We've both had a wonderful time, the accommodation is superb. Elizabeth and Doug are wonderful hosts. They are very accommodating and have gone out of their way to make our stay as nice as possible. The local Italians have been super friendly and tolerant of our poor language skills! We look forward to coming back.

What a beautiful place! Totally relaxing. Elizabeth and Doug such good hosts, so many personal touches and thought gone into making it a wonderful stay for any guests. Wouldn't have seen anything like the real Puglia without their kindness and guidance. Thoroughly recommend the Masseria to anyone! Hope to see you again very soon.

Stunning Masseria beautifully restored and enhanced. Fabulous and relaxing surroundings- just the break we all needed. Douglas and Elizabeth are great hosts with lots of local knowledge. Freddie has had a fantastic time in the pool and at the beach but would have also been happy to follow Douglas around asking lots of questions! Thankyou both for a lovely holiday.
