From waking up to views of the ocean just beyond rows of olive trees, to meandering in a private garden at golden hour, it's easy to live la dolce vita at Masseria Moroseta.
This airy bed and breakfast in Puglia, Italy is an oasis surrounded by five hundred acres of olive trees, where a slow pace is encouraged by its organic, textured design.
