Our stay at Vinilia Wine Resort was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Giulia’s warm and sincere welcome, which set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The highlight of our visit was dining at the Casamatta restaurant, the kitchen of Pietro Penna, which holds the distinction of being awarded the 2021 Green Michelin Star, the first of its kind in Apulia. The four-course dinner was a true masterpiece – a concert of flavors, expertly crafted by sous-chef Ibrah and impeccable service orchestrated by the talented team of Gabriele, Pierpaolo, and Francesco - made this a meal we’ll remember! Gracie mille, Gabriele, for our early Sunday cappuccinos! We hope to return… Tatiana and Jiri

We spent three nights into this really nice property: great location to discover Puglia, great place to relax with a fantastic park, very quiet, with a great room and terrace. And then of course the restaurant: we decided to have all our diners there and enjoy the great dishes and wine. Fantastic value for money in my opinion, and the team was really going out of their way to make our experience memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the region!

We had the 6 course tasting menu and wine flight as a celebration for a big birthday. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and the menu delicious

We had room 7 which is a superior but quite a way from the main house and on its own with another room, facing out of the resort. I think so would have preferred to be on the other side facing the main property.

The property is truly magical and unlike any I've ever stayed in...I'm hesitant to share too much as it's truly a hidden gem and I don't want it to change! The grounds are perfect, the food delicious and farm to table, the staff are kind and hospitable - there's nothing that I would change.

The only "downside" is the converted castle is a short drive from the beach and nearby towns, so it requires a car and/or driver to explore beyond the property. Since castles are not easily moved, this is my only negative comment!

Stunning location, beautiful pool area, lovely restaurant, great toiletries (Diptyque Paris), very good breakfast

restaurant was fantastic (Michelin starred) some guests may wish for a more casual dining option if staying for longer period. food round pool was good but a little pricey. resort could do more to promote the wine aspect of the resort (wine list at the pool was a little limited) perhaps be a bit more proactive suggesting tours to local wineries?

The hotel was impressive - as the gate opened, it felt as if we were entering a cool villains lair! The execution of the interiors was lovely and the grounds are impeccable. The pool is lovely to spend time around too. The room was lovely - although a little dark when trying to do your makeup in the evening. Breakfast was lovely+ fab quality. Lots grown/produced on site which was a bonus.

There isn't much to do locally unless you have a car. Staff weren't helpful if you wanted to go in to Manduria of an evening. They should include an a la carte menu, as like us - we didn't want a tasting menu for 2 nights but it is hard to go anywhere else for dinner if you want a drink. (The hotel did accommodate but we had to ask but we knew others staying there that were not offered the same.) The bar should open earlier too & their wine tasting/experiences could be sold better.

Amazind renovated masseria. Full of art pieces. Breakfast is very good. The team is the clue for our satisfaction. Especially Miss Adriana and Mr Fernando. Kind, helpful, very professional. Wine tasting guided by Mr Fernando was interesting and tasty.

No elevator

Beautiful property offering a relaxing break while traveling. With a lovely pool area. Restaurant on site was very good and recommend dining there.

It would have been nice if the rooms had an iron and you didn’t have to use laundry facilities.

Chilled vibe with comfortable room and full facilities. Food at restaurant was excellent and a good wine list.

A little isolated so have to drive / taxi a fair way to get to Manduria - but an interesting town to see.

Luxurious place! Really nice, modernly renovated castle, superb restaurant and very hospitable staff. A place worth visiting when in Manduria! Suggest their wine tasting as well!
