We are so grateful for our stay at Masseria Sant’Oronzo! If Puglia is the new Italian region to visit, Masseria Sant’Oronzo is definitively the place to stay at, whilst doing so.
Simonetta’s family have been amazing hosts, friendly and full of great tips to enjoy the area, from beaches to restaurants to local towns to visit. The flat was spotless and very functional, not to mention the Masseria in itself is such a beautiful building, typical of the area, dating from 15 hundreds, with a charming terrace encircled by white walls covered with colourful flowers and with a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by secular olive trees, in the middle of very well kept green grass.
The quality of the mattresses was excellent, we had very comfy sleep and Simonetta’s daughter Bianca, knowing we were arriving on a Sunday, left us ready in the flat fresh water, coffe, milk and some breakfast items so we could do some grocery shopping on the Monday instead!
Originally from Tuscany and with Sicilian blood, we were impressed with the beauty of Puglia and fell in love at first sight! Local free beaches near ‘lidos’: Porto Giardino, Bambù, Le Macchie and Tavernese.
Local towns to visit: Trani (north of Bari airport before driving down to Masseria Sant’Oronzo), Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, Alberobello.
We are seriously considering to make Puglia and Masseria Sant’Oronzo a regular destination for our May half term holidays! Thank you again Simonetta and family for your kind hospitality.
