Donato is quick to respond and very accommodating and helpful! The Masseria is set amid lovely orchards of olives, cherries and almonds - all organic and readily available. It is perfectly situated to explore beaches as well as lovely surrounding villages but equally relaxing to spend the day by the pool or walking in the surrounding countryside. The house itself is lovely with beautiful high stone ceilings and large well-appointed rooms. The only downside is that one must pass through various bedrooms to access bathrooms or exit the Masseria to outdoor spaces or the kitchen. If this issue was sorted, the house would be absolutely perfect. The layout means that the Masseria is definitely suited for close friends and family. That said, it is a lovely place and would certainly consider returning for future events given all the stunning outdoor spaces and cellar-like event spaces.
