Masseria San Domenico

What Masseria San Domenico does

Masseria San Domenico is a 5-star luxury resort operated by the Italian private limited company Iniziative San Domenico s.r.l. (P.IVA 01219360748), located in Savelletri di Fasano (Brindisi), Puglia, Italy. Opened in 1996 within a restored 14th/15th-century fortified farmhouse originally used by the Knights of Malta, the property comprises 40 non-smoking rooms and suites plus the Il Villino private villa, set on 60 hectares of centuries-old olive trees and orchards 500 meters from the Adriatic coast. The resort enforces an adults-only policy (guests aged 14+).

The property operates an integrated luxury hospitality platform spanning four pillars: accommodation in 40 keys; F&B across multiple venues including the 18th-century San Domenico Restaurant, San Domenico By The Pool, La Nassa beach restaurant, and Bar Le Terrazze; a SPA-Thalasso center built around a thalassotherapy system that draws seawater from approximately 400 meters below sea level, filters and heats it to 37°C, and circulates it through state-of-the-art equipment including a unique 18°C→16°C thermogenesis bath; and recreation anchored by the 18-hole San Domenico Golf course, two tennis courts, an outdoor seawater pool, and two private beach clubs (San Domenico a Mare and La Fonte). Events and weddings are hosted in Salone San Domenico (243 sqm) and supporting venues.

Revenue is generated through direct booking via the property's own website (Synxis-powered), supplemented by Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend tier, Virtuoso, and I Prefer Hotel Rewards distribution. Pricing is quote-based for rooms with published packages for golf (€1,150–€1,790 per person for three nights in 2026) and wellness programs (Mediterranean Remise en Forme at €80/day supplement). Customer segments include affluent leisure travelers, golf enthusiasts, wellness seekers, destination weddings, and corporate retreats. Marketing relies on the company's own website content, Facebook/Instagram presence, email newsletter, regional Puglia itineraries, and luxury consortia referral.
