Lovely pool, excellent breakfast with plenty of options, including delicious homemade delicacies. If you have the opportunity, try the dinner at their restaurant (not included in room price) - it’s the best meal we had during our entire vacation in Puglia. Clean room and friendly staff. A short drive to the cozy town of Otranto.

The rooms is rather small, and the third bed is very hard. The little balcony gets very hot in the afternoon, but has no shade so we can’t sit there comfortably. Wifi is unstable. They can only serve very simple lunch that you have to pre-order in the morning, while the pool bar that offers snacks is only open at 4-7 PM. Since the location is quite remote with no other restaurants around, it makes you not want to stay there during the day.

The pool area was large, scenic and relaxing. We booked two massages and both enjoyed them a lot. The dinner was delicious. Bed very comfortable. No view from room but a little table in front of room was nice to sit at and we meet our nice neighbor that way and shared a glass of wine together.

Didn't feel historic, seemed like recent construction, and we were kind of thinking we'd be staying at a picturesque farm house. Also we were not happy that we couldn't use the spa facilities for free even though we had booked massages. I think if you are paying 80 euros for a massage, that you should be able to use the facilities. They wanted to charge us an additional 30 euros. It's why we stayed there, to have a relaxing spa day, so it was a bit frustrating.

The perfect spot for R&R with a kind and accomodating staff. The first day, they granted us early check-in and we relaxed by their outodor pool area. The room was spacious, well equipped and we slept exceptionally well. The next morning, they granted us late check-out so that we could have time to use their spa. The spa was perfectly indulgent: a warm pool, a cold plunge pool, a sauna, a turkish bath, and a warm and cold foot massage pool. Plus, the woman managing it was kind and caring; preparing for us plates with cookies and fruits.

That we didn't stay longer!

Nice pool area, breakfast buffet was satisfactory to good. The staff were amazing and very helpful. In particular the lady at reception gave us expectional tips on winerys and beaches in the local area and went out of her way to help. The room was absolutely spotless.

Room rate was a little high for off season and given the location is >2Km from the old town Otranto approached by a very narrow country road so walking to Otranto is not an option. You need to drive to the old town. We didn't try the restaurant as it needed a reservation and looked on the pricey side.

Beautiful property located a short distance from Otranto. There is a lovely pool area to relax in and the on site restaurant is particularly good. A good breakfast is also available each morning

The only minor negative is that many of the rooms are closer together than the pictures show so there is no privacy sitting out on your terrace and there is poor sound proofing between the rooms.

The room was amazing. Super peaceful area with a beautiful pool and spa facility. The included breakfast was amazing. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is a must, we tasted quite a few things and everything was absolutely delicious. 7 min away by car from the city center. Would definitely stay there again!

It is in a rural setting very quiet super clean beautiful restaurant and pool beautiful gardens and decor beautiful helpful staff

You have to drive into the old town of Otranto so you can’t just leave the accom and walk around our breakfast wasn’t included in the price. Dinner was a beautiful romantic setting slightly pricey service was wonderful

A lovely stay at Masseria Bandino in Otranto. We had some great dinners at the restaurant and the staff (especially the young waiter) were all very nice, polite, knowledgeable and helpful.

Unfortunately the internet in our room (room 16) did not work at all. The water in the pool was very cold - not sure if this is because of the size of the pool. It was lovely; just a bit cold.

The property is very pretty in a great location with a beautiful pool and very good restaurant. very friendly and professional staff, particularly Katiuscia on Reception. Getting into Otranto was easy by driving or by taxi and about one hour to Lecce.

Nothing

The property is beautiful, room decor exceptional, beds extremely comfy. Pool area amazing. Felt at home.

Cost of the spa for 2 hours. Wanted you to stay by pool all day and found lunch wasn’t easy to get. Need a more casual lunch time menu.
