Expectations were already extremely high from looking at the photo's of Antonio's masseria and researching the region. For everything to then surpass our expectations is a massive testament to the place and the hosts.
From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by the owner, Antonio, the trip was perfect. From the huge villa, all perfectly presented, the infinity pool overlooking the huge (must be over an acre easily) olive grove/ vineyard/ fruit and vegetable garden, from which we cooked for the duration of our stay (often due to Antonio visiting early in the morning and leaving a basket full of fruit and veg for us that he had just picked, or our own daily strolls around the grounds), to the convenient location just a few mins drive from the town of Ostuni and local supermarkets etc....it was all just insane. The olive oil and wine were from the garden!
The place was crazy big for just my wife, little boy and we're going to find it hard to find something so incredible on our next holiday....it's not unlikely that we'll just come back!
Antonio was the perfect host, bringing not only fruit and veg but also dropping off treats like delicious pastries, fresh eggs from his mothers chickens, fresh apricot jam or even toys for our son to play with, it was just all above and beyond. Can't recommend enough.
