RETREATS

THE RETREAT TEAM

Our dedicated retreat support team is on-site every day of the week, ready to assist organisers and care for our guests. Whether it’s planning unique local experiences, arranging transport, or handling special requests, they make every stay effortless. Alongside our kitchen and housekeeping teams, they are the true heart of Masseria Specula, ensuring each retreat is smooth, welcoming, and unforgettable.

DINING

Our kitchen is led by a team of wonderful women in their 50s and 60s, each with a lifetime of experience preparing the traditional dishes of Puglia. They cook with the same authentic recipes passed down to them by their mothers, preserving the region’s culinary heritage. We specialise in fresh, local Puglian cuisine, sourcing our fruit and vegetables directly from the surrounding fields.

EXPERIENCES

We curate a variety of experiences, both at our venue and in the beautiful surroundings. At the venue, you can enjoy wine and olive oil tastings, pottery workshops, pasta-making classes, traditional folk dancing with live music, relaxing massages, and more. Beyond our grounds, we can arrange excursions to charming historic towns, horseback riding along the beach, and scenic hikes through the countryside.
