Absolutely STUNNING property—wow!! Even more beautiful than in pictures. The food was amazing—I ate at the restaurant almost every night! The pool was just gorgeous. The rooms were lovely and the bed so big & comfy. I loved the location and how peaceful and quiet it was. Just a short drive to the old town, but out of busyness and noise. But what made my stay truly unforgettable, and absolutely magical? Was the love and care of the incredible staff. Every single person interacted with was deeply kind and just an incredible human being really! Extra shout out to Katiuscia, Valentina, and Andrea for taking such good care of me! I was traveling alone as a woman and their care was so nourishing to my soul🥰 They all went above and beyond helping me organize taxis, beach reservations, and ensuring I got a beautiful table at dinner even. I love this staff so much, and it is the humans of this Masseria that truly make it a magical & one-of-a-kind experience. This is the place you want to stay while in Otranto—anywhere else is out of the question! I cannot wait to come back next summer💛

Nothing!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Masseria Bandino & Spa. The property feels serene and peaceful, with a stunning swimming pool that invites total relaxation. The on-site restaurant exceeded our expectations — our meal was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and paired perfectly with local wines. The wine tasting was another highlight, offering both excellent selections and a deeper appreciation of the region. The overall setting, hospitality, and quality make this masseria an outstanding choice in Otranto. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, fine dining, and authentic charm.

The only small downside is that spa access isn’t included in the accommodation price, which would have made the experience feel even more complete.

Masseria Bandino offers a thoroughly pleasant stay with several standout qualities. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, contributing greatly to the welcoming atmosphere. The entire facility is clean and well-maintained, ensuring a high level of comfort. The on-site restaurant is excellent, serving fresh regional dishes of high culinary quality. A particular highlight is the fantastic breakfast, offering a wide selection of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a highly recommendable destination for both relaxation and gastronomy.

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.

Breakfast was lovely, great selection of food and beverages including Puglian and other Italian and universal cuisines. Facilities on the grounds were good, resteraunt, pool kiosk, large well maintained pool and gardens . Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning worked Well in our room. Gold cart service into town was awesome

A bathroom closer to the pool would be good.

Beaitiful traditional old farm, offering nice commodities. The breakfast was the best we had in the 2 week road trip around southern italy. Cheeses, cold meats, homemade cakes, all wonderful. The property is just outside Otranto, ideal for visiting the town but also for hiking. There is a small pine forest outside, with wellbeing equipment for cardio. Has a nice restaurant and SPA.

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.
