Vigna a Cielo Aperto, a Masseria that combines tradition and design in a harmonious context.
At the origin of Alessia Perrucci’s vineyard hotel Vigna a cielo aperto was a simple idea to combine winemaking and hospitality.The estate called Vigna a Cielo Aperto covers about 20 hectares of grapevines, centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean Maquis.
From the panoramic position of the “Serre Tarantine”, the 17th century farmhouse, the Masseria, overlooks this rural amphitheater designed by nature and by men over the centuries.
The Masseria offers stunning views of the Ionian sea which is only 4 km far.
Vigna a Cielo Aperto is located in the countryside near Maruggio, a small rural village whose origin are linked to the medieval chivalric order of the Knights of Malta who received the village in commendam. Maruggio is in the heart of the Ionian coast of Salento, south of Manduria, and within short driving distances from the most important south and central Puglian touristic sites like Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli, Taranto, Ostuni and Alberobello.
Maruggio’s coastal area, called Campomarino, is a EU protected site particular for its sand dunes which are covered by Mediterranean Shrubland, a wildlife reserve in terms of biodiversity. The climate is mild and together with the impoverished, rocky soil they provide ideal conditions for vine growing. We are in the heart of the area of production of Primitivo di Manduria DOC, whose dolce naturale has been recently awarded with the DOCG, the top Italian quality wine denomination.
Vigna a Cielo Aperto project starts at the end of the nineties, with the aim of using local grapes to produce quality wine within an environmentally responsible framework. Organic farming and close collaboration with the best agronomists, winemakers and Universities are part of this practice.
In 2007, following careful restoration work, the estate was turned into an elegant relais. The junior suites, which are located between the grapevines and olive trees, have been designed to provide a sensory experience of peace and relaxation in a timeless place.
The Junior Suites are located among centuries-old olive trees, which are visible from the large windows and private terraces that merge the natural beauty of the outdoors with the elegant luxury of the interior.
Spacious rooms with king size bed or French beds, they are fully equipped: floor air conditioning/heating, minibar, satellite TV, phone, safe, courtesy set, hair dryer, large and luxurious shower with cervical massaging shower head. Upon reservation, you may also receive wellness treatments directly in your room.
Every junior suite has a private terrace. Possibility of communicating suites for families with children.
