Ristorante Il Gambero In Otranto

After an unforgettable experience in May, I was thrilled to return to Masseria dei Monaci in Otranto, and once again, this luxury resort overlooking the sea exceeded all expectations. It's a place where every detail is designed to ensure maximum comfort. One of Masseria dei Monaci's many strengths is, without a doubt, the exceptional culinary offerings, celebrating the authentic flavors of Salento. Breakfast is a veritable triumph of top-quality products, with an abundance and variety that delights the palate from the morning onward. Every element, from sweet to savory, is a celebration of freshness and local authenticity. Dinners, then, are an experience in themselves. Served outdoors in an enchanting poolside setting, they create a magical and romantic atmosphere. The dishes are a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, expertly prepared using carefully selected ingredients. Every bite is a sensory journey that highlights the richness of Salento cuisine. Special thanks go to Mrs. Germana, the owner, whose presence makes Masseria dei Monaci truly unique. Her professionalism is impeccable: every aspect of the resort is managed with care and attention, ensuring the highest level of service. But it's her personal sensitivity that makes the real difference. Mrs. Germana welcomes each guest with sincere warmth, making them feel part of a large family. Her helpfulness, her valuable advice, and her passion for hospitality transform a stay into a deeply rewarding experience.

An oasis of tranquility, silence, and relaxation, accompanied by the cheerful sound of cicadas. Lots of well-kept greenery, and plenty of art evident in the use of stone and fine ceramics. The property is truly beautifully furnished down to the smallest detail, and every room is spotlessly clean. The staff is extremely kind, and the breakfast is divine, featuring Apulian products, some of which are genuine. A great stay for me.

Wonderful place. Intimate and welcoming, young staff, very kind and attentive. All qualities of a truly splendid location. Dinner with very fresh and expertly treated products. We will return!

Fantastically beautiful! A magnificent hotel/masseria. A perfect place to unwind. Super friendly staff. A lavish morning buffet. A poolside bar with great drinks and food. Thank you, a thousand hearts for your relaxation.

An Unforgettable Oasis of Luxury with a Welcoming Soul. My recent weekend at this exclusive property was simply transcendental. From the privileged location with a breathtaking view of the sea that enchants the soul, to the top-notch comforts. Every detail was taken care of to offer an unforgettable experience. My suite, in particular, was a true sanctuary of luxury, culminating in the splendid indoor heated pool that transformed every moment into an oasis of relaxation and well-being. Imagine immersing yourself in warm waters with the sea breeze caressing your skin... a true dream! But what made this stay even more special was the exceptional welcome and professionalism of Ms. Germana and the entire staff. Each member of the team, with a sincere smile and impeccable dedication, went out of their way to anticipate our every need, making us feel not just like simple guests, but like true friends. Their attention to detail, kindness and helpfulness were simply admirable and added an inestimable value to the entire experience. It is rare to find a property of such prestige that manages to combine stunning luxury with such a warm and familiar atmosphere. Masseria Dei Monaci is not just a place to stay, but a complete sensory experience that regenerates body and spirit. A heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Germana and all the staff for making this weekend a precious memory. I can't wait to return to this corner of paradise!

my comments are in the details below, I really liked the place but what really bothered me was the reception at 12:30 p.m. when we arrived only to leave the luggage, we knew very well that the room was available only from 3 p.m., twice in a row we were told (on the intercom and in person that the room will not be ready until 3 p.m.), the tone was neither friendly and even less hospitable. Likewise, the way a person at the reception shouted behind a customer on the patio that pool towels should not leave the establishment, this was absolutely not pleasant to hear. on the other hand, your establishment is magnificent, it is not worth everything, in my personal opinion THANKS

We stayed here for two nights. This was the most beautiful and best Masseria we have ever stayed in. The location is perfect, the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is exceptionally fantastic and extensive. The rooms are perfect and clean. We were sad that we only stayed for two nights. We will definitely come back for a longer stay. If I may mention one point for improvement, the mattress was a bit too firm for my taste (which is always a matter of personal preference), but it also seemed slightly worn in. Other than that, 5* for everything! Hopefully, see you soon! 🙏🏻☀️"

Splendid farmhouse, I think the best breakfast I have been offered in a hotel. Hospitality, kindness and cleanliness are top marks
