  : The location is what you pay for at this masseria. It has the most gorgeous beach 5-10 minutes walk away. Really close drive to Otranto too. They offered bikes (free hire) which was a nice touch. The pool area was nice and big, never an issue getting a sun bed. Personally, I think this is a great place to come with a family. If you want a quiet, romantic break, maybe not the ideal base.
  : Having come from a high quality masseria elsewhere in Puglia, we had high expectations. This masseria is more hotel than rustic, Italian farmhouse. The room was a bit small considering what we had paid and unfortunately there were quite a lot of ants in the kitchenette area. However, the staff were very friendly and attentive which made up for the cons.

  : The staff, facilities, pool and dining experiences were fabulous. The facials we had by L'Essenza in the spa area were exquisite!! Will definitely return.
  : I was travelling with my 80 year old aunt and the 300m to beach was not accurate. It was 300m to see the sea but then you needed to be a mountain goat to access the sea!!

  : The location of this property is the best thing about it - 5 minute stroll through a forest area to a lovely secluded beach with beautiful clear water, and a short drive to Otranto. The property also provides bikes for free which is a great way to reach Otranto in 20 mins. The pool area is also amazing - quiet and surrounded by nature. Staff are all very welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was varied with local produce. We were lucky enough to receive a welcome dinner at the hotel (a lovely touch), a traditional Italian meal, 4 courses with a variety of fish available, which we rated highly. The appartment itself was immaculate with everything you need for your stay.
  : With the grounds being so beautiful we would have appreciated some different areas to sit and enjoy. The restaurant area itself could be improved upon as it is missing some charm and atmosphere.
