Un soggiorno indimenticabile in una masseria da sogno 🌿✨
Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso qualche giorno in questa splendida masseria in Puglia e non potevamo desiderare di meglio! Fin dal nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti con cordialità e professionalità da uno staff attento, disponibile e sempre sorridente.

La location è semplicemente incantevole: immersa nella natura e profumi mediterranei, offre un’atmosfera di pace e relax assoluto. La piscina è un vero gioiello, perfettamente curata e ideale per godersi il sole pugliese in totale tranquillità.

La nostra camera era spaziosa, pulita e arredata con gusto, rispettando lo stile autentico della masseria ma con tutti i comfort moderni. Ogni dettaglio era pensato per farci sentire coccolati.

Un capitolo a parte merita il cibo: una vera esperienza sensoriale! Dalla colazione ricca e genuina, con prodotti freschi e locali, alle cene raffinate che esaltano i sapori della tradizione pugliese. Ogni piatto era una scoperta, preparato con ingredienti di altissima qualità.

Consigliamo questa struttura a chiunque cerchi un soggiorno autentico e rilassante: è il luogo perfetto per rigenerarsi e vivere appieno la magia della Puglia. Non vediamo l’ora di tornare! 🌞🌿

Cons:

Unica pecca, la chiusura dell’illuminazione la sera troppo presto.

Katastrophale Unterkunft
Cons:

Wir waren Mitte Juli 2025 die einzigen und ersten Gäste in der Masseria. Der Pool war bei Ankunft leer, nach Befüllung war der Pool natürlich eiskalt, die Springbrunnen waren alle aus, die Beleuchtung war immer aus, es gab kaum bis gar kein Service Personal, der Spa Bereich war immer geschlossen, an der "Pool Bar" war nie jemand, es lief keine Musik (DJ Pult und Technik war vorhanden), die Betten sind eine einzige Katastrophe (steinhart), der Kühlschrank war teils kaputt, die Dusche viel zu klein, es gab keine Vorhänge an der Zimmertür zur Terrasse (jeder hätte beim sich umziehen rein schauen können) und auch keinen Mückenschutz. Das Frühstück war schlecht (Weißtoast, Croissant, Fertigkuchen, Käse- und Wurstaufschnitt). Nach Butter musste man fragen. An zwei Tagen gab es zu den angegebenen Öffnungszeiten des Restaurants kein Frühstück und die Tür war verschlossen!!

Relax
Pros:

Tranquillità, piscina, parcheggio, arredamento stanza, personale gentile e disponibile, location molto suggestiva.

Cons:

Della Stanza la zona notte un pò piccola, colazione non propriamente all’altezza. Non é per forza una nota negativa ma il mare e le zone interessanti un pò lontane ma, se cerchi il relax é ottimale.

Pleasant
Pros:

Kamer was ok.

Cons:

Locatie is echt ´in the middle of nowhere´
Voorts is het hotel een beetje vergane glorie.

Good
Pros:

Clean rooms, great staff.

Cons:

The pool is open to the public and staff brought family and friends that were too loud.
Lots of bees and wasps in the pool area because of all the flowers. A few children were stung when we were at the pool.

Great cuisine and leisure time in nicely equipped Masseria.
Pros:

For breakfast were served mainly sweet cakes - fantastic. Some options of ham and cheese also. I really enjoy every morning to start the day with your breakfast. We could choose one of 3 dishes also for dinner, which was also in high standard. Overall the cuisine, comfort, services of Grottella were superb.

Cons:

Location of Avetrana is not the best, but still good.

Lovely resort with very friendly staff. Always ready to help.
Pros:

I liked the size of the room. The staff very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant.

Cons:

The breakfast not much variety. Couldn’t drive to front entry so it was to far to take bags from car park. The music from parties was too loud to sleep.
