04/09/2025: We enjoyed our first paposcia here: prawns, glasswort and dried tomatoes...a delight!!!

24/08/2025: I've never had a business owner refuse to seat me, even though we'd said we'd wait to get a seat because there wasn't enough room. A table was about to become available, and the very customers who were supposed to give up their seats were shocked by the owner's response. Rude to the max, arrogant and presumptuous. There were eight of us; not only did they lose a potentially inviting table, but there was no valid reason why we shouldn't be seated.

05/03/2026: Great place to eat both sweet and savoury

Chef Ippazio Turco masterfully reinterprets traditional flavors, offering high-quality seafood dishes prepared with modern techniques and the freshest ingredients.

12/10/2025: In addition to the magnificently furnished venue, the refined and varied menu adds to its beauty. The dishes are primarily fish-based. Finally, it's worth trying the chef's gins. I highly recommend it.

05/04/2026: The food was amazing, but the service was even more outstanding. My mom has a food allergy and not only did they prepared everything fresh with this in mind, they even brought her a small appetiser which would usually require the ingredient. All in all the best experience we had in Italy in regards of food, which says a lot.

01/01/2026: We had some appetizers prepared for New Year's Eve with raw and cooked fish... a unique specialty, congratulations, thank you very much.

26/09/2025: Nice place and professional and kind staff

08/04/2026: Beautiful location immersed in the Corato countryside

02/04/2026: Excellent value for money, but it was raining that day, and I wasn't able to fully appreciate the property. I'll be back soon and will update my review, hopefully to upgrade to 4 stars.

12/02/2026: The staff were very welcoming and courteous. The entire property displays great care and attention to detail. The suite with a pool is simply stunning, as well as very quaint. Even though it wasn't high season, our stay was still very pleasant, and the property is in top form. Plus, it boasts an excellent sea view. Definitely not to be missed if you're near Otranto.

09/01/2026: We stayed at this property for three nights. Upon check-in, we received a warm welcome that gave us hope. The masseria immediately struck us as beautiful and elegant. We booked two nights in a superior room, on two levels. The third night was in a suite with a small indoor pool. Nothing to complain about the interior decor and layout of the room, which is in typical Salento masseria style. Perhaps a little impractical, but nevertheless refined and tasteful. Problems arose after a few minutes... There was only one convector heater, which blew out lukewarm air and struggled to heat the entire room (the convector heater upstairs wasn't working). The temperature outside was close to freezing. There was no dehumidifier. The room was extremely cold, and the humidity inside was almost unbearable, so much so that water was dripping from the walls and the sheets were wet, as was the mattress. We reported the problem to the owner, who replied that it wasn't her fault if it was cold, and even if she'd given us extra sheets, they would still have been damp. She blamed the particularly cold time of year, not a clearly and grossly inadequate heating and dehumidification system. We didn't sleep a wink that night, and I felt very sick. I mentioned all this again the next morning to the owner, who downplayed the whole thing, saying it had never been this cold in Salento. She then dismissed me somewhat bluntly and resolved the problem her way, simply giving me an extra blanket. The second night, despite having paid for the room, we even went to sleep at a friend's house to avoid another sleepless night, especially considering the hotel's practically zero willingness to resolve our issue. To avoid completely wasting our money, we still enjoyed breakfast, which we have nothing to complain about because it was excellent. The third night, we moved to the Monaci suite, hoping the situation would improve. A stunning and beautiful suite with a wall-mounted split heating system that's significantly more efficient and independently controllable... although the walls were still dripping with water, and the floor was riddled with water. The bathroom didn't even have an opening window or ventilation system, and after a shower, all the humidity remained on the walls, clothes, and floor, even though we'd turned on the dehumidifier. At least we were able to sleep, because it was definitely warmer. But I don't think a property with such humidity problems (not just those with indoor pools) can be rented in the winter, especially at such high prices. I believe that the primary goal of a hospitality facility, especially one aiming to achieve certain standards, should be the OVERALL comfort of its guests. This review is simply an opinion based on our direct experience. **After reading the property's response to my review, I only found further proof that they clearly don't accept criticism and tend to place the blame on the guest's incompetence, rather than taking constructive action to resolve issues that make their guests' stay unpleasant. I would like to point out that no second split unit was activated in our room (the one upstairs wasn't working) and that we are able to use an air conditioner. ***The fact that their property is light years different from mine should be an EVEN MORE guarantee of a comfortable stay for guests, not the other way around! If a guest is forced to stay elsewhere, despite having paid for the room, there's clearly something wrong, and this is an objective fact, not a personal opinion.

04/01/2026: A truly wonderful restaurant — perfect for a morning espresso and breakfast, a relaxed drink, or enjoying the fabulous fresh food. I followed the attentive staff’s recommendations several times and was rewarded each time with a fantastic culinary experience. We will definitely be back.

18/10/2025: Everything was delicious, very fast and the waiters were very fast and attentive.

08/09/2025: I went to this place yesterday for the first time, I didn't think the meat was so good and tender.. thin and quality horse meat slice, excellent pork strips.. service could be improved a bit but I would go there again.. excellent price.

27/12/2025: The food and service are good, but the place is a bit small, but I recommend going!
