Masseria Incantalupi

Masseria Incantalupi, in Brindisi, is among the most beautiful rural estates in Puglia for a vacation near Brindisi and Ostuni.

Superb spot, lovely people

Reviewed By Eric120172

In the middle of olive groves, vineyards and citrus trees lies a pearl of a mansion, or actually a typical Puglianese ranch called the Masseria Incantalupi. A beautiful resort to relax by the pool, sleep in one of the spacious apartments or suites and enjoy the family’s own produced wine, olive oil and vegetables. Very tasteful apartments providing you everything you need. The thick stone mansion walls will keep you cool during the region’s hot summers. And the family who owns this property are lovely! Very dedicated to their customers, friendly and very easy going. It was a pleasure to stay here!

Masseria L'Uliveto

Farm located in an olive grove of 30000 square meters. Distance from Otranto and 1km from the sea. Organic agricultural production.

Stunning, Spanish-style masseria, fun for kids too with lots of animals & games!

Reviewed By truckeenic

We had a great time at Masseria L'Uliveto. It is conveniently located within a 20 to 25-minute walk of central Otranto. It is a beautiful, Spanish-style masseria & the rooms are gorgeous with rich woods & beam work, white walls & tasteful splashes of color. You have such privacy with almost your own villa & it's very relaxing to wander around the grounds. There's a garden & many animals-- including horses, goats, ducks, turkeys & chicken. I mentioned that they should highlight this more on the website as it's a huge hit for children. There's also a ping pong table & foosball table, which is additional fun for families! The breakfast is outstanding, you really cannot ask for more. They have cakes & brioche/croissants, cantucci, hard-boiled eggs, cheeses, meats, fruits, vegetables, all kinds of juices. The staff are friendly & helpful. The only issue we encountered is that the wi-fi would not work in our room for my iPhone or our Android phones. The team tried & tried to help us, but we had no luck & this was a little frustrating as I needed access to my phone. Otherwise, it was a very special place in an ideal location; we'd happily return again.

Reviewed By Baiba_13

Excellent place to stay in the middle of October. Excellent location - when you are there it seems like middle of nowhere - so wild, peaceful and charming, where you can enjoy long walks in the middle of the night, and you hear only the nature sounds and if you look to the sky - you can see the moon and the stars so clear, because the weather is perfect - no rain! From the other side - villa is close to sea, where you can have many water activities, close to many beautiful cities - Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli. Very, very close to villa are many charming small cities, you should see them. The sea cost is so amazing - you can have there the white sand beaches and rocky beaches as well. Very, very beautiful nature around. Excellent service - the owner of the villa - Nino - is brilliant - so kind and welcoming, felt like at home there, got so special attitude. Everybody I met these days were so friendly and open persons. Really enjoyed time there. Big thanks to mother of Nino - she showed how to make Italian pasta – very exciting experience. The rooms were clean, towels change when you need. The best part - dinner. You should try the food they prepare there - excellent - very delicious. I was waiting for the dinner all day long - because of atmosphere, excellent food and vine. Many thanks to Nino, his family and friends. I had a wonderful time! Baiba from Latvia

Allegroitalia Ostuni Agritrulli

Agritrulli is a country residence composed by authentic "trulli", typical houses in the Puglia region with a unique building style shaped like a cone. These 'trulli' have been built with traditional methods from the year 700 and consist of stones without cement. The trulli were used by farmers in the past to relax after working on the fields, because the trulli provide natural coolness held inside by the stone exterior. A trullo is a perfect holiday home for relaxing in nature.

Lovely 2 week stay. Will come back

Reviewed By toninarocks

We spent two lovely weeks with the owner and his family, who were extremely friendly, helpful and pleasant. Boy did we manage to relax and unwind. We especially appreciated the peace and quiet of the place, the many shaded areas where to get relief from the exceptional heat (45+ degrees perceived), the beautiful pool with inflatable toys and table football available for the little guests, as well as the playground, table tennis and petanque court. The place is the residence of the elderly owner and thanks to the help of his children it is slowly evolving to become more welcoming and professionally run. I am sure it will get even better in future. A big shout out to the caretaker Larissa, for whom nothing was ever a problem and would always go out of her way to help. We will come back.

Agriturismo Matine

Relaxing

Reviewed By Kristīne Š

I will start by saying that that Laura, the manager, was very nice and helpful. For this trip I didn't want to rent a car. Traveled by train from Bari to Lecce. I was soposed to take a train from Lecce to Tricase, a litte town just nearby the agriturismu. It turned out that day tere were no trains. So Lauras husband came to pick me at Lecce (40EUR ) and took me straight to Agritursimo. I would sugest to have a car if you are going there to travel around, as the agriturismo is 3km away from nearest villages. Laura was kond enough to give me a lift few times but I could sense she was not to hapoy about it. But still she did it. Gracie Laura. The agriturismo is very nice. The pool area is just amazing. Clean and very well kept. The only minuss for me was that the road is so close. As i had a room with window facing the road it could get noisy. Just tray to ask a room other than 105. The dinner is just perfect. Take the full i8 board. For breakfast they serve almost just sweets but. For extra money you can order eggs. So overall I can recomend this place for nice realxing time.

Building site in the the middle of nowhere

Reviewed By SimonLikesTravel

Really poor experience. The property is located in the middle of nowhere and there was nobody there to let us in so we had to call and wait 25 mins for the 'reception' person to turn up. we had a mini flat that could have been nice if properly appointed but 1) he furniture seems to be recycled from some old flat with the most uncomfortable bed ever 2) the shower screen was missing so water went all over in the bathroom 3) the gas was not working so pointless to have a kitchen, couldn't even make coffee in the morning. The place was infested with cats that looked in a very poor condition. I love animals and felt sorry for them - I'd have been very worried for kids to play with those cats.

Peaceful rural retreat

Reviewed By pauld1234567890

We spent four nights at this quiet, charming Masseria. Although it's easy to get to with a car (near the main road from Lecce) and it doesn't take long to get into the nearest town, it feels quite remote. The accommodation was a standalone circular property with a patio, which had been furnished and decorated simply but tastefully. We cooked a little bit and the facilities were fine for basic meals. The owners are helpful and friendly - and they speak decent English. The Masseria produces various different produce, including good olive oil, pasta and vegetables. The only issue we had was with the hot water, but they were quick to come and fix it. Top tip: enjoy sitting outside on the patio, but buy citronella candles and green dragons (spirals).

Beautifully restored villa with a stunning pool & gardens enabling total relaxation. Comfortable bedrooms with good air conditioning. Only slight complaint would be that the water in the shower was not as hot as I would have liked, particularly in the evening.
