Slice of heaven
This was my fourth or fifth time staying in the Masseria, and each time it gets harder to leave. It is so peaceful and relaxing and everywhere you look is beauty. It has everything you need, and with 5 bedrooms and baths it is great for larger families. Definitely my favorite place in Italy! Can’t wait to be back!!

This is a truly magical experience!
This is my third time renting this Beautiful house, and I love it more each time. The outside as well as this inside is designed and decorated to perfection. I’ve spent the last 18 summers in Italy and this by far is my favorite place to stay. Can’t wait to be back next year.

Beautiful villa, in beautiful surroundings! You won’t be disappointed! We stayed 18-25/08/2018
BIG thank you to Daz - villa caretaker & his lovely wife Donatella! Top bloke! Lovely lady! Was in contact by WhatsApp before & during the holiday. Days out advice was spot on! Thanks mate! 👍 Julian thank you for letting us stay in your impressive villa! What a place! The HomeAway pics don’t do it justice! Was even more impressive in real life! I’m not an architecture or cultural expert but wow! 2500 characters isn’t enough to write a full review of every aspect of the villa but here goes!... We are a family of 9 including 4 30-something adults & 5 kids aged 8-12. The villa is located amongst grape & almond farms so take Daz up on meeting him at the Esso garage! At the villa, Daz went through security - lockable gates to villa grounds a safe & villa alarm - which from personal experience WILL end up with a security guard arriving at the villa! He was very understanding though! Internet signal is 3/4 bars 4G, but villa has satellite wifi anyway, just keep in mind they aren’t plasterboard walls! The villa was spotless like a 5 star hotel! Clean tidy & well presented! There are mosquito nets on every door and window which is good! Was reluctant about getting a villa without air con but every room had a fan in it & it never felt too hot! Upstairs the master bedroom had a 4 poster bed in it en suite bathroom with a good shower! Upstairs family bathroom with shower served 2 bedrooms. One double & the other 2 single beds in it - my eldest lad claimed the comfy camp bed Daz had put in extra for us! There was still plenty of room! Each bedroom had terrace access surrounding 75% of the villa - cracking views! Good area for Gecko spotting & star gazing with a beer from the comfy sofas (whilst getting bitten by mosquitos - take some cream!). Downstairs had 2 double bedrooms both en suite’s. Downstairs toilet had a washing machine in it which we used. There’s a washing line. Kitchen was spotless! Full size dishwasher - buy some tabs. BIG fridge freezer & plenty of cooking space! Took our rubbish to local recycle area when on days out. Dining room seated 10 & is main access point to different parts of villa. Includes wheelchair ramp. We booked Donatella to cook for us! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! FOOD IS SO NICE! And there’s loads! We chose meat option. Local bottles of red & white went down well! Lounge has comfy leather sofas and cushions & DVD archive. The pool was good size graduated by steps to deep end. Table tennis was fun! Enjoyed our stay!
