In the quiet of 25 hectares of century-old olive trees, lies the Masseria Bosco di Makyva farm home in the heart of Apulia, only 3 km from the Adriatic Sea. An old 19th century rural building, it recently was restored, in order to combine the old flavor of wood and stone with the modern standards of hospitality.

For golf lovers, an 18 hole course is only a few miles away. Boat trips can be organized on request and kyte-surfing, wind-surfing, horse riding, trekking, para-gliding and sailing can all be practiced nearby. The 30 guest rooms and 4 suites of the Masseria Bosco di Makyva do all have a small private garden, or a terrace.
