A few months ago, in one of our first blog posts, we shared our rationale why we thought the Taranto, Lecce, and Gallipoli triangle was a prime location for real estate investment, citing its potential for significant capital gains and attractive rental yields. With recent developments, our advice has proven to be right on target, and the urgency to invest has never been greater.

La Maviglia, Campomarino di Maruggio, OPENING IN 2027

The recent announcement of La Maviglia, an old Masseria from Puglia turning into a luxury hotel and golf course in Campomarino di Maruggio, planning to open for the summer of 2027 is just the beginning of a broader trend transforming the region. This development, along with other upcoming projects, is driving increased interest and investment in the area. Recent 5* Hotel openings in the town of Manduria,renowned for its Primitivo wine, like Palazzo Donna Elizabetta and Corte Borromeo have met a lot of success with occupancy rates in 2024 well above their initial targets as well as other openings further down south like the Palazzo Zimara in the town of Lecce.
