Staying at Masseria Fragneto was great, a half-olympic pool, lovely grass area surrounding it for a spot of football or bocce. A (very) large house, with spacious bedrooms, cooling breezes and very manor-house feel.
There are three normal bedrooms with large double beds, one huge bedroom with emperor size bed, a bedroom with two beds, and a small bedroom with single bed. Then there are the three dining rooms and two sitting rooms, a lovely kitchen and entry room. corridors have interesting pictures of occupants from the early 20th century and the entry room is full of brochures and information on things to do.
2-3 average sized families could fit comfortably, with enough space that you don't feel cramped and can have some alone time when needed.
With the pool and grass area so enjoyable, it was hard to pull ourselves away, but we still managed to go exploring. The area is verdant even in mid-July, the towns around are well kept and not overly touristic. We had wonderful food and great welcome (almost) everywhere we went. A special mention to Locorotondo, an amazing gem of a town. Polignano a Mare was also lovely, but food overlooking the sea was overpriced and stolid.
Masseria Fragneto had a few slight down sides. The bathroom were spacious but showers cramped. Also, the kitchen lovely but fridge small for 2-3 families unless every meal is eaten out.
