Description: Masseria Torre CoccaroTorre Coccaro is a "masseria" dating back to the 16th century. Built not far from the sea and surrounded by ancient olive trees, almond trees and carobs, and once a stronghold against the Turks, it has now become a five star resort whose aim is to take guests back to a traditional life close to nature so they can benefit in full from the simple pleasures of rural life.The courtyard features a chapel from 1730 where the people of Savelletri, a fishermen's village nearby, walked to worship the patron saints, before reaching the "tufara", the quarry where the tuffs (volcanic rock) used to build the farm were cut. This quarry has now become the farm's vegetable garden along an ancient pergola overlooking the ingenious irrigation system. Enjoy the exclusive lounge on the private sandy beach, a quiet and refined place to lap up the sun on beach mattresses, and sample the bar services and snacks. Try the boutique massages and don't miss the fish restaurant - sushi and oyster bar. A private 14 mt yacht will bring you to Polignano a Mare caves and the ancient harbour of Monopoli so you can enjoy the pleasure of a safe swim in crystal-water coves.
