Masseria Palombara Ristorante In Oria

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.

I had an amazing stay at Massera Palombara. It was a truly high end and personalized experience. The atmosphere was serene and relaxing, the perfect setting to disconnect and enjoy. Francesca was absolutely lovely, attentive and warm, making everything feel effortless and tailored. The dinner staff, especially Fabio, went above and beyond. His service and attention to detail made every meal exceptional. Everything from the ambiance to the hospitality was outstanding. I recommend Massera Palombara for anyone looking for the best welcoming retreat.

We had the pleasure of staying at this splendid Masseria in Oria, near Manduria, at the end of September. At Masseria Palombara, you'll find relaxation and high-end comfort, all the amenities of a resort and more, but above all, the welcome of a home. The renovation has enhanced every space and everyday object, which you'll find in every corner, immersing you in a bygone yet authentic time. The atmosphere is Fellini-esque...that of the Dolce Vita of the 1950s and 1960s, and so is the background music. The furnishings are tasteful, with original period pieces and some cleverly combined designer pieces; every object has found its place in the Masseria. We stayed in a Deluxe Room with Patio, which was very spacious and equipped with every comfort, including a coffee machine and free minibar. Every request was fulfilled. The catering is top-notch, using home-grown and local products (the almond ice cream is exceptional), and the staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The gentle Blu and the tenacious Pato are adorable, the true hosts. Breakfast also tastes like home: served at the table with three savory dishes that change daily, as well as biscuits and cakes, yogurt, jam, and fruit. We enjoyed it very much. If I really had to point out something, perhaps the prices of some "humble" dishes (for example, orecchiette with tomato sauce at €26.00) are a bit excessive, but the property is truly worth it, and the price of the stay is excellent value. The sea is less than 30 minutes away, at least in September. Thank you and see you soon!

An extraordinary stay! Masseria d'Angelo is splendid, full of charm and a much-appreciated tranquility. The rooms and common areas (pools, spa, gym, etc.) are all of a very high standard. The restaurant is also worth a visit. Finally, the staff is very attentive and bends over backwards to ensure you have an extraordinary, timeless experience. A must-do!

Not sure where to start, we've had an amazing stay at the Masseria. This was our second time but no doubt will not be the last time. The Masseria itself, the staff are both amazing and very thoughtfull. We've got engaged during our stay and besides it already being a special week they went the extra mile to make it even better. The Masseria itslf has everything you need but there are also a lot of towns close by for day trips and all very easy accessable per car. We're already looking forward to coming back. Thanks!

Lovely cozy place with amazing people creating a maximum relaxing and warm atmosphere

Nestled in the countryside, among almond trees and dry-stone walls, this masseria tells a story of tradition and care. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, yet simple, as if time had paused to let you savor every moment. The cuisine is a true pleasure for the palate: authentic flavors, fresh and organic ingredients, dishes that seem to be prepared with love, respecting the land and its generosity. Every bite is a discovery, an invitation to slow down and appreciate. The staff is always present but never intrusive, kind and attentive, capable of making you feel at home without losing that touch of professionalism that makes everything so special. This experience stays with you, a moment of respite and beauty that I recommend to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the true Puglia. Masseria Palombara, Oria (BR).

A beautiful and very creative hotel! Designed with great attention to detail, full of an inspiring atmosphere and a special charm that is rarely found. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique experience.

What a wonderful discovery this hotel is, nestled in the heart of a timeless estate. The staff is truly attentive and always very friendly. We had a wonderful evening. And the class goes to the owner who offered us a full meal after learning that we had waited too long for our dishes. Hospitality is undoubtedly at the heart of the Masseria Palombara's DNA. Bravo

We have visited Puglia many times and Masseria Palombara is one of the very best places we've stayed. It has a peaceful atmosphere and is stylishly decorated. The restaurant serves excellent cuisine in a romantic setting. The Masseria is run by a charming and friendly team. We would highly recommend it.
