Masseria Relais del Cardinale Fasano - Hotels Brindisi Puglia

Description Masseria Relais del Cardinale Fasano - Hotels in provincia di Brindisi

Positioned in a strip of land between the last remaining woods of Murgia and the sandy creeks of the Adriatic sea, “Relais del Cardinale” enjoys a hot, dry and windy climate. Located in a XVI century “masseria” with 65 rooms, the estate spreads out over 100 hectares of land, covered by more than 3,000 ancient olive trees.
The masseria “Relais del Cardinale”, among the most prestigious in Puglia, was once the seat of the Knights of Malta and is now the historic bailiwick's seat of the Byzantine Order of the Holy Sepulchre.
Built in limestone and clay, the “masseria” was enriched over the centuries with monumental portals and terraces.
Recently converted into a 5 star luxury relais for demanding and refined guests, it offers a mix of comfort and relax.
The surrounding territory is rich in extraordinary archaeological sites, like Egnazia, famous for its precious cave settlements of Basilian monks, or the Safari Zoo, where hundreds of animal species coexist, or even a dolphinarium and an amusement area to delight the younger visitors.
Suggested destinations for nearby excursions by bike or along footpaths include the white city of Ostuni, the famous trulli of Alberobello, the underground caverns of Castellana, the ceramics of Grottaglie, and the oasis of Torre Guaceto, even a dip in the crystal clear water of the Adriatic sea.
