Super clean, pretty, very comfortable beds, large room, location to town, quiet.

The staff did not seem happy we were there. No hair conditioner, one soap for shampoo and body, no wash cloths. At breakfast if you want yogurt or milk you need to ask for it.

Free parking on the property. Great staff - friendly and attentive. Resort-like grounds with lovely pool area. Very peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast room was a thing of beauty. Great location for day trips. Quick, easy drive to Otranto for dinner if you don't choose the price fixed dinner on site. Great hike from the property all along the coast in either direction. Truly, a very convenient and lovely stay. While there in mid-May, the staff was making continuous improvements to the property. I can only imagine how nice the stay would be in warmer, less windy weather, to take advantage of the pool, outside bar and lounging areas.

There was no real place to relax in the Superior Double room due to the upstairs/downstairs layout. Having said that, the images on Booking were very accurate so that is not a complaint. Just something to take note of when considering not only the resort but also whether a particular room fits your needs. There was an abundance of seating everywhere on property.

Idyllic, peaceful location just a few minutes outside of Otranto town. Our room was perfect, beautifully appointed. Wonderful pool/outdoor area. Breakfast was excellent. All the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more time just relaxing around the hotel/pool.

The only thing I found slightly annoying was that i asked if we might use an iron as we had traveled from New Zealand and some of our clothes were very creased. The staff said if we gave them the clothes they could have them ironed for us, but this would be charged for. There is plenty of room in the wardrobe for an iron and small ironing board and most places we have stayed either have one in the room or you can request one to be brought to your room.

Absolutely stunning place to stay, beautifully appointed and within easy reach of Otranto, not to mention some gorgeous coastal roads, beaches and scenery. Breakfast was fabulous, with a staggering array of Puglian delicacies. Pool spotlessly clean and sparkling in the sunlight. Room was extremely comfortable, tastefully decorated with plenty of space, and the air con kept us cool in the summer heat. We ate a couple of poolside lunches which were very good value, and enjoyed the on-site 3-course dinner very much too. Wines and drinks were very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. I can't think of a thing wrong with this lovely place, except that our stay there was over too soon!

Breakfast was good.Pool and outside areas very pleasant and tranquil. Pool bar good. Willingly supplied towels for beach use. Request for a directors chair for my room was promptly met. Cleanliness of all areas excellent.

You do need a car! Impression given within walking distance of Otranto it is not - no pavement, no street lighting. Options for dinner could be improved - no choice given, almost felt it was not encouraged to eat in. As a result not many people did, so no atmosphere. A shame as location for dining was good and the waiter very friendly and obliging . More printed informat on what to do in the area around Otranto needs to be made available, when asked the Owner’s suggestions were good.

Very good breakfast, lots of choice (all cold). Lovely friendly staff particularly Francesco. Pretty gardens. Comfortable bed. Big room. A couple of minutes drive from Otranto.

More shade needed in the gardens/around the pool. Most sunbeds were in full sun with no umbrella or shade at all. The little patio area behind some of the rooms has no shade at all and it was incredibly hot the first week of July. Also a pity the lovely pool is so very shallow and narrow. It was crowded with more than two people in it at once. Restaurant overpriced for what you get. Breakfast coffee disappointing.

The whole aesthetic of the Masseria is very beautiful and calming. The property has been renovated to a very high standard by the family. We stayed in one of the suites which was gorgeous, the property is maintained meticulously, nothing is out of place! There are a number of rules that are communicated to guests when they arrive, which I understand, however we always as guests are respectful when staying in any accommodation. I must admit every morning to putting all my 'stuff' into the bottom of the wardrobe so it was all tidied away! The breakfast was amazing, such a wonderful selection of savoury and sweet breads, pastries and cakes. We would recommend this to anyone to stay, you do really need to have a car, which wasn't a problem for us as we were staying in a few different places in Puglia.

Breakfast not so good. every moning the same, nothing vegetable, a lot of pastries.

Everything; beautiful property, service second to none, very clean. Owner and staff beyond lovely. Breakfast is the authentic southern Italy experience (not the international pancake, scrambled eggs, croissants and bacon). All products freshly cooked daily, served in a beautifully appointed dining / breakfast room. Dinner served in the garden. Wonderful experience. Rooms are spacious.

A truly beautiful place in Puglia! We loved the overall atmosphere, the complimentary breakfast as well as how easy it was to check in and park your car. Grazie, Masseria dei Monaci!

They had advertised Wi-fi but unfortunately I was informed it only worked in common spaces. For me, this was a work trip so I needed access to internet. A bit of confusion but nothing serious.
