Masseria Tenuta Flora Maria is situated in a prime location in the heart of Salento, nestled among the vineyards and olive groves of Leverano, just minutes away from the stunning beaches of Porto Cesareo and some of the region's most captivating cultural sites. This strategic position allows guests to enjoy a balanced stay that combines relaxation, the sea, nature, and exploration.

Porto Cesareo, with its light sandy beaches, clear waters, and well-equipped beach clubs partnered with the masseria for comfort in prime spots, is only 6 km away. In just a short drive, visitors can explore charming towns like Nardò, known for its baroque historic center, Lecce, the jewel of Salento's baroque architecture located only 18 km away, as well as Gallipoli, Galatina, Otranto, and Santa Maria di Leuca, all perfect for day trips.

The center of Leverano, less than 2 km away, is a lively agricultural village famous for its wineries, olive oil mills, and traditional trattorias where local cuisine can be savored. Among the culinary highlights in the area are the wineries “Vecchia Torre” and “Conti Zecca,” as well as the craft brewery “Birra Salento,” which are worth exploring through guided tastings or casual visits.

The masseria serves as an ideal starting point for exploring Salento by bike or on foot, with routes winding through dry stone walls, cultivated fields, and glimpses of Mediterranean scrub. Bicycles are available free of charge for leisurely rides through the vineyards or to the sea, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the landscape. For those who enjoy physical activity, there are jogging circuits through the countryside and morning yoga sessions surrounded by nature for a refreshing start to the day.

During leisure time, guests can take part in Salento cooking workshops to learn how to make orecchiette, pasticciotti, or other local specialties. The masseria also hosts themed dinners featuring farm-to-table products, wine and oil tastings, and evening show-cooking by the pool, all in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere.

Evenings are often lively with live music and engaging pizzica performances, featuring free lessons that turn every gathering into a true celebration of tradition. Thus, the masseria becomes not just a place to stay, but a hub for authentic, cultural, and emotional experiences that truly allow one to discover the essence of Salento.

Tenuta Flora Maria is much more than a masseria: it’s a place to set out from for exploration, yet also a welcoming home to return to each evening, embraced by familiar scents, genuine smiles, and enchanting sunsets.
