Dorotea makes the place run smooth. She is a force of nature , taking care of any and all our needs. The pool, grounds and room was spotless . Comfy beds and good internet, hot water etc. The breakfast was generous homemade, fresh laid eggs to order bread yoghurt fruit and delicious home made pies from her mom. She was very kind to let us make salads at lunch in the breakfast kitchen. Also we needed To do wash and borrow umbrellas , which was no problem. Grounds are very tropical feeling w large palms and fauna , kids play structure. You don’t really feel like leaving. MFranca is a perfect base to visit many surrounding towns and only 13 mins by car to town . We loved it there. Can’t say any complaints .

Nothing

Fantastic place near Martina Franca. We stayed in a typical trullo, on the edge of a swimming pool and surrounded by nature and overall a very nice structure. Location is 10mins from Martina Franca which is the centre of Valle D'Itria, so easy to reach Locorotondo, Cisternino, Ceglie, Ostuni (we went for a nice walk and dinner in each of them every night). We even managed a great winery visit in Locorotondo on the way to the beach one day. It's also equi-distant from the Adriatic and Ionian seas, so you can explore the beaches on both sides during the day. We loved it. The breakfast was very nice (especially mum's homemade cakes and dad's homemade capocollo!), under the kiwi pergola ....fantastic! Dorotea was a kind, helpful and cheerful hostess. Very much embodied the local attitude of the people we met during our stay in Puglia (welcoming, nice and always smiling). It's a round 10 from us. Thank you very much.

We booked 3 rooms as we was visiting for a wedding in the area! We was greeted with a very warm welcome and that continued until the minute we left! Breakfast was great… Fridge by the pool was a great idea… could add some crisps etc to that area too! Was really easy to just help yourself and write down what you have had and you pay your bill at the end of the stay!

The countryside was spectacular. We had a very comfortable and cozy room which was very quiet and we slept well. The breakfast was so delicious and all local ingredients. Dorothea and her family are staff are welcoming, endearing and couldn’t spoil the guests any more. My husband and I had a wonderful time!

Not one problem

Host was fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. The beds were super comfortable with memory foam pillows and mattress topper. The room was perfectly clean and it’s in beautiful grounds.

We were in room 1 and just due to the nature of the shape it’s a little tight for tall people especially the bathroom.

The room was spacious and clean. The pool area was beautiful and so peaceful. Dorothea and her family were outstanding - so welcoming, helpful and friendly. She really makes you feel at home! The breakfast was a really nice touch and one of our favourite parts (Dorothea serves a selection of drinks, homemade meats/cheese, bread rolls, spreads, fruit, yogurt, eggs and cakes!).

Couldn’t fault it but would recommend renting a car to visit the nearby towns.

Beautiful garden, amazing smell of flowers.. beautiful surroundings, pool, VERY comfortable sun beds. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly, we were taken care of. Good breakfast. Room is big, air conditioner, nice shower.

We had the apartment at the ground floor and it was quite dark as the window was facing the wall of another room. Also, we could hear absolutely everything from the bathroom of the apartment above us which was disturbing.

Reasons why Dorotea and her daughter are amazing: 1. We got in at 1:00am and they waited up for us to get us checked in. 2. We washed some of our clothes in the sink and hung them on the shower to dry. When we got back to the room, they had hung up our clothes to dry in the sun. I almost cried it was so nice. 3. We ordered something from Germany to be shipped to the hotel and it got lost. The host helped us track down and retrieve the package. 4. They conversed with us every morning at breakfast and gave us recommendations. 5. The had homemade unique cakes everyday at breakfast. 6. They had fresh meat (homemade by Dorotea's father) and cheese every day at breakfast. 7. They made us custom swan towel art in the room!! We were the worst guests and did not deserve them. BOOK THIS PLACE!!!

Everything was perfect! 10/10 would book again!!!

The warm atmosphere created by the owner. The outside breakfast with fresh prepared eggs, cakes … was the best at our whole Appulien trip

We had only a small double room which was a little dark (but clean and a nice bathroom). Next time I would book the truly suite.

Wonderful host with a lovely welcome which was just what we needed after a delayed flight in! The breakfast was amazing, so many options and very attentive throughout. The beds were extremely comfy and the stay was very relaxing, wish we had been staying for longer!
