Lovely family hideaway
The property is lovely and has almost all you need. The GPS coordinates are essential to find the home. A little remote from shops and town so car is a must. Darren was fabulous and helped us a lot. No pool fence so be alert with young children. Otherwise recommended

A beautiful place to stay
The Masseria has been beautifully restored and is now a very comfortable property with a stunning pool and lovely garden. It is very well equipped and we loved staying there. The location is perfect for visiting Alberobello and other attractions. Darren, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended.
