Masseria De Donno

One masseria, many stories, your holiday.

In the heart of Salento, just minutes from the area’s most characteristic places and its loveliest beaches, our masseria offers every comfort you need for a perfect holiday. Far from noisy nightspots, yet right in the centre of the ancient village of Specchia.

Our swimming pool, our quiet and carefully kept rooms and our large garden await you, with parking in the shade of the big pepper trees inside the masseria.

Nothing is missing: you have everything you need to recharge and enjoy your holiday full of energy. Your hosts, the owners Gianpiero and Novella, will make you feel welcome.

Your garden

What could be better, after an intense day spent in the sea of Salento, than a little relaxation in the cool of our large garden, always caressed by a fresh breeze, among the scent of flowers and aromatic plants, stretched out on a sun lounger or on the grass in the shade of a tree.
In the evening, if you wish, you can dine in the garden at the tables reserved for you, perhaps after cooking in the well-equipped kitchen.
You can pick the fruit of the season and enjoy it just as it is picked. Tasty mulberries, figs, bananas, plantains, feijoas, prickly pears, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, persimmons, almonds, jujubes and blackberries are waiting for you here… what are you waiting for?
