The 14-room Tenuta Specolizzi is a working farm partially converted into a boutique hotel or spa B&B. This special find is tucked along the Ionian seacoast, within a 15-minute drive of several exquisite, white-sand beaches, such as Pesculose -- known as the Salento Maldives. The hotel is an agribusiness, producing olive oil, jam, and other artisanal delicacies, including jarred artichokes and olive oil-based beauty products. The spa and two pools feel four-star, while the simple but super-clean rooms feel homey and warm (but not as luxe), making a stay here charming and restorative.
