Savelletri hotels

Pros: The hotel premises and setting

Cons: The price of restaurants and bars compared to the quality of food

Pros: Everything was incredible. Fabulous hotel!

Cons: The coffee!

Pros: The overall experience was excellent

Cons: Can’t think of anything!

Pros: Staff were great. The food was also better than expected but over priced

Cons: It’s been designed as a traditional village but it has got the feel of film set. Too many of the same pots, baskets etc to make it feel traditional but they were obviously all purchased on one big purchase.

Pros: No words can explain the magic of this place!

Cons: ❤️❤️❤️

Pros: breakfast is brilliant plenty of choice

Pros: The staff can’t do enough for you would def come back again

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The dinner i had in one of the hotel restaurants was the worst in my two weeks trip in Italy this time. Specifically, the food was so bad despite the expensive price. We were served with all kinds of breads, including fried bread balls, as starters and appetiser. Then the stewed sliced beef was so tough that no one could finish the course. We are diet conscious group of people. Could not take so much carbs at night. We finished the dinner with our stomachs still empty. The staffs were very welcoming though and the breakfast was superb.

Pros: Everything. I will be back with my family!!!

Pros: very unique place with a lot of privacy

Cons: Gym could be more professional

Pros: Lovely pool area, good breakfast with hot drinks and eggs made to your liking. Good base for trips to the surrounding area.

Cons: X

Pros: The whole experience was wonderful

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The grounds and buildings are beautiful, and have been restored in a very tasteful manner. The whole place feels very unspoilt and authentic: very in-keeping with the local surroundings. The pool area is something quite special. Often this can be overlooked but we felt it was one of the highlights of the property. Rosangela and Brenda perfectly balance giving you independence whilst also being there for anything you might need. Although there isn't a restaurant on-site, there is a pre-order menu available and Rosangela was more than accommodating for a very special request one evening. We would highly recommend Masseria Brigantino for couples - perfectly equipped with lots of little areas to relax.

Pros: Rosangela and the staff are very welcoming. The place is beautiful, picturesque and calming. Exactly the place you need to go to if you want to forget about everything and just relax. And the breakfast is amazing, served fresh from the oven! Would recommend this Masseria to anyone planning a trip to Puglia.

Pros: From beginning to end, we enjoyed our stay! The entrance through the olive yard is impressive and you can see the sea. The masseria is well kept and looks stunning. An old farm with so many characteristic details, beautifully and neat restored. You can walk arround for a hour and see so many beautiful sights. Rosangela (host) was so kind, just as the lady at breakfast. We got a beautiful room with our own little patio to relax. The pool is very pretty and the breakfast is lavendish en delicious. When we'll visit Puglia in the future, we'll definitely come back.

Cons: Nothing, everything was great!

Pros: I can say with confidence that this was one of the most pleasant places to relax. Friendly staff, terrific area, very comfortable and clean room. Delicious and rich breakfast with local products. Place - where you want to return again and again. Many thanks to all the staff for the high level of service and hospitality.

Pros: Pool and spa area we're a wonderful surprise. So tranquil and beautiful! Great accommodating hosts from the moment we arrived. A stunning farm for our last three nights in Italy - a wonderful find! We will be returning.

Cons: Squeaky bed

Pros: Rustic and tranquil. Small and quiet. Beautiful location with excellent rooms

Cons: Nothing

Pros: incredible place, wonderful breakfast and lovely pool - cant recommend enough

Cons: nothing it was all great

Pros: The property is beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. Roseangela and her staff go out of their way to make sure guests are enjoying their stay. Brenda was an absolute delight! always with great recommendations for dinner, making reservations for us and sharing info about the neighbouring towns and culture. The breakfast was very good, the property is immaculate, the pool is beautiful and spa services are available. It is very close to the beach on a bike and many neighbouring towns by car. A real gem, we would definitely stay again.

Cons: Loved everything.

Pros: Location, room

Cons: Breakfast very poor according to the Italian style, no official invoice after the payment

Pros: The warm and kind welcome continued during our stay. Even though the owner doesn't speak English, she did everything she can to serve breakfast as we like eat. They keep a very clean and specious apartments, in a very homely style. Very recommended both for business and pleasure.

Pros: Beautiful location. Very friendly hosts. Extremely clean and comfortable.

Pros: Very clean, well decorated and welcoming staff

Cons: A biger fridge for guests

Pros: Beautiful gardens, great breakfast, great service

Cons: No gym or fitness center

Pros: Beautiful hotel and building. Great service. Nice location.

Cons: Some things were overpriced. Pool water was cold even though it is meant to be heated.

Pros: It's a long time since I stayed here but it was great to return and see everything still wonderful. Excellent hotel with incredibly friendly helpful happy staff, beautiful location and the food is super good. Good facilities for children which kept my 6 year old very happy too. Love it.

Pros: Amazing location, amazing service Great massages and treatments @ SPA

Cons: It is s dream place

Pros: Breakfast was fab, couldn’t fault it. Very fresh, lots of choice, will cook eggs/bacon/mushrooms on request.

Cons: It was very pretentious. The service was mixed - some people were lovely, other’s were very patronising and were very accommodating to some guests, not so much to others. They seemed very false (albeit the odd person who were genuine). If you ate/drank every day/evening in their restaurant/bar then it seemed they were more accommodating, but if you only got the odd drink like us then they didn’t want to know. The drinks and food was extortionate compared to anywhere else we’d been in the whole of Puglia - yet the service and quality didn’t warrant the prices. I had a Bellini one day that was made with concentrated peach juice, and the tiniest dash of prosecco - it cost 15 euros. In contrast, I had a Bellini in a little cocktail bar a mile down the road in Savalletri - it was made with fresh purée that the waiter made there and then (toasted pineapple, cinnamon and coconut), and plenty of prosecco... this cost 7 euros!!! One day we asked if The shuttle could take us to Savalletri for the evening and pick us up so we could have a drink - bearing in mind it’s 1.5 miles away... yet they tried to charge us 50 euros!!! I imagine because we chose not to pay their outrageous prices for dinner!! The food in Savalletri was incredible, so fresh and well made - and it was less than half the price!! The hotel charges a fortune for average food. One lunch we ate at the beach club, and my pizza was pretty much a pizza base with dried lettuce and a few bits of pancetta on top!! It was supposed to have avocado but this was missed off!! Another day we tried the food at the pool - and for 18 euros we had the tiniest bowl of pasta with a few tomatoes and some cheese on top!! Something I could’ve easily made myself!! Overall we just felt so let down - we’d built out whole trip around the stay here, yet it was by far the worst service/experience we’d had.

Pros: Outstanding place, so elegant. Service is at its best everywhere: reception, restaurant (special mention for the tall lady!) bar, pool.. This makes a huge difference with many other places of the « same » luxury category. Our 2 days were a complete dream !

Pros: The pool was fantastic.

Cons: Pretentious

Pros: Wonderful service, room, gardens and restaurant. Loved it.

Cons: Silly they charge for omelets in a hotel this expensive, and sillier still that scrambled eggs with the same ingredients are included in the breakfast and free of charge.

Pros: Everything. It’s absolutely epic.

Pros: Fantastic Location Great Outside landscape & Main buildings

Cons: Lost the Apulia atmosphere. Where are we ? Lack of traditional furniture & settings. All new materials have been used in restructuration. Poor Decoration on the overhaul inside the property Uncomfortable & unsuitable bathroom installations. Small for a Junior Suite situation. Lack of charm inside.

Pros: Unpretentious luxury at its best. Striking interiors, delicious farm to table dinners, quiet surroundings of olive groves and golf course, friendly and helpful staff, proximity to beautiful Ostuni and Alberobello and access to nearby Cala Masciola beach club made for a memorable stay. Would love to stay here again in future

Pros: Really charming traditional truli hotel. Staff was nice. Dinner was really tasty. Breakfast was great with many options.

Cons: The room was too hot even with the AC on.

Pros: We loved that fact that the masseria grows its own & abundance of vegetables and served us for dinner. Dinner was served in a buffet style but everything was very elegant and professional servers were tending our table. Our room was very charming, romantic and cozy. The bathroom was large and luxurious with jacuzzi bathtub and two sinks. We enjoyed the walk along the golf course and the vegetable garden as well as a walk to the seaside. It was the last night of our 10-day vacation in Puglia, and Masseria Cimino really made a special memory for us.

Cons: There is nothing that we didn't like. If I must say something, I would say that there was not a lot of windows in this old farm house.

Pros: Very relaxed and intimate Masseria, with lovely original rustic feel throughout. The property is very well located with close proximity to the beach and further helped by having a small pool (not heated) which is a nice addition for a small Masseria. The property borders the San Domenico golf course and offers combined room & golf packages. The room was compact yet functional with lovely rustic charm with all key amenities included. The service is hands off yet there is always staff on hand for any requests and the staff we interacted with were all very approachable and responsive. Our stay included a four course meal in the evening comprised of delightful local puglian ingredients and home cooked food, as if you were dining at someone’s home! This property is a great lower key and relaxed option to neighbouring Borgo Egnezia (short drive down the road).

Pros: The friendly welcome of the hostes. The excepional kitchen. The wonderful location in the middle of nature.

Pros: On the positive side the breakfast and food, although not extensive, was excellent. The cakes were delicious and the evening meal was very good. The staff who served dinner and breakfast were extremely friendly and attentive. Cleanliness was also very high as the room was spotless. There are free bikes and a bar which serves a good selection of gin. You can also use the sister property Borgo Egnazia, which was very useful, due to the overcrowding and small pool at the Masseria. Food and spa services can be charged back to your room and you can cycle from the Masseria in less than 10 minutes. We used the Borgo Egnazia's large pool for a day and had lunch at one of their restaurants.

Cons: This is not a 5* hotel as the facilities are rundown and very basic. The rooms are very small, dark and poorly furnished. We booked a suite which was really just two interconnecting rooms, with two very small bathrooms, two mini bars and two separate entrances and key numbers. The sitting room area had a single bed for the seat, and this was not very comfy. The hotel sells itself on being rustic and romantic. However, we have stayed in other hotels and Masseria's which are described as rustic, but the standard of the rooms and quality of the furniture was 5*, here it was tired and tatty.Instead of glasses in the room we had polystyrene cups, my wardrobe was a canvas organiser and the outside patio furniture was very uncomfortable. It is described as a boutique hotel but when we stayed there were over 35 people staying, with a small pool and only 10 sun loungers by the pool. There is a small gym but two out of 4 of the pieces of equipment were broken. Unfortunately the prices charged are 5* prices and the Masseria, lovely though the staff are, is not 5*.

Pros: The old stone whitewashed buildings full of nooks and crannies

Cons: Maybe a couple more electric sockets in the room would be helpful

Pros: Beautifully decorated rooms. Exactly what we look for. Farmlike and Meditteranean chick. Simple yet elegant.

Cons: There was a noisy friends/family party with children. Since it was rainy weather we had to stay inside which is quite small, and with lots of people who we think were not staying in the hotel, we felt somewhat neglected. For such a beautifully made and presented masseria I guess we expected no outside interference and a more peaceful atmosphere..

Pros: The people were very friendly . It was very authentic.

Cons: The food was not that good.

Pros: The bed, clean ironed bed sheets everything

Pros: Beautiful Masseria with nice old details - beautiful gardens with lovely olive trees and a bird pond. Great pool and lovely place to have breakfast outside.

Pros: We enjoyed our stay, the staff is lovely. The hotel is really nice.

Cons: Maybe the matress was a bit hard for me

Pros: Beautifull quite romantic place with very good staff.Delicious cakes at breakfast table, friendly atmosphere.We can definitelly recomande this lovely place.

Pros: Bellissima masseria! This is a beautiful structure among olive trees in an excellent location to explore the local sites/towns/ beaches. The Masseria itself is really well kept and has its own character. We had lunch here one day and it was really good too. Plenty of open space, good size pool, if you like a lazy afternoon. It is located really close to the Fasano Zoo which is amazing for children (and not only!) The breakfast is absolutely amazing, freshly baked cakes, a selection of drinks and also you can make bruschetta with local friselle, tomatoes and olive oil. Also savoury breakfast is available. Coffees made directly from an Italian bar/ coffee machine. It is clean and well looked after. We really enjoyed the stay and were able to go and visit nearby towns as well as reach the beach. Differently from other Masseria, Don Sante is easy to find even in the evening. We made sure to buy a large tank of their extra virgin olive oil, nicely nested in our lugguage for our happy return.

Cons: This is really not a complaint, just suggestions for improvement: the hams and cheeses coming with breakfast could be better, I did not think they represented well the local produce. However as mentioned, the breakfast offers plenty of choice and there are other yummy things to pick from. On a different topic, in the evening the Masseria was kind of 'switched off'. Whilst this is partially because we visited at the end of August, I also think that someone being available on the location during the night would feel more reassuring and also having some lights on in the little square and people around would have felt a bit more lively. Finally, there is a slide for children and adding some more fun stuff in that area would definitely make it more fun for children.

Pros: Service was good , breakfast was Italian (so mainly sweet) with not much selection (but all Masserias offer pretty much the same). It was very clean in the room.

Cons: Beds were not comfortable, pillows were hard, the worst was the shower as it the size of 40x40 (I am not joking) and a curtain around it , so there’s no way you can move really when taking a shower and the curtain sticks to your body. Furthermore, there’s a small boiler of 30L for hot water , which means that already at the second shower there are hardly any warm water. Can’t imagine what It is like when staying as a family (we were just two people) So showering experience was really bad.

Pros: Breakfast was typical Italian style cold meats,cheese,veg, croissants, home made cakes etc . Dinner was only a fixed menu.which was excellent anti pasti which was about 12 different plates of excellent local produce followed by two pasta dishes and a dessert all cooked really well. The meal price was very good value for money and their wine was superb. The room price was also good value. Staff were very sociable, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Our room (11) was an original part of the building and was really very nice. Nothing negative about this property and the whole family worked very hard to ensure our stay was comfortable and relaxed.

Cons: The pool could do with some sun shades as you are not allowed to move the loungers away from the pool onto the grass but the pool itself was really clean and a good size. This is not a complaint just an observation.

Pros: Lovely place in the midst of an olive grove with several low buildings, maintaining the architecture of the area. Delicious food and kind service.

Cons: It was difficult to communicate in English as they only spoke Italian, but they were willing to help in any way they could.

Pros: Amazing food here at a really good price. The staff were very nice and accomodating.

Cons: It's a 2- star hotel so nothing to really complain about.

Pros: Hosts great, food in the evening is wonderful, well priced and quiet relaxing area

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The territory is beautiful, the masseria is very quiet with the birds singing outside. We had a nice breakfasts and local style lunches Masseria is not in the city, but very close to it and has a free transfer from Fasano station Thank you for everything!

Cons: There was a broken net in our room, nobody fixed it, so e were bitten by mosquitoes and flies:( we asked to repair it for 5 times. But I understand there was no people to fix, during our stay

Pros: The breakfast was delicious, including fresh figs picked from trees on the property. The room was more like a mini apartment as it had spacious living area and a kitchenette, something we only realised upon arrival. The owner was helpful and answered all our questions on the area. The landscape is pretty, with gorgeous ancient olive trees surrounding the property. The beauty of the trees and land fully compensated the rather ugly food processing factory that you drive by when exiting the main road. This bnb served our purpose of having a calm stop before embarking on a ferry from brindisi the following morning, but can imagine it would also work well as a base for a holiday in puglia.

Pros: The service was excellent and the pool area was divine.

Cons: There wasn't always staff around so if I needed an iron and board or would like a cocktail near the pool, it wasn't always possible.

Pros: It’s a wonderful place , close to restaurants and amazing beaches. The staff was very helpful and kind . The rooms clean , comfortable and the breakfast was delicious ! Loved everything about San Velletri!

Pros: Friendly, welcoming and charming service. Spacious rooms. Traditional furnishings not quite our style, but pool area is lovely and the hospitality of the hosts and staff is wonderful. Felt very welcome.

Pros: Great service, the breakfast arrangement was amazing. The staff provided excellent service throughout the stay.

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: This place is super welcoming and friendly. It’s a beautiful place and had everything we needed. If it didn’t, all we had to do was ask and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were super clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. They have a tie in with a beach club called Sabbiodoro, which was incredible. A little pricey at 70€ but was worth it for a bit of luxury and super family friendly and only 10 mins drive from the guest house. An added bonus was all the beach toys they leant us for our stay. It’s such a great location to visit Fasano, Ostuni etc and lots of nice restaurants in Sevelletri. The road is busy and I wouldn’t walk, so you do have to drive, but only 1 min and you can’t hear the road at all from the apartment. Lovely welcoming stay, thank you.

Pros: Made the room available at 13.30 instead of normal check in time at 15.00.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit poor and not included in room rate.

Pros: Its fairly new so everything was in top condition beautiful design from the paint on the walls to the amazing garden work they have managed to make it look like the building has grow up from the ground rather than being built it’s all very natural looking but above all the staff make this place its very relaxed and friendly

Cons: This part of Italy is not the prettiest

Pros: The rooms and the Masseria are very nice.

Cons: I had never been offered with a kids menu at the restaurant. This is necessary for dinner. The plates are very expensive for kids. The beach is nice but the facilities are old.

Pros: The breakfast was incredible: probably the best I've had (big chunks of honeycomb!). Our room was stunning with it's own private terrace. The pool was beautiful. And the level of service was incredible. Everything has been thought of here and the vibe is relaxed luxury. Treat yourself.

Pros: Wonderful hotel with great location and fantastic service. Breakfast was amazing and the swimming pool absolutely fabulous !! Staff very friendly, helpful and extremely professional.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent and attentive staff. Well appointed and comfortable rooms. Sumptuous breakfast.

Pros: Great staff, great property

Pros: The pool was beautiful - wish we'd had more time to spend there. Staff all very polite and the entire complex was very picturesque - didn't have time to check out the private beach club which was a shame.

Cons: Wedding took place at the venue on our final night and unfortunately this meant that the pool was out of action in the morning when we wanted Prices of taxis to local town is quite steep considering they are operated by the hotel itself. Better options in terms of value for money probably available.

Pros: Nice architecture, comfortable rooms, helpful staff

Cons: A bit in the middle of nowhere

Pros: Fantastic staff and beautiful design . Food absolutely excellent and super slick service . Great team !

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The property is unusual, it has oodles of character and history and the grounds are spectacular as are the views. It is rural and very very authentic. The staff are wonderful and most helpful

Cons: Bed was hard but this I gotten used to. More drinking water options to purchase would be ideal. In the gym (an open ended outside room which i loved!) getting some 5kg Olympic weights would help as currently only 10kg making the bar 40kg when loaded with one plate each side - too heavy for a number of people

Pros: History, style, staff. Borgo San Marco takes you completely away from the crowded touristic areas of Puglia. The area by the pool and the surrounding "meditation" areas are beautiful. Olive trees everywhere to add to it's imense charm. I am definitely returning.

Cons: Unfortunately the new bedrooms near olive trees where my brother stayed smelled a bit like mold, the sink did not drain well and the shower did not adjust temperature properly (warm water could only activate after sink fosset was used...?). Breakfast could have a few more local breads or pastries. Hopefully these are easy fixes to such a wonderful place. My room inside the masseria building on the other hand was fantastic with everything perfect.

Pros: loved everything about this place. so clean, such great food, so sweet staff - highly recommended!

Pros: The location was beautiful, staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was amazing.

Cons: The friendly staff, beautiful pool, authentic rooms and traditional Apulia meals were amazing taste sensations.

Pros: Beautiful traditional Italian building in a tranquil setting

Cons: The hotel is very expensive for food and only provides a set menu which at 40 Euros a head is a lot (35 if you have one less course) for dinner before you add in drinks. Lunch is equally pricey at 25 Euros a head. The food is good but I would have preferred to be able to choose something light on some days.

Pros: Beautiful lagoon-style pool. Plenty of space around it to chill out, surrounded by miles of olive groves. The borgo has been beautifully decorated in a relaxed country-chic style. Breakfast (especially outside in a courtyard) is great. Friendly reception.

Cons: It is an old building. My room was in the main building, and it could sometimes be a bit noisy (though not at night). Depending on how the wind blows, one can hear traffic from the highway (the property is not far from the exit). I had dinner one evening which was nice but really nothing special - there is much better to be had in the region.

Pros: Beautiful masseria, great location for exploring the valley, friendly staff, good price.

Cons: The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, the dinner was not as good as we would have expected from a masseria for the price.

Pros: This places is dreamy. Surrounded, by orchards and olive trees, a wonderful authentic farm stay. The property is stunning, inside and out. The rooms are cool and spacious and tastefully decorated. The entire place boats with incredible puglian chic simplicity, less is so much more. This is reflected in the delicious simple tasting dishes to the style. We had lunch and dinner here and I love how you pay a set price and get numerous courses which surprise you as they come out. The pool is fab it is surrounded by rock and feels super natural as if you are walking into the sea. The grounds a superb for a lovely walk. The staff gave excellent recommendations on where to eat outside of the masseria and were attentive and lovely throughout.I could live here.

Cons: Loved everything

Pros: The location is good and the setting in the middle of farmland offers great views. The room was well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was great and service staff were friendly and professional.

Cons: In room lighting was dark and the spacious room lacked comfortable sitting apart from 2 wooden dining chairs. Beware of extra costs especially highly excessive laundry charges.

Pros: Authentic and well presented Masseria, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees. The food offering is absolutely superb- traditional Puglia cuisine made with the best local produce. Room was very comfortable and clean. The friendly staff was at our disposal for any need.

Cons: Only negative is the distance from the sea- although close (10 min by car), it is not easily reachable by bike

Pros: Beautiful view from the terrace. Nice and helpful host. Everything as described on booking.com.

Cons: I would add e.g. fruits for breakfast

Pros: Staff, view from balcony

Cons: Incorect adress and GPS!!!!!!!

Pros: Very clean and comfortable, the owner was very kind.

Pros: The view is amazing.

Cons: The location is a bit isolated and it was not easy to find the first time. The breakfast was very limited.fasano is not very touristic and restaurants limited and open late. This was not ideal when travelling with small children.

Pros: Lovely entrance and nice couches around the hotel. Massive pool.

Cons: AC seemed to just splutter hot air around the room, property needs some investment, not 5 star. Pool had a lot of green scum and slime in it, it’s a saline pool-does that cause it? Pool drains were dirty. Our bathroom flooded water everywhere, it was coming out into the bedroom at one stage. Nothing happening there in evenings, main reception staff had to cover getting coffees also. We had a car, you need one.

Pros: Del Cardinale is simply one of those stand out vacation properties that really takes your breath away. Whilst at the hotel, I was reminded of one of those price comparison site adverts where they simply showed guests happy expressions when the opened the door to their holiday hotel … you never saw the hotel or the room … just the intense happiness in the couple or families faces. Del Cardinale does this …and then you get even more satisfaction when you think this amazing super 5 star property (set in an enormous plot with one of the best pools I have ever used at a hotel) costs less than a small room in London. The value is outstanding, the food is great, the staff (although English is a little hit and miss) attentive and want to make your stay a real pleasure. The hotel never feels crowded, since there are so many areas to relax and enjoy the sun, the pool and beautiful surroundings (from the furniture to the beautiful trees and grounds. The staff at reception and the management should be highlighted for their outstanding service … nothing is too much for them. You really do feel instantly relaxed and in a proper holiday mode. An added bonus is that the hotel sits within Puglia … which is Italy’s ascendant region, a place where travellers bored or worn down by the crowds of Campania and Tuscany escape for something a bit less frenetic and real. With the longest coastline of any region in mainland Italy, Puglia is larger than many people realise. It truly is god’s country. Puglia’s cucina povera is about as earthy as Italian cuisine gets without eating it straight out of the soil. h the longest coastline of any region in mainland Italy, Puglia is larger than many people realise. In the north, the spur of land sticking out into the Adriatic is occupied by the balmy microclimates of the Gargano peninsula, a kind of miniature Amalfi with fewer poseurs Federico Fellini would certainly recognise "the sweet life" or "the good life” if he stayed at the Del Cardinalle. As a postscript. I went to Puglia and Del Cardinalle for a wedding. Never having been to the area before. I am already planning my next trip to both. Now that is the best recommendation one can really give!

Pros: Beautiful property, spacious rooms, very clean, calm place, great location - Fasano

Cons: We had the feeling the hotel (Masseria) was not under good and careful management: - not a decent menu for the pool ( only bruschetas ) . Not even a pasta option for the children( Orichiette is the typical pasta of the region!!!) . - staff was not the most kind. We never felt really welcomed. They wouldn’t give any suggestions nor recommendations. My daughter make a question about the poney, and the answer was “cold”. - the property is truly beautiful but one feels it could offer more to the guests. 1-there are hundreds of olive trees - they could have olive oli tastings... 2-there are some horses, but no one tells you if a child could feed them or ride them... 3-no one explains why there is a part of the property that is closed and the don’t have lunch or dinner. ...

Pros: We love this place

Cons: At the.moment there's no restaurant. The hot water in the evening needs to be sorted

Pros: Excellent Customer Service, all the staff chatty and helpful. Hotel very relaxing and peaceful, beautiful property in the olive groves! Would recommend for families, couples and special occasions. Perfect venue for a wedding! :-)

Pros: Masseria Relais del Cardinale is definitely an extraordinary hotel to stay. It is made for big events like weddings or company meetings. Situated in the countryside it shows off pure luxury in space and local style. You can enjoy a very quiet and relaxing time at the pool which is nearly 50 x 15m. We have had a room with a terrace so we could sunbathing in privacy. Breakfast is excellent and has a lot of different cakes, fruits, ham & eggs.

Cons: Disappointing is that the very little bar for such a hotel is not open in the evening so you cannot spend more time on that ground with a couple of drinks or meet some friends. No service! Also there is not even one restaurant inside to get some food during the day. Could be definitely improved. The hotel manager told me in an slightly aggressive ton that he don't care that I don't believe that this hotel has 5 stars at all. When I checked-out after one week stay not even a luggage boy helped my wife to carry the things into the car waiting in the front lobby. Definitely not a five star hotel attitude or behaviour. Actually I think that the staff is very reduced during normal season and for big events they will do better.

Pros: Stunning olive oil plantation/factory with the largest pool I’ve seen. Beautiful building and decor

Pros: The settling. I

Cons: A sound in the room.

Pros: The location was great and the pool was lovely. Our room was very spacious and a great bathroom

Cons: Considering we booked the deluxe suite it was very disappointing that we had no furniture on our balcony and it took them 2 phone calls to fix a light bulb. It felt like I was telling them what they needed to go to make it great, rather than me delighting me.

Pros: The very helpful staff at the front desk. We were recommeded an oil tasting tour which waa outstanding.

Cons: Nothing. Perhaps better map of locatiob.

Pros: The setting, could be magnificent

Cons: No help to bring suitceses upstairs, very weak to no wifi in rooms, old bathrooms, no restaurant, limited opening of swimmingpool, no towels provided , dusty balcony with old deckchairs.. serious lack of qualified staff and maintenance in this potentially beautiful place

Pros: The staff were initially welcoming, collecting bags etc and the place is attractive with a very nice pool. The "suite" was comfortable but really no more than a large double with 2 armchairs. Nice and clean bathroom.

Cons: Almost everything. Staff may be nice (as others say) but they are so hard to find it's difficult to know - you have to search for them if you need anything. No-one mans the bar or clears towels and glasses etc round the pool. We had a one course lunch which was very uninspiring. The restaurant area is depressing with dreary background music. The suite was OK, but with an awful outdoor area that you would not spend 2 minutes in. Non-residents allowed to use the pool, adding to the noise and distractions - very un-relaxing by the pool (and with umbrellas that are too small). Very quiet with little customer experience. Staff not apologetic when things go wrong, and finally you have to take your bags back to the car.

Pros: We appreciated being able to check in earlier than most hotels . Beautiful country setting.

Cons: I think charging 6 euros extra for eggs or 6 euros extra for a glass of fresh orange juice at breakfast is not appropriate for the high cost of the rooms which is located way out in the countryside.

Pros: The best team! The best masseria in Fasano!

Pros: The service was out of this world. We could not have been treated better.

Cons: This will sound picky: the keys were bulky.

Pros: Amazing pool and empty a lot of the time! Comfortable room (junior suite) with a private little garden. Helpful, friendly, polite staff who helped us with restaurant bookings and recommendations. Good location for Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino, Ostuni, Monopoly, Polignano a Mare...only an hour from Bari airport. Argo the friendliest and happiest dog in Italy.

Cons: Our room (6) was not that far from a road so we did get some road noise but not that disturbing. Air con could be cooler at night but not much to be done in 34° heat! Some better shutters over the door, the curtain lets in a lot of light in the morning.

Pros: The pool area is stunningly beautiful

Pros: How clean all the staff kept the hotel & how helpful everybody was

Cons: Breakfast, more choice of cereals.

Pros: Beautiful location on the sea. Very good restaurant. Nice and helpful staff. Best thing is swimming in the sea in the morning.

Pros: Very chilled, great pool and view and lovely restaurants within walking distance

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Not at all fancy but very adequate facilities and lovely pool and location by the sea. Breakfast is nice

Cons: Sallvetri is quiet and not much to it. Teenagers would prefer more activity. Lunch and dinner at hotel not very exciting and pricey for what it is. A lot of restaurants in walking distance . Mixed experience.

Pros: The room was small but very clean. The view was Beautiful! The pool was wonderful! The dinning room was lovely, the food delicious.

Pros: Location Pool

Cons: Room a little small Staff could be great or a little lacking in sympathy

Pros: Located right on a sea, closer than that is impossible. Beautiful pool with service at your lounge chair, great food and wine and staff that goes out of the way to make your stay perfect. Extremely clean rooms with soft towels. Ask for sea view room and you won’t be disappointed.

Pros: Lovely hotel Beautiful swimming pool. Breakfast lovely and informal. Excellent restaurant and service.

Cons: Lack of sandy beach. Could use ladder for sea but not if sea choppy.

Pros: Very nice staff, very clean, no fussy decor which was great. Bedroom really comfortable. The sea water pool was fantastic. The town of Savaletri was a real find, great choices of restaurants and great atmosphere.

Cons: We had interconnecting double rooms for 2 adults and 2 children. There was no option for a family room. Although the interconnecting rooms were great, we paid double for the rooms - ie paid for 2 rooms instead of one larger family room, which made the stay more expensive.

Pros: The location and surroundings are fabulous.

Cons: The rooms are not particularly spacious and the air con could be a little more effective. The place is spotlessly clean and I would totally recommend. What the rooms lack the rest of the facilities make up for. One of our favourite places in Puglia.

Pros: We stayed at B&B Lamascopone for five nights. Friends already holidaying in the area. Jovanna very friendly and could not do enough for us. Breakfasts were excellent. Pool area superb. The only changes would be to hire a car next time. and manage the driving. Otherwise we were more than happy with our short stay. Going home to learn Italian

Cons: The bed was a little bit hard for my Partner. A car is a definite requirement if you want to get about.

Pros: Great location. Peaceful yet close to all key locations. Very clean . Great value for money

Pros: Giovana the responsible is super nice and the place is very beautiful. Towels are changed every day and rooms are cleaned.

Cons: There was some construction works in the hotel waking us up every morning. The hotel could have warn us before our arrival or at least propose a reduction but didn’t. For the breakfast you only have dry biscuits with jam (no croissant/no juice/no bread). Overall decent but over priced.

Pros: Giovanna is warm and friendly despite not speaking any English, French or Spanish.

Pros: Very Clean rooms.

Cons: Very small and hard beds. Very plain breakfast

Pros: Staff helpful to request taxis etc We ate in restaurant one evening and this was surprisingly nice compared to breakfast and even provided complimentary dessert

Cons: Pool was very crowded with loud music You need a car if you stay here, otherwise it is a 2km walk to Fasano and coming back at night this is an unlit toad in sections. Luckily I had a torch Also to get around we needed up taking taxis as there are really no buses running at times that are viable to get to places such as Alberobello etc. we ended up taking a driver each day. Breakfast was lots of cakes

Pros: It is ok spot if you have car, and you can visit different places around.

Cons: Breakfast could be much better and also internet connection could be improved.

Pros: Not much. Simple standard.

Cons: Small rooms, uninspiring design and features, pool with blaring loud music. Breakfast very limited options and nothing fresh. No eco-friendliness (bathroom, plastic everywhere).

Pros: The food was fantastic. We ate dinner and breakfast there and greatly enjoyed both. The front desk attendent was beyond kind went above and beyond for us. The towels were wonderful. Food and location were the saving graces.

Cons: The beds were uncomfortable, the pillows were tiny and hard, the tiny tiny room size, the lack of ability to buy some small personal items at the front desk. I.E. femanine products, tooth brushes and headache meds. Pool hours were too short. Pool closes at 6! That is almost pointless for one nighters or after a long day exploring.

Pros: The croissants were not too good like I expected in Italy. The bed was OK.

Cons: The place for the children it was too small and in front of the entry of the hotel not to safe for the children because the people who comes with cars stop just a few metres from there. And the games were too poor and just two

Pros: Comfortable, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good breakfast in the restorant. Location of the hotel is very close to the Zoosafari so it is convenient if Zoosafari is your target. We get a discount on Zoosafari tickets since we stay in SantElia.

Cons: We were not able to walk from SantElia to the center of Fasano by feet since the was no sidewalk.

Pros: Wonderful location. Pool excellent. Great staff.

Pros: location and staff..beautiful view. Practical with respect to the zoo safari.

Cons: Quite old and can stink....

Pros: Breakfast room service and bar excellent

Cons: Nothinh

Pros: Excellent bedrooms, excellent food,(great chef Enrico)free hotel transport to and from Fasano train station with quick links to Lecce and Bari

Cons: it’s was a good experience and nothing was a problem for the staff if you needed guidance.

Pros: Amazing property. Modern and very functional, Eden garden and 10 minutes by car from seaside. Very nicely situated in the Olive Trees path. We had dinner in the Masseria, great tuna steak and delicious ravioli with pescatrice.

Pros: Beautiful location with lovely spacious rooms which were really clean and felt more like your own chalet with lovely views of the landscape and sea in the distance. The staff are so kind and helpful , Mary in reception was so helpful with anything you needed to know locally ,good with speaking English and also listening to me trying to speak Italian ! All staff were lovely from the drivers , chambermaids and chef. Even though its a bit far out from the station , they arrange to drop you off or pick you up. I would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again. Grazie !!

Cons: A minor thing - just be aware that the pool isn't open all year round so check opening dates. It is beautiful & once it was open we really enjoyed it & you also get pool towels

Pros: Everything about the Resort was very good.The staff were friendly and polite and the room had a large comfortable bed.Nice and quite resort if that is what you like.

Pros: I liked the layout of the property and the polite staff on arrival. I was impressed with the dinner at the hotel and the food was actually very good. The room was clean and a basic mini bar stocked.

Cons: The breakfast/dinner room was not very welcoming, and could have been so much better. Ambient lighting goes so far. The hotel also booked me a taxi which I had to use as there was no other car hire and this cost 90 euros each way to Bari airport, so be prepared for this. The hotel room itself was very basic, but clean at least.

Pros: The gardens are really beautiful and very well maintained . The swimming pool also is very nice .

Cons: In our reservation was clear that we were a couple with a teenager and when we arrived at the hotel already very late in the evening the extra bed was not prepared . The breakfast is ok but could be better for the price we pay, very few options of breads and at 10am they really remove everything and the staff was not very friendly. It is a pity they do not offer a breakfast outside in a terrace. I would be more pleasant. The shower at the room could be better.

Pros: the grounds. room was good. pool is nice.

Cons: Sun beds. Pool bar. and price.

Pros: Amazing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel is a bit basic don’t let the picture of the pool fool you .

Cons: Restaurant was closed for 2 days when we arrived which was a bit disappointing.

Pros: Lovely rooms. Lovely pool, lovely staff Lovely stay

Cons: lack of facilities--no tea and coffee making facilities Had to have a car.

Pros: We were here to compete in the 9th World Open Inline Championships in Fasano,which we won!We arrived late due to the plane being delayed but were met and were able to follow the owners to the villa,which we were very grateful for.We enjoyed the peace and quiet,the breakfasts,the friendliness of the staff,and how close it was to the town.

Cons: Maybe more directions ie which exit to take from the motorway as the satnav did not have a clue.

Pros: The location is beautiful, you can feel connected to the nature with all the olive trees around and with the view to the hills from tbe swimming pool. The room was clean and comfortable with nice colonial style. Safe and free parking on location. The breakfast in the garden terrace had a great atmosphere and the breakfast lady was very nice to us.

Cons: The only thing that i could mention was the quality of the tap water. It was not indicated that it was not drinking water, but i dont think it would have been ok to drink it, as it had a very bad smell and taste.
