The Details

What makes it Kobu

Centuries-old olive trees surround the Masseria, extending over eight hectares towards the coast. Enjoy a barefoot morning under the trees, and sample our own organic olive oil made from the masseria’s harvests. Go for a walk in the olive groves and visit the masseria’s two adopted rescue donkeys that live there, enjoying an easy life relaxing in the sun.

Much of the ancient Masseria was constructed from tufa stone, quarried from the grounds of the property itself. The hotel’s architectural interventions blend seamlessly with these original structures, built sympathetically in traditional whitewashed stone. Historic details such as high vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, and alcoves embedded in the deep walls have all been carefully preserved. The interiors combine local materials with international touches, creating a welcoming, contemporary take on a Puglian Masseria.
