We loved everything about our stay, and wish we'd been there longer! The hospitality was through the roof - everyone who worked there was so welcoming, helpful and kind. Our room was incredible - so spacious and bright and clean. And the property itself had lots of beautiful areas to relax, from the courtyard to the area outside our room to the pool (where we spent days lounging!). The honesty bar by the pool was a lovely touch - and the kittens roaming around were a bonus! We were torn each day whether to explore the area or just soak up Masseria Il Frantoio.

Honestly can't think of anything!

Masseria il Frantoio is a wonderful place to stay. It's in the countryside a few miles from Ostuni. It's down a winding track off the road. It's so peaceful there, with the only sounds being birdsong - we heard a scops owl both nights we were there. The room was lovely with a really comfortable bed. We were in the main courtyard of the property, close to the beautiful gardens. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We could wander freely round the gardens, the old olive pressing room and the small chapel. We ate in the restaurant one night - they provide a tasting menu with wine pairing which was excellent and good value for money.

Nothing!

The. food, the staff, the beautiful Masseria and olive trees were wonderful. Every night I ate there was freshly prepared gluten free pasta and bread. Their own olive oil, fruit and vegetables. Breakfast was freshly prepared fruit, eggs GF bread and freshly made marmalade. It was divine.

I was very restricted by not having a car and being somewhat disabled. I could not really explore and the taxis, although very good, were very expensive. That did mean I could not afford to go out every day. I would have appreciated more information pamphlets about local places to visit and how to get there without a taxi every time.

Absolutely stunning Masseria! The room was so beautiful and cozy, with very comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom with all the amenities needed. The staff are wonderful and very accommodating. We loved the breakfast. The Masseria is situated on beautiful grounds just 10 minutes out of Ostuni and therefore its location is super convenient. The communal room with fireplace and record player is a very great place to sit and have a wine in the evening. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! We visited in low season and therefor didn’t have the chance to join the dinner (as they weren’t doing that at that time), so I cannot say anything about that. We loved our stay!

Our first Masseria experience. Loved the quietness of the place. Felt like a place you could really stay a while and unwind. Our room was comfortable and the grounds were lovely. Dinner was good I would definitely go back again

Really not much. I think it was just getting use to this being a Masseria. Not a hotel. Breakfast was lovely but they really should put some non perishables out and just take orders for the cooked items and cold items. It always felt rushed and a bit stressful. And dietary requests were sometimes not handled well. Really though I would book this again

Everything was amazing!! The foooood was outstanding! The rooms were amazing and so homey. Takes you back in time in the coolest way. Francesco was the sweetest and most helpful staff member! We loved him.

The only downside was the location because we didn’t have a car. We were only a 10 minute drive from the town. But the taxi’s charge you a lot because they can (there’s really only one taxi service so they charge a $30 for a 10 minute drive) it would be amazing if the masseria had a shuttle service to and from that was maybe 2 euros. Would be so worth it for everyone

The MOST MAGICAL LOCATION/PROPERTY EVER. I wish I could have stayed longer I wish we had arrived sooner for check in, I want and intend to come back on my next vacation and book for a few days to soak it up. Lovely staff, they don't welcome you to the property they welcome you home. It's a beautiful property and if you go you need to go to a dinner. Amazing. Heart and soul and life giving food of the property. Generous portions, generous wine! Wander the grounds, say hi to the peacocks, laugh at leo the cat trying to get fed at breakfast and get yourself some delicious award winning extra virgin olive oil and other products like the liquor and jam as a momento of your time.

The fact they are so popular I could only book for the one night. I suggest staying for a couple of days at least so you can explore the property, the olive groves, and the surrounding area.

It was like taking a step back in time. Every original item that belong to the firm has been lovingly, preserved and displayed. The common areas are full of curios and lovely Antique Furniture . Breakfast in the common room was delicious and the staff took care to provide us with a different vegetarian fair every day. We enjoyed the tour of the property, especially into the sellers to see the old Olive press. Would definitely recommend as a must see when in Puglia

This was my third stay at Masseria Il Frantoio. And it did not disappoint. The location is fantastic for exploring this part of Puglia. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The property lovely and full of character. And the food amazing. They catered fully to my vegan diet and even created a gorgeous 6-course vegan dinner for me. I cannot say enough about their hospitality. Oh, and their olive oil is a must-try. You will definitely want to take some home with you.

This was the most amazing place to stay - it was so fantastic we both really did not want to leave. In terms of facilities, the room is the perfect size, the area around the swimming pool is pure bliss, the buildings themselves are beautiful. We ended up eating in the courtyard for two nights as the masseria offers an eight or six course tasting menu with paired wines and the food was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond explaining everything. I would go back in a heartbeat.
