We had a wonderful experience in Masseria dei Monaci. We arrived quite late and still the manager of the place was waiting for us. We were quite hungry, yet even though the kitchen was already close she kindly prepared a simple but delicious local dish with tuna, tomato, bread and olive oil together with some local beers. The room was quite stylish and very comfortable. The masseria itself is just wonderful, we really enjoyed our short but fantastic time there. Breakfast was really tasty, we had fruits, nutella, several home made cakes and muffins. The location is walking distance from some of the best beaches in Puglia and also the Laghetto Cave di Bauxite, a must see! Overall brilliant value for money, absolutely recommended!

Would be good to have some more salty options for breakfast.

We just loved our stay at Masseria dei Monaci! The appartment was beautiful and clean, everybody was nice and welcoming, the whole masseria wonderful with pretty details and many nice spots to relax, the location is the perfect starting point for discovering the coast, the beaches and Otranto. We had dinner at the Masseria one night and it was just really great! So happy that we spend three days of our puglia-trip there! We for sure wanna come back!

A very pleasant masseria to stay. Peace, tranquility and a very pleasant atmosphere. Good breakfast and beautiful pool with nice sunbeds. Experienced amazing service from the owners and workers and even got an upgrade to a more expensive room. Definitely a great place to relax, also the location is great, just a few minutes drive to the city center. Highly recommended.

nothing. all was perfect

Really close to Otranto, fantastic location, you can see the sea from the garden. Really clean, elegant and detailed oriented. Breakfast is served in a really nice venue and it offers typical homemade cakes and coffee. I would 100% recommend!

What a beautiful property the rooms are very large with stylish decor. The ground are immaculate and the pool is gorgeous. It’s a great base to explore the region and otranto is a 4 min drive. We had a delicious dinner at the property and breakfast is all homemade and yummy.

The property is very well situated close to Otranto. The facilities are amazing. The room was spacious and very well decorated, so was all the property. We felt very welcomed by the hosts who did everything to make our stay perfect! We also loved the homemade breakfast! We definitely recommend it!

The staff was friendly upon arrival and all the way through check out. Very nice with helping us to get situated to our room and taking our bags. The room was neat and clean. the breakfast area was very nicely appointed and the architecture was interesting with the wooden beams in the ceiling. Breakfast was plentiful. When covid restrictions are lifted it will feel more like a regular breakfast experience where you can help yourself instead of being served by someone. That may sound nice but it is tedious to point to this item then this one. I imagine it is hard on the server to give a la carte service for a buffet style. Dinner was prepared by a one star Michellin Chef and was quite interesting meal. It was nice in the country and nearby to the old Otronto Lecce and points south. Great 15 minute walk direct from the hotel to the coast to take a 2 hour walk. It was unspoiled terrain and amazing views. You must try this walk. Take a camera. Beautiful sunsets by the gazebo over the Hotel.

The language barrier was 90% of the time not an issue. I need to learn Italian! But communication challenges were present when it came to the fine points and particulars of concerns that needed to be addressed. There hot water service issue was quickly resolved. On our day we could not take back-to-back showers without experiencing some fluctuation in the temperature of the water and the water temperature went all the way to cold but given enough time, 10 minutes, the water does return to warm again. It is the inconsistency of the water temperatures during and between showers that was a minor inconvenience. But it was handled well by the staff. Perhaps just an a one time event there? I thought it would be more of a pastural farm setting . It is in open spaces just not a farm like setting.

Everything was amazing. It exceeded my expectations

Everything was just perfect!

Very nice and clean Masseria with a lovely garden and good swimmingpool. Very good breakfast and when you order tea in the afternoon it is served with housemade cakes.

The beds could be more comfortable and we missed a little nespresso machine in the room.

Very relaxing (lots of sunbeds, view on the sea , very nice garden, very nice orangerie where good breakfast is served Location somewhat outside (1.5 km) Otranto, but therefor very quiet and providing wide views on the sea Within walking distance to the bauxite mine (red sand and green water ) Very kind dogs (LLuis and ....) at the end of the garden

Air conditioning on top floor did not work

Wonderful Place, close to Ostuni with a beautiful pool and garden area. The Restaurant is great, the staff was very helpful and nice and the room was very comfortable and big.

the domain was stunning, very well maintained and decorated.

the swimming pool is quite small for the amount of people and one paying “jacuzzi” where no one was.

The location is close to Otranto on adjacent to excellent shoreline hiking trails. The pool area is beautiful and tranquil.

Air conditioning was not available (turned off) for all rooms - per management due to local government restrictions at certain times. With daytime highs of 88F (21C) our sleeping rooms became too warm and stuffy to sleep. Our unit had only 2 doors (and one tiny bathroom window) we could open to let in cooler night air. Unfortunately the doors are not screened and indeed flies, mosquitoes, and moths fly in. These discomforts together with “rules” that forbid among other things, drinking my own wine outside where its cooler, and wearing my shoes on return from our hike were very frustrating.

Very nice location, great room, excellent breakfast. The owner was very welcoming and kind. We will definitely come back!
