of the view, but the day-to-day rhythm is more pool-and-spa than stepping straight onto sand.

Room choice matters: With many room types and layouts spread across different areas, the best fit depends on whether you prioritize terraces, extra privacy, or wellness features like steam baths.
