04/10/2025: We felt completely at home at Masseria Palombara — it was a true reprieve, and we felt deeply cared for even though there was a little difficulty during check in. Everything was smoothed out in a short amount of time. The grounds are stunning and have a magical, peaceful quality that immediately puts you at ease.
Our cooking class was a highlight — we learned to make orecchiette, a local eggplant dish, and tiramisu, and even made new friends along the way. Chef Fouzia and her wonderful assistant Mesi were so warm, patient, and engaging.
Francesca, the manager, was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond — Ishmael was always smiling and ready with excellent local recommendations, and Pasquale made the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had.
The hammam felt otherworldly, and our massages left us feeling renewed and deeply relaxed.
We’re so grateful for their hospitality and can’t recommend this place enough — truly a 10/10 experience in every way.
