Every morning the tables were laid and ready outside on the terrace. Coffee and teas brought to our table. inside was a wonderful buffet of continental and Italian delights. And some home made on the 'masseria' products like lemon and apricot jams. This was all included in the price, but there was also a small menu of omelettes and scrambled eggs and pancetta at an little extra cost, which we had a few times as the omelettes were cooked to perfection. Really, really nice breakfast and beautifully presented.

We couldn't fault anything.

The Masseria is really beautiful and the characterful buildings are impressively restored, historic and special. The swimming pool was great and we appreciated a relaxing and refreshing swim after a day of travelling. The Masseria is very well located for visiting the lovely town of Lecce. Everything is of a very high standard and extremely comfortable; highly recommended.

The only disaapointment was that because we were there on a Sunday morning, we were told that there had been no bread delivery for breakfast. This was a pity as we then couldn't sample the delicious looking selection of homemade jams provided in the buffet breakfast.

A lovely and tranquil oasis! The Masseria has been beautifully restored and is spacious and calm - a beautiful retreat for our family and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Eleonora and her team were wonderful and attentive without being intrusive. Breakfast and the food prepared for us using local ingredients and jams and olive oil produced at the Masseria were perfection!

Nothing - we loved every minute of our stay!

Very well restored, well-equipped, and although not in a great location, it's not far from the town either. The people are very attentive and helpful. The pool area is very nice and relaxing; we really enjoyed it.

The only thing I didn't like was the noise the trains make when they pass by (they pass very close to the messeria). They make the room vibrate and disturb your sleep, which happens several times a day from early in the morning.

The Masseria Borgo Mortella is really beautiful, it is perfect all nicely decorated. The room was comfortable, the pool was really nice with the gardens and olive grove surrounding the house. The breakfast was excellent, traditional food of the region and for a farmhouse. We got recommendations for places to visit near and around Salento. The location was perfect and close to Lecce, we love the recommendations for dining. If we go back to Lecce, we will definitely stay here again.

Nothing

The actual old house was very beautiful and wonderfully restored. Pretty gardens and very good pool with comfy sun beds. we had a ‘junior suite’ which was comfy if slightly precarious with a narrow stair up to the bed which was on a mezzanine level. Very friendly helpful owner. Delicious breakfast and home made jams.

Our bed was up a very narrow set of stairs/steps with a slightly curious rope arrangement to stop us falling quite a long way down into the sitting area and a bannister on the wall side…. as mentioned in other reviews there is a main road one side which spoils the peace by the pool and a train that runs right by the garden wall day and night slightly shaking the property. Quite expensive we felt. Also very hard to find the gate in as has two.. one locked by a padlock and another with rather unclear sign. As on fast road you really had to know where to turn in! Tissues in the bathroom would be good. Realise have to drive into Lecce every evening for supper as nothing near.

Staff is really friendly and helpful and the room was very clean. Moreover breakfast is served with fresh products and they’ve also got homemade products which were amazing. Nice pool too. You can get to Lecce within 10 to 15 minutes.

The masseria designed in a perfect way that you feel like it is your private home. You can enjoy every corner of this amazing property with peace and pleasure. And the most important is, Eleonora and Carlo and their team are amazing.

All is perfect😊

Beautiful property with an amazing pool

A bit expensive for an air bnb type set up but the amazing staff and attention to detail made it worth it

It is a stunning property
