"Beautiful stay. Thank you very much!"

"Cant say enough about the owner ! It was quite the gem !!"

"Great House, Our extended family of 12 comfortably fit in the house. Having five bathrooms was a big plus. Raffaele was very responsive before our arrival and helped us contact a cook that served a wonderful dinner at the property. Tiziana, who did the check-in was very helpful throughout our stay. The location is in the middle of many important locations in Puglia, although it took us some time to find the house"

"The home itself is beautiful, but there are several things guests should be aware of. Inside the main house, there are only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Unfortunately, the shower is not functional — the holder for the showerhead is broken, so you have to sit in the bathtub and use the handheld piece. It was honestly one of the most stressful shower experiences I’ve had.Air conditioning is also an issue. There is only one unit near the front door, which somewhat cools the two bedrooms if you keep the doors open, but that means giving up all privacy. The kitchen and living room area have no air conditioning. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem if you could keep the beautiful doors open for a breeze, but there are no screens or mosquito guards. Because of this, the house becomes infested with mosquitoes, which was unbearable. We also noticed ants and other bugs on the floor. While I understand the home is surrounded by nature, better upkeep and pest control would make a huge difference for guests.The other bedrooms are located outside of the main house. This could be ideal for some groups, but for us it wasn’t — we wanted to stay together as a family. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped, the outdoor grill was great, the pool was wonderful, and the long dining tables with plenty of chairs made for lovely group dinners. Those features really added to our stay.Overall, though, the home fell short in terms of comfort and luxury, which was disappointing."

"it was a good place for a price paid "

"We had 20 people and 1 baby stay at this wonderful masseria. We utilized the chef for all breakfast, 1 lunch and 2 dinners. She was wonderful. We all had our own rooms or suites. The daybeds were very comfortable, the linens were very nice and all the rooms were so clean and comfortable. We loved having this whole property to ourselves.The masseria is not run as a hotel so you do not have access to the kitchen. There are plenty of helpers and all are professional and respectful.The masseria is located outside of Monopoli (about 20 min drive) which was my favorite town to visit during this trip. Most other towns are 30-45 mins away but worth visiting. We were set up through the masseria to work with Pugliamare tour company for our itinerary and help with transportation.In all our family vacation with grandparents down to toddlers was wonderful."

"Breakfast area was very small for the amount of rooms. Many mornings guests had to wait to eat. Some left wihout eating because they had thing to do & appointments to meet."

"This "

"Great on pictures but didn’t live up to it in reality. Bathroom, sink and shower were smelly. The toilet seat was broken. We also had a bad experience due to a lost item and the hotel was not helpful. When we drove back to find the item The kitchen staff were lovely though. "
