In terms of the location/surroundings, the masseria is beautiful and relaxing, with a lovely pool and plenty of sun loungers, hammocks and choice shaded seating. The location is also very good - 30 mins to the airport by car and similar distance to some lovely towns (Monopoli, Ceglie) as well as only 10 mins to Ostuni and several lidos (recommend Lido Morelli). Communication with Vito was good and quick, mostly through the Airbnb app to help with translation.
In terms of accommodation, the apartment was fine, but realistically on the small side for our week long stay - e.g., there wasn’t enough space in the bedroom to store clothes and bags, and it was a bit frustrating that there wasn’t anywhere comfortable to sit inside (only the dining table/bench, which has no cushions). I’d also recommend that there are a few basic upgrades made to make it more comfortable and representative of the price - e.g. having a bedside table on each side of the bed, an extra lamp in the dining room as it can be quite dark - unless you want the main bright light on all evening - and additional basic cooking and cleaning supplies (there was only a very small pot each of salt, coffee, oil, and a pot each of soap and dish soap - generally other Airbnbs/self catering villas I’ve stayed in have had a much better stock of basics).
The property doesn’t have a TV as listed which was a bit disappointing, and it’s worth pointing out that the washing machine is actually shared between the properties so you may not always have access. Additionally, after you have used the washing machine once, they also request that you pay €5 for any subsequent washes, which feels slightly mean given that this accommodation is not the cheapest, and a bit unfair given that there are only one set of towels, sheets, and dish towels available.
It’s also worth noting that there are lots of mosquitos in the area - we really would have appreciated knowing this beforehand as they proved quite troublesome - the windows all have nets over them but this does not effectively stop them. We had to buy lots of repellent and citronella candles but still got quite bitten.
The A/C was not very powerful so I wouldn’t want to stay here in the summer - it was about 27C during the day while we were here and this was just about manageable through the night.
Overall, I would definitely stay at the masseria again given the beautiful surroundings and great location, but would perhaps try one of the other apartments.
