We stayed in the studio apartment of the Masseria set apart from the main house, which was a comfort during Covid times.
The main house and studio apartment are both lovely places, fantastically restored. Situated in groves of olive trees, you feel you are isolated from the world entirely. But quite the opposite: all the great beaches and towns are within 15min - 1 hr drive of the Masseria. Based on what we saw, I would choose again to stay here in the tranquility away from the hustle of the beach towns and drive to a different beach each day. We enjoyed the variety.
The studio apartment itself is even more charming due to it’s location behind a long shaded drive with olive groves outside of your front window. You also have a private backyard good for sunbathing.
The breakfast foods were excellent. The hosts also helped us buy some olive oil which they make on the premises. They also provided great food recommendations for local eateries.
All in all, this is a magnificent place to stay.
