Great location, great staff. Food at the restaurant was excellent! Wonderful view from our bungalow and from the pool!

A stunning little spot off the main drag.

The steps up to our room were step and it would be difficult for a tall person but that is a minor point and didn’t bother me.

Good breakfast and fantastic evening meal. Staff helpful and friendly. Pool area lovely with good sun beds.

There was no one to assist with the luggage on arrival/departure (we were international guests with more than a weekend bag). There was no complementary water or coffee/tea facilities in the room.

The restaurant was wonderful and made it easier given the location. The pool and general landscaping were lovely. Though the pool water was not right (too much Sulfur?) The staff helped us out by organising breakfast boxes for us (we had to leave before 5am). We really appreciated this service and the delicious food.

- The food: breakfast was very poor in choices for people who do not eat pastry… no vegetables… no egg variety (just boiled)… we didn’t enjoy it…; we also had dinner one evening and, besides having to stay inside (because the terrace was booked for some event), the food was not great either.

- Had a cozy room with a pool and sea view (the sea is pretty far away though) and a nice canopy bed, a big bathroom and a nice terrace with loungers - The place is beautiful and clean and offers great sunsets - The staff is very nice and hospitable, ready to accommodate all your needs

Can't think of anything.

The views, setting, facilities and the structure/building itself. The setting of the dining area where meals are served is outstanding - with amazing views of the pool and sea. We stayed at the Masseria twice before Covid when it was under previous ownership. We didn't think it could be improved but it has. We will be back - SOON. The restaurant is now being run by Matteo Normanno whose cooking is a revaluation and couldn't be faulted. We had food there twice in three days!. If you stay there, or nearby, do not miss the opportunity to eat in the restaurant. You won't be disappointed. All the staff in the Masseria and restaurant could not be faulted - nothing be too much trouble.

We stayed at a Masseria Samenti in southern Italy and everything was simply wonderful. From the moment we arrived, despite being late for check-in, we were warmly welcomed by Barbara, her kindness and hospitality made our stay even more special and her warmth truly made us feel at home. The atmosphere of the property was enchanting— peaceful, authentic, and perfectly in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The service throughout our stay was impeccable. The waiter at breakfast was especially friendly and attentive, making our mornings even more pleasant. We also chose to take part in one of the activities offered at the hotel—a ceramics class with Marina. It was a truly unique and memorable experience, held right on the premises of the Masseria. We loved every moment of it. Thank you so much for everything! We will definitely be coming back very soon.

This is a stunningly beautiful property. Modern, yet traditional in decor. Barbara gave us a warm welcome and gave us a wonderful recommendation for a nearby beach, which was equally stunning.

There was an event in the restaurant which was quite noisy at night. But when we complained they immediately stopped the music and also offered us a drink the next day.

Beautiful pool area, nice restaurant, spacious and cozy room. Excellent value for money. The hotel is in very good condition and for this area, you can hardly find anything of better quality.

No dining available on the night we were there (booked for a party).

Very nice Masseria, located near the beach (no walking distance though). An oasis of peace and quiet, very nice manager who went out of her way to accommodate to our needs. Great pool, although a bit on the cold side. Ideal place to relax and unwind.

Breakfast & dinner was very good - very nice people

While the stay was wonderful, updating the mattresses and bedding to more modern standards would enhance the overall comfort and experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an excellent experience. The pool was simply amazing, perfect for relaxation, and the room size was very generous, providing plenty of space to unwind. The sunset view from the hotel was absolutely stunning, creating the perfect backdrop for a serene evening. Breakfast was a highlight—there was a lovely selection, including delicious handmade pastries that were a real treat each morning. Dinner on-site was also impressive, offering good value for money with a variety of tasty options.

Found it difficult to get a restaurant reservation as it is so popular so would advise booking in advance

The style of the property was lovely and the pool is stunning. The people were also really friendly and fell over themselves to help with any requests!

See above.

This is a beautifully situated property with a lovely garden and stunning views and it could be almost perfect. But there are some annoying, small but significant problems which it needs to fix. For example, the parasol umbrellas around the pool are made of a strange, porous, crochet-type material that means they don’t offer much protection from the very strong Puglian sun. The smaller rooms, such as those called “pool view” where we spent the first three of four nights do not match up to the five star quality and size you’d expect from the five star prices. (After we complained about this, we spent a last night in the much bigger tower room, which was lovely.) On the other hand, the staff are capable and pleasant, the food is decent and there are some enjoyable extras - pottery and pasta making tuition included in the price, and one evening we were there, an excellent live band playing pizzica, the traditional Salento music. The Ola e needs its management to pay more attention to these details.

I loved the kindness of the staff, the location and the room!

Before booking the trip I red a few reviews and if I should be honest and picky one thing that has disturbed me was the smell of the chlorine on the arrival! It disappeared quickly though……..

Everything was great and I can highly recommend! The pool is absolutely gorgeous the bungalows are beautiful and the restaurant is excellent
