Guest reviews
Fabulous
Liked: The pool was nice for when the afternoon was really hot. On cooler days it is unsuitable as the water is very cold. The pool "view" is exactly as it is on the photo: a view of the house but nothing else as it is surrounded by a high hedge ( see pics ) The food was very good in the restaurant with good service. The waiter Pietro and waitress at breakfast were very hospitable and friendly. Breakfast was freshly made scrambled or hard boiled eggs + croissants ( very tasty ), cheese and fruit and stale bread. It was very good quality on the whole but didn't change for the whole 5 days apart from ricotta one morning instead of mozzarella.
Disliked: Don't expect to sleep well.There were dogs barking all through the night every night (2am, 2.30, 3am and 4.30am on the first night). At one point,one of the two dogs roaming around was right outside the door of the room barking. It was impossible to sleep. Another younger dog was locked up a cage and it was also barking at nothing all evening. Other guests MUST have heard the dogs and if they do not leave an opinion on this,I would assume they just do not wish to leave a bad review. No host was there to meet us at the property and no instructions were sent about checking in or finding parking at the rear.There is no clear signage either. The reception seems to be in the butcher shop which was closed when we arrived. We had to go into the restaurant and ask waiting staff who got us the key for the room in between servicing a large christening party in the restaurant. The so-called mini market on site is the butchers shop which sells meat, bottles of the house wine only or olive oil in very large tins that a restaurant might buy. That's it. It does not sell basic essentials. There are no rental bikes on site - you are simply given a phone number of an independent company and have to organise them yourself. The WiFi doesn't work inside the rooms the majority of the time. I did send the host two requests via booking.com during the stay but got no response. There are donkeys, chickens, roosters, geese and even an ostrich - all locked up in pens..a bit more like a zoo than a farm.
Fulfilled my Trulli ambition!
Liked: We were looking for a Trulli & Masseria experience which this combined nicely and convenient on our tour down through Puglia by car. It was spacious, quiet, rural but you could appreciate the farm around you. The room seemed a better compromise than some others we researched (small and in town vs too modernised without the authenticity) and I felt we had a pretty nice mix and a real trulli. It is pretty cool waking up and seeing the trulli roof, I really loved that. Comfy bed, nice light bathroom. Staff generally very nice. Easy to get to.
Disliked: I think the lounge/kitchen lacked some very easy comforts. For a 2 room trulli (one bed, one lounge - well actually the bedroom slept 3 and i think maybe there was a sofa bed too), there was one wine glass and one mug, no cork screw, but a massive fridge freezer. No way we could have self catered. For the best part of E200 a night (in mid late Sept), lacking in cheap detail and just some homely decor. I dont think such additions would take away from the authentic experience, I think they would have sold it!! WIFI basically does not work and UK EE signal too weak to do much with. I was very excited by the home farm dinner. You dont need the E40 set menu trust me, even the biggest eater cant get through that. It was decent to be fair and amazing value for the quantity of food. Not all to our taste but thats our personal taste rather than the food. There's a reason the wine is cheap. I definitely would not be put off going here, it's a lovely spot and we enjoyed our stay.
Great food, basic accommodation, noisy pool
Liked: Food is amazing and all from the working farm, room is fairly large and there is a pool and plenty of space. Close to a couple of lovely towns, Locorotondo only 5 minutes and Martina Franca maybe 10 minutes.
Disliked: Facilities are quite basic, although sort of to be expected. We would have preferred if the Wi-Fi reached the room and not just the common areas too. The pool is lovely albeit the owner rents it out on a daily basis to local people, so it was very noisy and crowded for the duration of our stay, expect around 40-50 children screaming at once. The owner did let us swim before the pool opened to the public in the mornings though which was nice. It’s very much a working farm so bear in mind everything that will come with that. The restaurant was also closed the night we arrived and we weren’t aware of that prior which was a bit of a shame.
Very nice but sadly marred by not having a tranquil pool area and having to leave the Masseria in order to find a place
Liked: Great location, near the sea, and lots of lovely Villages
Disliked: Pool area inundated by locals and noisy children who came for the day on all the days we were there, making it impossible for the residents to enjoy the pool and we were forced to escape to the seaside to be able to swim, which defeated the purpose of staying at a Masseria with a pool! Also - they make it a rule that you need to wear an awful swimming cap, which makes no sense when all the tiny children were allowed to urinate in the pool by their parents - we saw this actively encouraged by parents quite a few times during our stay!
Very dissapointed for what we expected and wanted
Liked: The pool could have been nice and we had a good bottle of home produced wine.
Disliked: We booked a Standard Room because it fitted our budget. I wouldn't recommend it. The room itself and the bathroom were a good size, clean and comfortable but there are no "extras" like coffee machine, kettle, glasses, etc. It is situated down an alleyway (not a pleasant place to sit) and next to the farm yard. We slept ok on our first night but terrible on the second. Dogs barking through the early hours, what sounded like a generator coming on at 04.10 and people working in the yard shouting loudly by 6.30. One of the main reasons for booking here was to enjoy relaxing by the pool. The pool itself is lovely but it is used by schools and the general public and so very noisy! It certainly wasn't relaxing!! Our stay was in early July but not school holidays.
Great place to enjoy fresh food and beautiful landscapes
Liked: It was relaxing, beautiful and clean
