18/07/2025: 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.
13/07/2025: 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.
