For those seeking a relaxed getaway at a boutique luxury resort where the focus by the entire staff is you and anything you need to make your stay unforgettable, Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel in Puglia, Italy, is the answer to all your travel desires. A family affair, the hotel is now operated by second-generation Gianvito Mangano who has been hard at work since 2019 reimagining everything that this seaside hotel can be by maintaining focus on elevated services and unparalleled hospitality.
The proof is the hotel’s five-star status, Michelin Key, and repeat guests that look forward to their return visits where they can truly escape the rush of everyday life in the heart of Puglia in Torre Canne, complete with world-class culinary offerings, a spa offering personalized services, beautiful room and suite options, and the invigorating sounds and scents of the Adriatic Sea just steps from the hotel.
Accommodations
With 49 rooms and suites to choose from when planning your visit to Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel, you not only have options but know that there’s not a bad choice as each one has been designed to be the ultimate escape. From the soothing colors and spacious design to the rich textures and luxurious amenities, this is unmistakably Puglia at its finest. A standout option is the Executive Suite, ideally located with stunning views out over the pool and onto the sea. Whether you want to lounge on your private balcony and keep an eye on the kids in the pool or sit with your loved one and take in the peaceful sea views, this sophisticated suite is perfection. However, if a suite is not available, the Superior Plus room is another favorite, featuring a private patio with hot tub and convenient ground floor location.
Dining
Wake up to a grand breakfast with international flavors, including many Italian favorites and local delicacies. You’ll find that amazing food is always available during your stay — from breakfast to the casual lunches and delicious dinners, the staff is ready to go above and beyond to impress you with their bountiful offerings. Think fresh fish and perfectly baked pizza overlooking the sea at Giùammare Osteria Contemporanea for a lunch that you won’t soon forget. Then take your seat for dinner at Autentico Wine & Restaurant, allowing the warm hospitality of the chef and staff to take you through a meal that is more of an event for large groups, families, couples, or solo travelers. Everyone is treated to a treasured culinary journey. With a creative flair and pure passion for local flavors, ingredients, and recipes, the dishes pay homage to the Apulian traditions; and with a menu that changes by the season, let the highly capable team guide your menu decisions for a night of amazing food with wine pairings (or go with incredible cocktails or mocktails to personalize your meal).
Experiences
The guest services members of the team at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel are phenomenal, offering a number of options available for guests seeking localized experiences. Beyond these adventures, there are infinite ways to fill your days. Start at the famous blue door and venture to the beach, take a left and simply walk. Within a few minutes, you’ll find yourself at Porto Torre Canne where you can walk among the locals, take photos of the majestic lighthouse, and enjoy a cappuccino (or gelato) as the locals do at Al Buco, a Torre Canne institution. With miles of seaside paths and acres of olive trees just minutes from the hotel, borrow one of the electric bikes to further explore the area at your own pace.
At the hotel, take a cooking class to learn how to make orecchiette or other local favorites; visit the spa for a bespoke treatment or set up a seaside massage; or inquire about a session of yoga to unwind. Locally, visit one of the wineries for a private tour and wine tasting; take a Segway tour of the iconic round trullo houses in Alberobello for an unforgettable and eye-opening experience; or arrange an afternoon or evening on a boat, either fishing for dinner or taking in the views of the coast from a different perspective.
When you think of warm Italian hospitality, the ownership and staff at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel take pride in providing guests with the highest level of hospitality at every step of the travel experience. The uniforms change each season, always supporting a local designer, which adds to the overall seaside chic feeling you get from the moment you drive through the gates of this boutique resort. It is open seasonally but does stay open through the December holidays, and the lights and decorations simply add to the appeal.
When traveling in this region, it’s best to have a rental car since taxi and Uber services are not available. However, the hotel can arrange transportation, so set up these reservations before you arrive. If you’ve thought of adding Puglia to your Italy itinerary, you won’t be disappointed in the destination, locals, culture, seafood, pizza, pasta, wine, olive oil, and so much more that you’ll soon discover.
