Nordisk Village Puglia
Italy / Manduria, Puglia
Full description
Sleep under the stars, in a hygge-infused cotton tent secluded on the mesmerising grounds of an ancient wine estate in the heel of Italy's ‘boot', with dreamy white-sand beaches practically on the doorstep.
With its global catalogue of specially-selected, picture-perfect locations, Nordisk Village has taken the well-known Danish buzzword ‘hygge' (meaning "comfortable and cosy") to sumptuous new levels.
The simple concept behind Nordisk Village is for guests to savour the Great Outdoors in all its breath-taking glory, with modern, eco-friendly facilities, and a warm sense of community.
All of this is exactly what you'll discover at Nordisk Village Puglia, nestled within the fortified walls of the historic Masseria Cuturi wine estate (‘Masseria' means "farm" in English).
Here you'll be beautifully surrounded by soul-soothing rural luxury, in the form of restored Primitivo vineyards, ancient olive groves, fascinating archaeological sites that date back to around 300 BCE, and millennium-old forest land in which Emperor Frederick II whiled away his time during the 1200s.
And as if all that wasn't quite enough, the magnificent white-sand beaches of Manduria are a mere stone's throw away.
Sleep soundly in one of six expertly-designed ‘Vanaheim' cotton tents, each one enchantingly secluded within the Bosco Cuturi forest. Wake to the gentle sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong, then watch the golden sun rising over the estate and surrounding vineyards - a visual treat to ease you into the day.
Each tent sleeps up to four guests in one spacious open-plan room that's cosily furnished with a double and two single beds. Minimalist, clean-lined Scandi style is the order of the day here, so you can also expect plenty of natural furnishings and high-quality textiles to help you relax.
There is also a range of welcoming facilities to make you feel perfectly at home, including a delicious breakfast created from home-made bread and fresh local ingredients, served on the scenic restaurant terrace every morning.
You will also have access to a generous masonry bathroom, a mini-bar, a swimming pool to splash around in, and an air-conditioned relaxation room.
There's a plethora of activities to enjoy on site, too, including wine tasting (of course!), foraging and cycling tours, and local cultural experiences.
But if you'd rather explore on your own terms, you'll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural delights of this magical part of the world, from hiking and cycling, to swimming and kayaking.
All are ideal ways to help you work up a healthy appetite for your return to Nordisk Village, just in time to welcome that awe-inspiring Puglia sunset with glass of your favourite wine.
Things to note
Guests are encouraged to bring weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.
