This is such a wonderful spot. The masseria is set amid vineyards and orchards, with expansive decks and lawns for lounging near the pool. My room, the Sandy suite, was spacious and charmingly appointed with a mix of antique and casual contemporary pieces. Its “kitchen” has a useful refrigerator and 4-burner cooktop, with a handy supply of pots, dishes, cutlery, etc. The bed could not have been more comfortable; the suite was spotless. The location is ideal for a Puglia holiday: Locorotondo is just 5 minutes away by car (or 45 minutes on foot) along characteristic lanes lined by stone fences. Alberebello, Ostuni and Polignano sur Mare are within 45 minutes, and Lecce and Matera are less than 90. But all of this is secondary to the accommodating service provided by the owner, Marta, who is attentive to every detail and need. The masseria's daily breakfast is abundant with homemade yogurt, jams and cakes; fresh local fruit, juice and vegetables; and made-to-order hot drinks and eggs. I stayed at the masseria for eight nights and would have loved to stay longer. It was the perfect vacation!
