We only have wonderful things to share about our experience at Bellavista Masseria. We arrived with 5 people and were later joined by 3 family members. This old farmhouse from the 1700s is spacious, warm, fascinating, relaxing and impeccably furnished. Every detail seems to have been considered. You’ll find a hammock outside, a terrace for eating, three large rooms, and acres of olive trees. Additionally, there are modern comforts such as wifi, TV, and a washing machine. Our hosts, Joe and Daniel were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They shared much of their insight into this fascinating territory. Not only did they loan us their beach umbrellas but they regularly left freshly picked fruit at our door. Ostuni is a short 5-minute drive. It is an absolutely amazing city, which is reminiscent of an old Greek town with whitewashed stairs that lead everywhere and nowhere. The town is magical. The beach is also about 5-minute drive on tiny, winding, ancient roads (some dating back to the Roman period). As someone who has lived in Italy and traveled throughout the country, I give my strongest recommendation—It’s and airbnb gem!
