We had a magic 5 days at Masseria del Cavaliere - it is a truly special place. As soon as you exit the road onto the driveway of the Masseria there is a sense of total calm and tranquility. The house is set in an orchard, full of fresh figs, pears and almonds, and there is an abundance of beautiful places to sit and relax, watch the sun go down or read a book in the shade. The attention to detail in our apartment, Serafino, is second to none. Fabio & Dorit have filled every corner and crevice with beautiful and interesting objects from their extensive travels around the world. Serafino is set in the cool, stony base of the house, we loved waking up under the beautiful white washed ancient arches of the building. In the heat of the day the apartment was a cool and refreshing haven. The kitchen is brand new, a dream to cook in (and look at too!). The bathroom was our favourite bit- beautiful fixtures and a lovely big shower. There is even a sweet little dressing room and somewhere to hide your empty cases.
Fabio and Dorit have style and class and were the perfect hosts- meeting us on our arrival with a cold beer and giving us local tips on where to eat/beaches/ towns to visit. They made restaurant reservations for us and offered us a lift into town, also kept us topped up with fresh fruit from the garden every day which was so kind. We didn't want to leave! We wish them every success for the rest of the season and can't wait to return next year. R&G x
