Masseria Borgo Segine - Relais nel Salento

Amazing animals, fresh farm food, relaxing environment, beautiful and with overly kind staff.

Breakfast, pool, small zoo of animals, tranquility, bbq

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The property photos don't do the place justice - it's stunning. Located in the middle of the countryside - it is as peaceful as it is beautiful there. Lots of greenery, fruit and olive trees, organic gardens, plenty of places to sit out and enjoy the swimming pool, the animals or just chill in the gardens and read a book. Mario, Teo and all the staff are the consummate hosts showing genuine Salento hospitality and they go to a lot of effort to ensure guests are fully enjoying their stay on the property and Puglia in general. The rooms are beautifully furnished with Italian antiques, the bathrooms are modern and having a balcony on either side of the room, meant there was a lovely cool breeze throughout (there's air con too if that's your preference). The food is divine! For breakfast, there was daily freshly baked bread, fruit / veg from the garden and home made treats to set you up for a day's sightseeing. I had dinner there one evening and it was fabulous - my only gripe being that I couldn't finish it all. Lecce, Otranto and the Adriatic coastline beaches are within easy driving distance and while it's located in the countryside (it is an agri-tourismo after all!), it was so nice to return to the peace & tranquility of Relais Borgo Segine and chill out with a glass of the local vino on the balcony for some star-gazing (no light pollution) before bed. It was a truly restorative stay and I hope to return some day.

I enjoyed my entire stay here and could find no fault with my stay here.

Wonderful house, incredible hosts Mario and Teodore - we will come back!

The most amazing villa, with wonderful owners and their truly amazing team, made us feel like in paradise, our kids (6 and 7) were the happiest people on earth in this place. It is an impeccable villa, brand new build in an authentic style, kept all the old traditions and love to the detail. You get fresh flowers in your room (melts my heart), brand new bathroom facilities (hard to find in Italy), freedom and love to kids, hundreds of birds, and you get served every morning freshly made breakfast. We didn’t want to leave, and if ever to come back to Puglia, only here.

Amazing place, not a single thing to complain

Very nice Relais with spacious and modern rooms (brand new washrooms). Our room had a balcony, looking into the yard. Fantastic! Breakfast was made with love. Very nice cappuccino and homemade pastries. Parking is on site without a fee. What makes the Relais special is the people. Everyone we met was soo nice and welcoming. Mario, the owner, is such a nice person. We were glad to spend some time with Teo, who showed us around, meanwhile talking Italian, so that we could improve our italian. Many thanks to you Teo, with your kindness, you made our trip unforgettable. Thank you :)

It felt like home away from home. Truly real Italian hospitality. Kids collected fresh eggs for breakfast. The dinner was amazing and felt that it was prepared with love

This location is not just another touristic place; Mario & Grazia have turned a magic vision into reality and offered to share it with the world! It is an architecture, ecosystem and services unique convergence, a lesson about how life could be lived happily. Try the home made food, it's excellent. Try the local wine they serve, it's great. Enjoy the wonderful garden, the animal community in the yard (worldwide variety), the peace under the sunset and the kindness of the hosts/staff. You must discover yourself all these, it's hard to describe. If you want to eat out sometimes, without travelling extensively in the region, there's a very good pizza place in the next village (3 minutes drive) or the restaurants in Lecce, the next town. Beaches very near, lots of places to see around in the region, at 1-2,5 hours drive; the town of Otranto was the revelation for us.

Outstanding breakfasts! Wonderful & helpful staff! Thank you Teo, Mary & Anna! Large, beautiful & comfortable rooms with a fabulous bathroom! It's a farm retreat where we were able to totally relax.

You are in the countryside & need to drive along narrow roads to access the local restaurants. This didn't concern us but be aware!

Breakfast was amazing, property dog was so cute. Grounds were lush and beautiful. Staff was so nice. Rooms were huge and very very clean. Pictures did not do the place justice.

Nothing.

Very clean and comfortable room. Beautiful and a little bit mystic garden. A lot of space, no neighbours. Attention to details. The hosts were nice and kind.

Only one of the hosts speak english. When he isn't there the comunication is difficult for strangers. When the hotel was full, always something run out at breakfast. There were domestics birds nearby making noise from three o'clock in the morning. It was impossible to sleep whit open windows.
