We stayed in the Melagrano unit at Masseria Pepenofio for nine days and enjoyed every minute. Our unit had the feel of a small home with separate living, kitchen, bedroom and covered terrace areas. The grounds around the Masseria are elegant and ancient olive tree groves. The pool was very inviting with the salty water system and solarium areas are large, well constructed and furnished giving all parties staying at the property ample open and private spaces to enjoy throughout the days. We took a few day trips to see some of the nearby attractions but spent most days just lounging around the pool, enjoying the sun, heat and sea breezes. Going into Monopoli for dinner was close and easy and we highly recommend Essenza Tempo or Lido Bianca's terrace overlooking the sea. Also, visit Massaria Lamapecora for fresh homemade cheeses, I have to say it been the culinary highlight of our 7months of traveling!
