Foremost the owner Stefano has remarkable taste and is an incredible organizer, perfectionist and paid tireless hours of attention to every little detail as we reserved the entire masseria’s 16 rooms for 5 days for our dream wedding!! This beautiful charming modern property sits in an exclusive private Olive and Wine estate yet so close to the beaches and all the best towns and sights of Salento. Stefano’s front desk was staffed by Irina perhaps one of the most charming warm hospitable, personable and thoughtful front desk managers we have encountered in all our travels! Every staff member including Letizia, the incredible chef who cooked better than many Michelin restaurants we have eaten at and all the rest of the helpful wait staff who prepared beautiful coffee and the most delicious spritz and cocktails we enjoyed all the over the property as well as by the beautiful new pool. We saw every single room at this property. While each room is slightly unique they are all charming, clean, tastefully modern with beautiful beds and cool local chic finishes. The bathrooms are from out of this world: spacious, modern and the waterfall showers are to die for! I don’t know how some of the other reviewer’s could find anything to complain about the breakfast but between the fresh pastries, croissants, homemade cakes, incredible coffee and fresh juices, all the fresh local fruit, our discerning guests never wanted to leave!! If you’re looking for an exclusive unique and truly luxurious experience in Salento you would be hard-pressed to find any option better than this one! Yes it does take a GPS to find the property since it is located on a smaller road between Galatone and Secli…But in its remoteness lies some of it’s charm!! Yes it does have a limited staff and so may not feel like your typical five-star resort… but the staff that they do have here more than make up for it with their friendliness and genuine desire to make sure every guest has a truly memorable stay!! Another suggestion to the property we made was to add a full length mirror to some of the rooms missing one. Our family and closest friends hated leaving this place and already forced us to host another reunion here which we hope to someday soon!
