Tolle Lage mit schönem Poolbereich, aber fehlender Freundlichkeit beim Personal.
Pros:

Besonders schön war der Poolbereich, hier konnte man gut entspannen. Das Wasser hatte eine sehr angenehme Temperatur. Zudem war das Zimmer sauber und gut ausgestattet.

Cons:

Leider war das Personal, sowohl am Morgen wie auch am Abend, sehr unfreundlich und teilweise gab es Sprachbarrieren auf Grund von fehlendenden Englischkenntnissen.

이탈리아 여행 중 최고의 masseria
Pros:

시설 매우 깨끗합니다.
모든 직원들이 친절하고 수영장, 스파 등이 갖춰져있어서 휴양지로 좋아요. 공항 픽업은 아마 브린디시 공항일거고, 오트란토까지 가는 픽업 서비스도 운영하고 있습니다. 숙소까지 가는건 렌터카를 빌리는걸 추천합니다. 근교까지 잘 놀다왔고 조식, 석식 모두 맛있어요. 저녁은 웬만하면 이곳에서 먹으면 좋아요. 모두가 만족할겁니다

Pros:

Personale accogliente, qualificato e disponibile.
Tutto meraviglioso, dalla pulizia della camera, alla zona piscina con annessi teli .
La ragazza della reception ci ha accolti in modo impeccabile, ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni e ci ha accompagnato in camera.
La masseria meriterebbe 5 stelle !
Non abbiamo avuto modo di provare il ristorante, ci torneremo sicuramente!!!

3 star experience but plenty of potential
Pros:

Some of the staff are outstanding; special shout out to Valentina & Claudia. The restaurant is also an fantastic experience with a lovely ambiance and delicious food. It is in a good location, a short drive from Otranto

Cons:

I was amazed by the consistent 4 or 5 star rating as we had a very average experience. Masseria Bandino has so much potential, but it needs some much needed love, maintenance & upgrading. However, the general upkeep of the Masseria is poor and in much need of care and attention. There were a series of noticeable incremental disappointments that hugely impacted the overall experience. Examples being:
1) A very poor breakfast (with no table service of drinks, they wanted an additional 4 euros for freshly squeezed orange juice & there were flies all over the food)
2) Housekeeping was disappointing - the towels were rough, we had to constantly ask for toilet roll (believe it or not) and they sat in the gardens smoking outside bedrooms (!!)
3) The pool area was run down with an example being mildew on the parasols. There are also no toilet facilities by the pool which becomes rather wearing.
4) The bathrooms also had mildew and the rooms smelt damp.
5) There was also a general lack of attention to detail. An example being that one of our rooms had an ant problem. We appreciate this can happen in a location like this, and the staff responded quickly to the issue, but the ant powder was left on the floor for the remainder of our stay.

Overall, I'm sorry to say, very much a 3 star experience
